Which credits will you actually use?
5,000 anniversary bonus points
$65/yrPosts automatically each year on renewal; valued at ~1.3 cents per point, so about $65. This is what really offsets the fee.
Free first checked bag
$0/yrWorth ~$70 round-trip per person who checks a bag, but only if you actually fly JetBlue and check bags. We count it at $0 by default and let you decide.
10% points back on redemptions
$0/yrRebates 10% of points used on JetBlue-operated award flights. Real but only valuable if you redeem TrueBlue points; counted at $0 by default.
Starting from our model's credit defaults. Tap to make it yours. Bonus and rewards valued at a conservative 1.1c/point.
We value JetBlue TrueBlue at a conservative 1.1c/point (a motivated redeemer can reach ~1.3c). JetBlue TrueBlue points are revenue-based (~1.1-1.3c), no award chart, few partners. Value is predictable but capped: don't stockpile them. See how we value points.

How we make money, honestly: we may earn a commission if you apply for a card through one of our links, and a small commission if you book a hotel through one of our links. Both at no cost to you. Our ranking never depends on payout fields. A “pay cash” verdict earns us nothing by itself; if you then book a hotel through one of our links, we may earn a commission. Offers and terms change constantly; always confirm current details on the provider's site before booking.
