Overview

Is the JetBlue Plus worth it?

This card is great for...

Free checked bags for groups

JetBlue flight bookings

JetBlue Vacations credits

For anyone who flies JetBlue even twice a year, the JetBlue Plus Card easily offsets its $99 annual fee. The free first checked bag benefit extends to you and up to three travel companions on JetBlue-operated flights, which can save a group over $100 on a single round trip. You also earn 6x points on JetBlue purchases and receive a $100 annual statement credit when booking a JetBlue Vacations package, making fee justification virtually automatic for brand loyalists.

On the other hand, if JetBlue does not serve your home airport or you prefer flexible rewards that transfer across multiple airlines, this card has limited appeal. Outside of JetBlue, dining, and grocery purchases, the standard earning rate is modest, meaning casual travelers may be better served by a generic travel rewards card.

MaxRewards Verdict

An exceptional choice for regular JetBlue travelers who use checked bags or vacation credits, though less useful for general travelers seeking flexible point options.
