Barclays JetBlue Business Card Review

The JetBlue Business Card is an airline co-branded business travel credit card designed for business owners who frequently fly with JetBlue. It earns six points per dollar on JetBlue purchases, two points per dollar at restaurants and office supply stores and one point per dollar on all other purchases. The card has a 50,000-point sign-up bonus when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 90 days. You’ll earn an additional 10,000 points when a purchase is made on an employee card in the same period. Cardholder benefits include a free checked bag for you and up to three companions on the same reservation, 50% in-flight savings and no foreign transaction fees. The card has an annual fee of $99.

Book all your JetBlue flights using the JetBlue Business Card, and pay with the card at restaurants and office supply stores to get the bonus points on that spend. For all other spending, consider adding another business card to your arsenal that either has a higher base rate or rewards other high-spending categories you may have. Try to add at least one employee card and make a purchase with it in the first 90 days to score an additional welcome bonus worth 10,000 points and to increase your earning potential moving forward.

Editor’s Take

If you’re a business traveler who usually checks a bag and enjoys an in-flight snack when you fly JetBlue, cashing in on this card’s freebies and discounts can make the annual fee worthwhile. The welcome bonus is strong, so try to time the card opening when you need to make a large purchase. As with most airline cards, this one only makes sense if you frequently fly with JetBlue, very rarely fly other airlines and can pay your card balance in full each month to avoid interest charges.
