How we estimate
- Every rate on this page comes from the card catalog. JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard 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.

Credits and perks
| Credit | Sticker value | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| TrueBlue Travel statement credits Up to $300 in annual statement credits on TrueBlue Travel purchases (hotels, car rentals, cruises and similar), per calendar year. | $300 | $300 |
| Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application credit Up to $120 for a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee, offered every 4 years and so not annualized here. | $120 | $120 |
| Priority Pass lounge membership Counted at $100 because most people do not use the full $469. Access to over 1,800 participating lounges and travel experiences in more than 700 airports across 146 countries. Priority Pass costs up to $469 a year on its own, but most people visit a few lounges a year and many already hold another card with it, so it counts as $100 and only once per wallet. | $469 | $100 |
| JetBlue companion pass statement credits Up to $2,000 of companion pass statement credits per calendar year: one pass worth up to $500 after $15,000 in calendar-year purchases, plus an additional pass worth up to $1,500 after $75,000 in annual purchases. Modeled at the full face value; the second tier requires $75,000 of annual spend. | $2,000 | $2,000 |
Sticker value is the full face amount. Counted is what the calculator credits, which is lower where most people do not use the perk in full.
Where this data came from
Checked cards.barclaycardus.com 2026-10-05. 6x TrueBlue points on eligible JetBlue purchases; 2x at restaurants and eligible grocery stores; 1x on all other purchases. Public offer: 90,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee in full, both within the first 90 days. Annual fee $499, plus $150 per authorized user. Checked-bag and companion benefits apply to JetBlue-operated flights only; codeshares and partner-operated flights are not eligible. The card launched in 2025 and was enhanced in an April 2026 announcement. CentPerPoint is set to null to match this catalog's treatment of JetBlue TrueBlue on the JetBlue Plus Card, so the 1.0 optimizer default applies. Unverified: the foreign transaction fee is not stated on the product page, so ForeignTransactionFee is left null. Unverified: the ClassPass benefit, announced for spring 2026 as up to 14 monthly credits, has no stated dollar value and is therefore not modeled. Unverified: the 25-tile Mosaic bonus and BlueHouse lounge access carry no stated dollar value and are not modeled.
FAQ

6× on travel booked direct, and 1× on spending outside its bonus categories.
It depends on your mix, not the card. Earning back $499 means about $832 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 $2,520 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 90000.0, 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 $900, before you count the annual fee and whether you would clear the spending requirement for it.
No. The JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard 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 Premier World Elite Mastercard charges no foreign transaction fee, so spending abroad earns at the same rate as at home, minus what the merchant adds.
