Issuer Rules
Rules: For 2026, applicants for the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard from Barclays are generally subject to the following rules: **Welcome Offer Eligibility:** Applicants are typically eligible for the welcome bonus if they have not received a bonus for this specific product in the past 24 months. The welcome offer usually entails earning a specified number of Frontier Miles after spending a certain amount (e.g., $1,000 - $2,000) within the first 3 months of account opening. **Barclays 6/24 Rule:** A key application rule for Barclays is the '6/24 Rule,' meaning applicants are generally denied if they have opened more than 6 new credit card accounts across all issuers in the past 24 months. **General Eligibility:** Applicants must be 18 years or older, a U.S. resident, and possess an excellent credit history (typically a FICO score of 740+ is recommended for approval). Barclays also assesses overall credit exposure and recent credit inquiries.
Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 2
Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months
Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), high cumulative credit limit across all Barclays accounts, rapid increase in credit seeking behavior (numerous applications/new accounts), bust out behavior (maxing out cards and not paying), cycling credit, significant changes in spending patterns inconsistent with historical behavior, defaulting on payments or late payments, and excessive credit inquiries.
