With a $499 annual fee, this is the most expensive card in JetBlue's co-branded lineup.

In addition to helping members achieve faster elite status and enjoy coveted seat upgrades, the card provides access to exclusive lounges. JetBlue Premier cardholders and one guest will be able to relax in upcoming lounges at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), both expected to open before the year ends. Moreover, the card includes a Priority Pass membership, which grants entry into over 1,500 airport lounges globally. This benefit ensures that travelers can unwind comfortably during layovers or long waits.
To enhance the value of the card and justify its hefty price tag, JetBlue has incorporated several standout features. One notable perk is the inclusion of a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee credit, simplifying security checks. In addition, cardholders enjoy Group A Priority boarding, ensuring they board flights ahead of others. Another unique advantage is up to $300 in annual statement credits for Paisly, JetBlue's travel booking platform. This service allows users to book hotels, car rentals, activities, and more, enhancing their overall travel experience. Cardholders may also receive a $50 credit for each qualifying transaction of $250 or more, up to 6 times per calendar year.
The card also retains many benefits already available on other JetBlue credit cards, such as earning 6x points on JetBlue, Paisly, and JetBlue Vacations purchases; 2x points on restaurant and grocery spending; and 1x points on all other purchases. Moreover, cardholders enjoy a free first checked bag on every JetBlue flight, along with 5,000 bonus points awarded on each account anniversary. They also benefit from 10% of redeemed points being credited back after taking a JetBlue award flight and enjoy 50% savings on in-flight food and beverage purchases. Notably, there are no foreign transaction fees, making this card ideal for international travel enthusiasts.

For those seeking convenient parking solutions while traveling, consider exploring cheap parking by airport options through platforms like ParkingNearAirports.io. If you're flying out of JFK, understanding Kennedy Airport long-term parking rates can help you save significantly. For instance, JFK long-term parking rates vary depending on location and amenities, so it pays to compare before booking.
Chris Buckner, JetBlue's vice president of loyalty and partnerships, expressed excitement about the launch:
"Adding products and perks our customers want is a key part of our JetForward plan, and we couldn't be more thrilled to introduce the JetBlue Premier Card. As our first-ever premium credit card, designed with input from our customers and most loyal Mosaic members, it builds on the strengths of our TrueBlue and Mosaic programs to deliver enhanced benefits both on the ground and in the air."
JetBlue's credit card lineup with Barclays includes 3 additional options: the no-annual-fee JetBlue Card, alongside the JetBlue Plus Card and the JetBlue Business Card, both priced at $99 annually. While these alternatives cater well to casual JetBlue travelers, offering many similar benefits at a lower cost, they lack certain premium features like lounge access, the Global Entry/TSA PreCheck application fee credit, and elite status credits as part of the sign-up bonus. Thus, the JetBlue Premier Card stands out as the ultimate choice for discerning travelers seeking elevated experiences.
