Who Should Get the JetBlue Premier?
The JetBlue Premier fits people who spend most on flights (6x) and dining (2x). Its $499 annual fee makes sense if the $330 a year in credits Creddy lists, plus what you earn, covers it with credits you would use anyway.
Is the JetBlue Premier Worth the $499 Annual Fee?
The JetBlue Premier costs $499 a year. Creddy lists 2 trackable credits worth up to $330 a year if you use every one, which leaves $169 of the fee for rewards and perks to cover. Count only the credits you would use anyway. Credits that need a spending threshold are not counted.
Check enrollment requirements, merchant restrictions, reset timing and the issuer's current terms before applying.
