Bonus points offer

The JetBlue Card does have a bonus points offer for new cardmembers. After spending $1,000 within the first 90 days of owning the card, you’ll earn 10,000 points. While a bonus points offer is a nice perk, this one is not as generous as other airline cards.

Earns rewards

You’ll be rewarded for your spending when using this card.

Here’s a breakdown of how the JetBlue Card earns rewards:

• You’ll earn 3 points per $1 on eligible JetBlue purchases
• You’ll earn 2 points per $1 at restaurants and eligible grocery stores
• You’ll earn 1 point on other purchases outside of these categories

50% in-flight savings on food and drinks

You’ll save 50% on eligible in-flight food and drink purchases on JetBlue-operated flights. Eligible purchases include beer, cocktails, and meals. Savings are in the form of statement credit posted to your account. If you enjoy ordering beverages or food while in the air, this is an attractive card perk that can save you some money.

Reach Mosaic status faster

When you spend money with the JetBlue Card, you’ll get closer to achieving elite status. Mosaic, JetBlue’s elite status level, can be earned when you earn 50 tiles. When you spend money with your JetBlue Card, you’ll earn one tile for every $1,000 spent. If you spend $50,000 with your credit card, you can achieve Mosaic status, which offers extra benefits to improve your flying experience, like early boarding and two free checked bags.

No foreign transaction fees

No foreign transaction fees are charged when using this card in other countries. If you like to travel internationally and plan to use this card on your trips, you won’t have to worry about additional fees. Typically, credit card issuers charge 3% for foreign transaction fees.

Intro APR balance transfer offer

The JetBlue Card promotes an introductory balance transfer APR of 0%, 12 billing cycles, available to new cardmembers. This is only valid for balance transfers, not new card purchases. Balance transfers must be posted to your account within 45 days of account opening. A go-to APR of 21.24%, 25.24% or 29.99%, variable applies after the intro period ends. The balance transfer fee is 5% ($5 min.) per transfer.

If you have credit card debt you want to pay off, this gives you plenty of time to do so without incurring additional interest charges.
