What JetBlue credit cards are available in 2026?

JetBlue offers three Barclays co-branded cards: the JetBlue Card (no annual fee), JetBlue Plus Card ($99/year), and JetBlue Business Card ($99/year). All earn TrueBlue points on JetBlue purchases and everyday spending. The Plus card adds a 10% points bonus, first checked bag free, and annual bonus points that effectively offset the fee.

Is the JetBlue Plus card worth the $99 annual fee?

For regular JetBlue flyers, yes. The Plus card provides the first checked bag free for you and up to 3 companions on every JetBlue flight — saving $35 per bag each way. Two roundtrips per year with one checked bag = $140 in savings, more than covering the $99 fee. You also earn 6x points on JetBlue purchases vs. 3x on the no-fee card.

How do JetBlue TrueBlue points work?

TrueBlue points never expire and have no blackout dates on JetBlue flights. Redemptions are cash-value-based — points are worth approximately 1.3–1.5 cents each for JetBlue flights. There are no partner airlines for earning or redeeming, but JetBlue is a Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partner (1:1 from Sapphire cards), allowing you to supplement your TrueBlue balance.

Does the JetBlue card earn points on non-JetBlue spending?

Yes. The JetBlue Card earns 3x on JetBlue purchases, 2x at restaurants and grocery stores, and 1x on all other purchases. The JetBlue Plus earns 6x on JetBlue, 2x at restaurants/groceries, and 1x elsewhere. The Business card earns 6x on JetBlue, 2x at restaurants/office supply stores, and 1x on all else.

Can I earn Mosaic status with a JetBlue credit card?

JetBlue Mosaic status requires flying a minimum number of tiles (segments + spend) annually. Card spending on the JetBlue Plus and Business cards earns Mosaic-qualifying tiles — $1,000 in card spending = 1 tile, and you need 50 tiles for Mosaic 1. This can accelerate status for occasional flyers who spend heavily on the card.

JetBlue Credit Card Review 2026 — Which JetBlue Card Is Right for You?

JetBlue offers three co-branded credit cards through Barclays for 2026. The JetBlue Plus ($99/year) is the best value for anyone who checks bags on JetBlue — the free first checked bag benefit pays for the fee after just two roundtrips. The no-fee card works for occasional travelers, and the Business card mirrors the Plus for small-business owners.

JetBlue Card (No Annual Fee)

The base JetBlue Card earns 3x on JetBlue purchases and 2x on dining and groceries — a solid no-fee option for infrequent JetBlue flyers. No checked bag benefit means you pay JetBlue’s standard first bag fee ($35 each way) unless you hold Mosaic status or book certain fares.

Best for: Occasional JetBlue flyers who never check bags.

JetBlue Plus Card ($99/Year)

The Plus card is the standout choice. Key benefits:

First checked bag free for the cardholder and up to 3 companions on every JetBlue flight — worth $35 per bag each way
5,000 anniversary bonus points (~$65–$75 in flight value) each year at renewal
10% TrueBlue points back on every redemption (redeem 10,000 points, get 1,000 back)
50% off inflight food/drinks vs. 25% on the no-fee card

Break-even: Two roundtrips with one checked bag each = $140 in bag fee savings > $99 annual fee.

TrueBlue Points Value

TrueBlue points are worth approximately 1.3–1.5 cents each when redeemed for JetBlue flights. Points never expire as long as your account is active.

Example: 10,000 TrueBlue points = $130–$150 in JetBlue flight value. A 6x earning rate on JetBlue means $1,000 of JetBlue spending earns 6,000 points ($78–$90 in flights).

Chase Ultimate Rewards Connection

If you hold the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to JetBlue TrueBlue at 1:1. This means JetBlue Plus cardholders can supplement TrueBlue balances by transferring from Chase — useful for a specific redemption goal.

Should You Get a JetBlue Card?

Yes, if: You fly JetBlue 2+ times per year, check bags, and want to earn TrueBlue points without an ecosystem commitment.

Skip it if: You prefer flexible points (Chase, Amex), fly other airlines primarily, or want airport lounge access (JetBlue has no lounge benefit).
