Does the fee earn out? · how we got this

The $499 fee minus $0 in printed credits leaves $499/yr to earn back through rewards — roughly $19,193 of dining spending at 2x (valuing JetBlue TrueBlue at the same mid-range value the optimizer uses). Whether that clears depends on your actual spending.

Who this card is not for

Every point below is a term the issuer prints, read off this card's own row in our database — not an opinion about the card. One thing on this card rules out a kind of spender:

Anyone who doesn't spend at JetBlue. Its largest printed rate, 6x on flights, pays only at JetBlue. Anywhere else it earns its base 1x, so the headline number is a loyalty rate rather than a category rate — which is why no ranking on this site counts it.
