Frontier has announced a 10% discount on domestic flights purchased by February 26, 2014 and flown by June 12, 2014 with promo code PLAYBALL.
This 10% discount does not apply to Frontier’s international destinations like Jamaica, Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic.
To get to those places, your best bet is to redeem 15k Frontier miles each way. You can get The Frontier Airlines World MasterCard® with 40,000 bonus miles after spending $500 in the first 90 days, which is more than enough for a roundtrip anywhere Frontier flies or enough for two roundtrips within the USA.
How does the 10% discount work?
A 10% discount on airfare is extremely rare, especially since Frontier’s flights are often already quite cheap.
To get the discounted airfare, go to flyfrontier.com and perform any domestic search for flights before June 12 with promo code PLAYBALL.
The screen shots below are from the last promotion which had code “SUPER.”
I priced out a weekend trip from Los Angeles to Denver for next month. The 10% discount off the base fare–not including taxes–shows up on the flight selection screen.
On the purchase screen, all the checked bag fees, change fees, seat selection fees, and mileage earning are clearly spelled out, which is a nice touch. Frontier fees are a bit below their competitors’.
Alaska
Frontier serves Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska seasonally. In 2014, service begins to Anchorage May 15 and to Fairbanks May 16.
As I noted in “Frontier World MasterCard with 40,000 Bonus Miles after Spending $500 Means Two Free Domestic Roundtrips“, Frontier has incredible award space to Alaska for only 10k miles per person each way.
That means the The Frontier Airlines World MasterCard® with 40,000 bonus miles has enough bonus miles for two roundtrips to Alaska this summer!

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.
With a bonus of 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in the first 3 months, 5x points on travel booked through the Chase Travel℠ and 3x points on restaurants, streaming services, and online groceries (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs), this card truly cannot be beat for getting started!

I’d rather poke my eyes out than fly them anywhere. The savings might be 10% but by the time you get nickel and dimed for everything (soon it’ll be extra to use a seat belt) the savings has been negated.
If you know the fees up front and avoid them, you get a cheap deal indeed.
