JetBlue Plus

The JetBlue Plus is built for JetBlue flyers who want an airline card that can pay for itself without requiring premium-card spending. It works best as a specialist card for JetBlue trips, with a few bonus categories for dining and groceries, rather than as your main card for everything.

Is the JetBlue Plus worth it?

This card is great for...

Checked bags on JetBlue flights

JetBlue family travel

JetBlue Vacations bookings

Yes, if you fly JetBlue with any regularity and check bags. The $99 annual fee is easy to justify for cardholders who use the free first checked bag benefit even a couple of times a year, especially since it covers you and up to 3 eligible companions on JetBlue-operated flights. The 6x points on JetBlue purchases also makes it a strong card to pull out when booking flights with the airline, and the welcome bonus is solid for a mid-tier airline card.

It is a weaker fit if JetBlue is only an occasional option for you. Outside JetBlue purchases, the rewards are fairly modest, and the $100 JetBlue Vacations credit only helps if you would book that way anyway. For most readers, this card makes sense as a JetBlue loyalty play, not as a broad everyday rewards card.

MaxRewards Verdict

The JetBlue Plus makes the most sense for people who fly JetBlue often enough to use the checked bag benefit and earn extra value on JetBlue bookings. If JetBlue is not one of your regular airlines, the card's ongoing value gets much thinner.

Benefits

$0 / $100

The practical value here comes from a short list of airline-specific perks rather than a long benefits package. The most important question is whether the checked bag benefit and JetBlue Vacations credit fit how you already travel.
