## Summary

Frontier is offering a 150% bonus on purchased miles through October 23, 2026, for an effective cost of 1.08 cents per mile after fees. Frontier Miles members must buy at least 10,000 miles in one transaction to get that rate. Each transaction is capped at 50,000 base miles, which nets 125,000 miles. Checkout adds a 7.5% tax recovery fee.

Purchases of 2,000 to 4,000 miles get a 100% bonus at 1.34 cents per mile. Purchases of 5,000 to 9,000 miles get a 120% bonus at 1.22 cents per mile. The standard price is 2.5 cents before the fee, or 2.69 cents with no bonus. No limit applies to the number of transactions. Miles typically credit within 24 hours. Purchased miles cannot be refunded and do not count toward elite status. Balances lapse after 12 months of no earning activity. Award pricing follows cash fares. Many awards are basic fares that omit seat selection and a carry-on.

Buy only for a booking already cheaper in miles than cash, and skip any stockpile because miles expire after 12 months of inactivity.
