How we estimate
- Every rate on this page comes from the card catalog. JetBlue Plus Card pays 1× on spending outside the bonus categories listed above, and up to 6× on travel booked direct.
- We value this card's points at 1¢ each. Cash back is valued at 1¢.
- Net is a year of rewards minus the annual fee. Credits count only when you tick the box.
- Welcome bonuses are left out of the tool so the numbers read as an ordinary year.
- Rent is not in the boxes: most landlords charge a fee that cancels out the rewards, and only a few cards earn on rent at all. Add rent in the full calculator, where those rules are modelled.
- Travel-portal bookings are not in the boxes, because portal prices differ from booking direct. The portal rates are in the table above.
- Rates checked with issuers in October 2026. Terms change, so confirm with the issuer before you apply. Educational estimate, not financial advice.

FAQ
The JetBlue Plus Card charges $99 a year. Earning back $99 means about $165 a month on travel booked direct, where it earns 5¢ more per dollar than the base rate. Credits and the welcome bonus can cover the rest.
6× on travel booked direct, and 1× on spending outside its bonus categories.
It depends on your mix, not the card. Earning back $99 means about $165 a month on travel booked direct, where it earns 5¢ more per dollar than the base rate. Credits and the welcome bonus can cover the rest. It also carries $100 of credits we can count, but only count them if you would spend that money anyway. Run your own numbers in the calculator above to see where it lands against the rest of the catalog.
The listed welcome offer is 70,000 points, and offers at these cards change often, so confirm the current terms and the spending requirement with the issuer before you apply. At 1¢ a point that is about $700, before you count the annual fee and whether you would clear the spending requirement for it.
No. The JetBlue Plus Card earns JetBlue TrueBlue that you redeem for statement credit or shopping rather than transferring to a partner, so its realistic value is about 1¢ a point.
No. The JetBlue Plus Card charges no foreign transaction fee, so spending abroad earns at the same rate as at home, minus what the merchant adds.
