About this card
The JetBlue Plus Card earns a strong overall rating of 4.2, placing it firmly in the 'Excellent' category. This assessment is driven by its exceptional rewards program and travel benefits, which are overwhelmingly praised by consumers and industry experts alike. The card offers an outstanding 6X points on JetBlue purchases, generous sign-up bonus, and valuable perks such as a free first checked bag for the cardholder and up to three companions, a 5,000-point anniversary bonus, and a 10% points rebate on award flights. These benefits easily offset the $99 annual fee, making it a 'must-have' for frequent JetBlue flyers. The absence of foreign transaction fees further enhances its appeal for international travelers. The card holds an excellent reputation, notably earning a J.D. Power Award for #1 in customer satisfaction among co-branded airline credit cards, indicating a high degree of satisfaction within its target demographic. The primary drawbacks are its high regular APR, which ranges from 19.49% to 29.49%, and higher-than-average balance transfer and cash advance fees. While these fees and the high APR can be significant for cardholders who carry a balance or frequently use ancillary services, they are less impactful for responsible users who leverage the card primarily for its travel benefits and pay their statement in full. Considering its outstanding value proposition and strong fit for its target audience, the card's strengths significantly outweigh its weaknesses, warranting an excellent rating.
