Barclays
JetBlue Premier
What it is
The JetBlue Premier is a Barclays card earning JetBlue TrueBlue points. For most, its value is mostly up front in the welcome bonus rather than ongoing perks. JetBlue's premium card — a travel credit, Priority Pass lounge access, a free checked bag, and an award-flight points rebate aim to justify the steep fee for a frequent JetBlue flyer. Much weaker if you rarely fly JetBlue; earning the welcome bonus means paying the annual fee within 90 days.
Offer history
Value is the welcome bonus at your valuations. The Year 1 total also counts recurring benefits and subtracts the annual fee. Spend / mo (the dashed line, right axis) is the monthly pace to clear the minimum spend in time — shown on every view so the spend stays in context.
