Signup bonus: 50,000 points after $500 in 3 months. We never count unearned bonuses in savings math — a bonus you don't clear is worth zero. After $500 in purchases AND paying the $99 annual fee in full, both within 90 days of account opening (no first-year waiver on the issuer's page as of 2026-09-14). Barclays adds 10,000 more once an authorized user is added, so the headline reads 'up to 60,000'. Bonus figure confirmed on the issuer's page 2026-09-14.
Non-cash perks
- $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $99
- Instant Elite Gold status after first purchase in the first 90 days
- Two free checked bags on eligible Frontier flights
- $100 flight voucher each anniversary after $2,500 spend in the cardmember year
- 1 Elite Status Point per $1 spent
- Zone 2 priority boarding
- Award redemption fee waived when taxes/fees are paid with the card
- No foreign transaction fees
Does the fee earn out? · how we got this
The $99 fee minus $0 in printed credits leaves $99/yr to earn back through rewards — roughly $3,300 of dining spending at 3x (valuing Frontier miles at the same mid-range value the optimizer uses). Whether that clears depends on your actual spending.

Who this card is not for
Every point below is a term the issuer prints, read off this card's own row in our database — not an opinion about the card. One thing on this card rules out a kind of spender:
- Anyone who doesn't spend at Frontier (flyfrontier.com). Its largest printed rate, 5x on flights, pays only at Frontier (flyfrontier.com). Anywhere else it earns its base 1x, so the headline number is a loyalty rate rather than a category rate — which is why no ranking on this site counts it.
