    Editorial take: JetBlue Plus Card

    Strong East Coast card. The 5,000 anniversary points alone are worth ~$65 (more than half the fee), and the 10% redemption rebate keeps the rest of your TrueBlue stash compounding.

    Editorial take: JetBlue Premier Card

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, JetBlue Plus Card or JetBlue Premier Card?
    The JetBlue Plus Card has a public bonus (70,000 points, worth roughly $910), while the JetBlue Premier Card doesn't advertise one right now.
    Is the JetBlue Plus Card's $99 annual fee worth it compared to the JetBlue Premier Card?
    At $99/yr, the JetBlue Plus Card is in the mid-fee tier. Compare its specific perks (lounge access, travel credits, primary rental insurance) to the JetBlue Premier Card's, pick the one whose perks you'll actually use.
    Can I have both the JetBlue Plus Card and JetBlue Premier Card?
    Yes, though both are issued by Barclays so the same issuer-specific application rules apply (Chase 5/24 if applicable, Amex once-per-lifetime bonus, etc.). Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
    Should I get the JetBlue Plus Card or the JetBlue Premier Card first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. JetBlue Plus Card: $1,000 spend in 3 months. JetBlue Premier Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
