The JetBlue Business Card, issued by Barclays, offers several benefits for frequent JetBlue flyers who are looking for a business credit card. With an annual fee of $99 and a recommended credit score of 670, the card provides valuable perks that can offset its cost.
The card features include a free first checked bag for the cardholder and up to three companions on the same reservation, priority boarding, and a 10% rebate on award flights. Additionally, there is an anniversary bonus of 5,000 points which reduces the effective annual fee. New cardholders can earn up to 60,000 bonus points with initial spending requirements.
Emily Thompson from The Points Guy highlights that “TrueBlue points are worth 1.3 cents,” making the welcome offer potentially worth $780. Other notable benefits include no foreign transaction fees and additional employee cards at no extra cost.
The JetBlue Business Card earns six points per dollar on eligible JetBlue purchases, two points per dollar at restaurants and office supply stores, and one point per dollar on all other purchases. TrueBlue points can be redeemed without blackout dates for JetBlue flights and through partnerships with airlines like Cape Air and Qatar Airways.
Alternatives to this card include the American Express Business Gold Card for those with high spending in specific categories or the Ink Business Unlimited Credit Card for everyday expenses.
In summary, while offering valuable rewards for JetBlue loyalists, those less committed to flying with JetBlue might consider other options that provide transferable rewards or cater more broadly to their travel needs.
