How to protect your FRONTIER Miles while you are alive
There is no way to name a beneficiary or successor on a FRONTIER Miles account. While the account holder is alive, Frontier Airlines allows family pooling and gift purchases.
Frontier Airlines' terms provide a path for FRONTIER Miles after a death, and what the account holder sets up in advance decides how smoothly that path runs. There is no way to name a beneficiary or successor on a FRONTIER Miles account. While the account holder is alive, Frontier Airlines allows family pooling and gift purchases.
How to protect your FRONTIER Miles
- •The pool head must hold a Frontier Airlines World Mastercard or any Elite tier status.
- •Pool contributors do not have to be relatives.
- •A will or trust provision that identifies who should receive the Miles gives the executor something to present.

What Frontier Airlines's terms say about sharing and transfers4
- Pooling with family
Under Section 12 of the Terms, a pool is one primary account holder, who must hold a Frontier Airlines World Mastercard or any Elite tier status, plus up to eight contributors. The Family Pooling page and help article describe "a group of up to 8 people."1, 2, 3
The primary account holder controls the pool, redeems from it without contributors' permission and may remove anyone at any time. Redemptions draw first-in, first-out; on cancellation unused Miles return to whoever earned them, and a member who leaves waits 90 days to join or create a pool.1
Frontier states that friends, coworkers, roommates and family can all be contributors, with no minimums, maximums or hidden transaction fees on pool contributions.2, 3
- Gifting and purchases for others
Miles can be purchased or gifted through Frontier's partner Points.com, and those Miles can be added to a pool.1
- Transfers to another member
Outside Family Pooling and Points.com purchases or gifts, the Terms name only a mileage transfer supported by a court decree of FRONTIER Miles ownership in a domestic matter, such as divorce or separation.1
Selling, bartering or otherwise exchanging Miles for value outside those channels is prohibited; those Miles are void, and Frontier states violators may be liable for damages and litigation costs.1
- Expiry and activity requirements
Travel Miles expire at the end of the twelve-month period after the last accrual activity date unless the member holds an active Frontier Airlines World Mastercard; they do not expire while that card account remains open and in good standing.4
Redeeming Miles and other miscellaneous adjustments do not extend the expiration date.4
Pooling does not suspend expiration: each contributor's Miles expire on their own accrual history, except contributors under 18, who take the primary account holder's expiration date, and expired Miles leave the pool balance.1
Frontier names two alternatives for a balance that is about to expire: redemption with its partner Mags for Miles, or donation of unused Miles to charitable organizations.1
Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
