Is the JetBlue Card right for you?

The JetBlue is a no-annual-fee TrueBlue Points card from Barclays. Its strongest everyday earning is 3x on JetBlue purchases, with 1x on most other purchases. With no fee, the question is simply whether 3x on JetBlue purchases beats what your current card earns there.

Who it's for

✓ Regular TrueBlue customers who will redeem with that program
✓ Anyone who wants JetBlue purchases rewards without paying an annual fee

Who should skip it
