Both JetBlue credit cards offer valuable rewards.
But if you want more perks with this airline, you’ll need to get the card with the annual fee.
What to consider when applying for airline credit cards
If you’re thinking about getting an airline credit card, focus on which airline you fly the most. The card can make it easier to rack up points or miles with that airline, giving you more chances to earn free flights.
Another factor to consider is flight access. For example, JetBlue has a large footprint in the eastern U.S. and the Caribbean but is not as prevalent in the midwestern and western U.S.
Finally, consider whether the airline has any partnerships with other airlines. United Airlines, for instance, is a member of the Star Alliance, which also includes several international airlines like Air Canada, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines. If you have United miles, you could book flights on any of these partner airlines through United’s website.
