JetBlue Plus Card by Barclays: 6x flights / airfare on eligible JetBlue purchases, 2x dining & restaurants, 2x groceries / supermarkets, 1x everything…
The JetBlue Plus Card is Barclays's mid-tier credit card. The $99/yr annual fee includes a 70,000-point welcome bonus after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months. Barclays' terms, as of October 18, 2026: the 70,000 points come after you spend $1,000 on purchases and pay the $99 annual fee in full, both within the first 90 days. Beyond the welcome bonus, here's what the card actually delivers.
| Credit | Value | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| JetBlue Vacations credit | $100/yr | $100 statement credit each calendar year after purchasing a JetBlue Vacations package of $100 or more |
| 5,000-point Anniversary Bonus | $68/yr | 5,000 TrueBlue points each year after the account anniversary; about $68 at our 1.35-cent JetBlue value. |
Welcome bonus value (year one): ~$945. Annual statement credits: $168. Minus the $99 annual fee = ~$1014 in year-one net value before any spending earn. RewardsGuru rating: 4.2/5 — based on our net-value methodology.
Best fit: someone whose category spending matches the card's earn multipliers. Skip if: your spending pattern is flat across categories — a 2% flat-rate card would beat this.
70,000 points after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months. At our ~1.35¢/pt valuation, that's roughly $945 in real value.
Year-one math: welcome bonus value (~$945) + annual credits ($168) − $99 fee = ~$1014 net before spending earn. Year-two onward, the credits alone need to clear $99 — they do. Worth it if you'll use the credits, skip if you'd let them expire.
2 recurring statement credits: JetBlue Vacations credit ($100/yr), 5,000-point Anniversary Bonus ($68/yr). Total: $168/yr.
