Frequent Miler on the Air · Friday, July 3, 2026
Contrary to a previous on-air statement, numerous airline-branded credit cards now offer 5x earning on flights with their respective airlines. Examples include the JetBlue cards (6x), United Club card (5x), Qatar Airways Privilege Club Infinite card (5x), and Frontier Airlines World Mastercard (5x).
“On a previous episode, we mentioned that, uh, Gary left from View from the Wing had written in saying, well, actually Jet Blue cards earn in 6X, flying Jet Blue, and there's a city, uh, American Airlines, uh, executive card that earns 5X, but only if you spent $150,000 on it.”
“So the personal United Club card earns 5X for United flights.”
“So first up, you've got the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard earns 5X on Frontier.”
“And then the much more popular, uh, Velocity Airlines World Elite Mastercard also earns 5X.”
