JetBlue Card from American Express
The JetBlue Card from American Express is designed for those who travel frequently with JetBlue Airlines and would like to take advantage of the airline reward program.Through the reward program, cardholders earn one Award Dollar for each dollar spent on the card. Two Award Dollars are earned for each dollar spent on JetBlue flights, restaurants, movie theaters, gym memberships, event tickets, and golf green fees. It is important to understand that 200 Award Dollars are equal to one TrueBlue® point, and 100 TrueBlue® points are equal to one round-trip flight. Cardholders receive 5,000 bonus Award Dollars after the first purchase, which equals 50 TrueBlue® points toward a free round trip ticket. There is no limit to the amount of Award Dollars that can be earned, but TrueBlue® points expire one year after they are earned, and TrueBlue® awards expire one year after they are issued.
In addition to the reward program, cardholders can expect common benefits offered by American Express, such as various emergency assistance services, purchase protection, extended warranty services, and up to $100,000 in travel accident insurance.
The annual fee of $40 is reasonable as compared to other airline reward cards. There is a 3.99% introductory rate for six months that applies to balance transfers submitted with the application, and the interest rate is above average for purchases and balance transfers once the introductory rate expires.
Therefore, those who can afford to pay in full each month after the introductory rate expires (to avoid finance charges) and plan to take advantage of the reward program will benefit most from what the JetBlue Card from American Express has to offer.
