Guru’s Wrap-Up
A decent card for those who often fly Frontier. The signup bonus will get you two round trips in Economy within the US. You also have the opportunity to earn Elite Status through credit card spending. That might not always make sense as you can earn more valuable points with other cards, but some of you might find it useful.
