JetBlue-branded credit cards are travel rewards cards co-issued with Barclays (and Banco Popular in Puerto Rico) that primarily reward JetBlue flights and offer perks like inflight discounts, accelerated TrueBlue points, and, on some versions, free checked bags and annual statement credits.

What the JetBlue credit card is

  • The core JetBlue Card is a no-annual-fee airline card that earns bonus TrueBlue points on JetBlue flights, restaurants, and grocery stores, plus discounts on inflight food and drinks.
  • More premium versions (like the JetBlue Plus Card) add an annual fee in exchange for higher earning rates on JetBlue, checked-bag perks, and recurring statement credits tied to JetBlue Vacations purchases.

Main JetBlue card options

  • JetBlue Card (no annual fee)
    • $0 annual fee and 3X points on JetBlue purchases, 2X at restaurants and grocery stores, 1X on other spending.
* Perks often include 50% savings on eligible inflight food and beverages and no foreign transaction fees, but no free checked bag.
  • JetBlue Plus Card (annual fee)
    • Higher earn rates such as 6X points on JetBlue purchases and similar 2X categories for dining and groceries, plus 1X elsewhere.
* Adds perks like free first checked bag for you and up to three companions on the same reservation when you book with the card, 5,000 anniversary points, and an annual statement credit on qualifying JetBlue Vacations packages (e.g., around $100 on a package of $100+).
  • Business / Puerto Rico variants
    • JetBlue business cards mirror many Plus benefits (statement credit for JetBlue Vacations, inflight discount, no foreign transaction fees) but are issued for small-business use.
* Banco Popular’s JetBlue Mastercard in Puerto Rico is positioned as a travel card with no annual fee, inflight savings, and the ability to earn and redeem TrueBlue points, with terms specific to Puerto Rico customers.

Common perks and limitations

  • Typical perks
    • Elevated TrueBlue earnings on JetBlue and travel-related spend, inflight savings on food and drinks, and no foreign transaction fees on most consumer versions.
* Some cards let you earn Mosaic status faster and offer small annual statement credits tied to JetBlue Vacations purchases.
  • Typical drawbacks
    • Premium versions charge an annual fee and often require high spend (for example, tens of thousands of dollars per year) to unlock status shortcuts.
* Entry-level cards may offer weaker welcome bonuses and fewer travel perks, and not all versions include a free checked bag.

Recent forum chatter and user experiences

  • Recent forum threads show some applicants frustrated by extra verification “hoops,” with users attributing this more to tightening bank underwriting and recent address changes than to JetBlue itself.
  • Other discussions revolve around whether checked-bag benefits apply to cheaper fare types (like Blue Basic) as long as the ticket is purchased with an eligible JetBlue credit card, reflecting real-world confusion over how perks trigger in practice.
