Yesterday Frontier Airlines and Barclays announced that cardholders of the Frontier World Mastercard have a new benefit: two free checked bags for the primary cardholder. The benefit is effective immediately.
In order to be eligible for the checked bags benefit, cardholders must book the ticket directly from Frontier, pay for the ticket with their Frontier Mastercard and add their Frontier Miles number to the ticket before check-in.

Quick Thoughts
This is a nice improvement on the Frontier card, especially given how cheap most of the airline’s fares are…and since checked bags can be as much as $99 each.
Frontier cardholders also get waived award redemption fees and new applicants currently have the opportunity to get a a year of Gold Status by spending $3k on the card within the first 90 days. That gets you seat assignments at booking, no change or cancel fees, free carry-on bags and premium seating at check-in (such as it is).
For folks who fly Frontier a lot, all of that could add up to a very interesting combination and put a dent into the copious fees that the airline is known for.
