Jetblue Business Amex
Jetblue Consumer Amex

I ranked the Jetblue card as follows in the following categories:
Best Credit Cards To Use And Spend To Earn Miles: #5 and #6.
Best Credit Cards To Have For Miscellaneous Benefits: #6 and #7.
Credit Cards Good For A One-Time Bonus: #5 and #6.

Key facts:
-Signup Bonus: 25 Trueblue points and $50 credit for the business card and 25 Trueblue points for the consumer card.
-Annual fee: Business and Consumer-$40 yearly.
-Signup Bonus Earned: After first purchase.
-Maximum points that can be earned in 1 year from spending: Unlimited.
Maximum Number Of Times The Signup Bonus Can Be Earned: One Consumer bonus and one business bonus.
Minimum Wait Time Between Applying For The Consumer And Business Card: None, you can apply for both on the same day.
Jetblue’s Convoluted points system: 200 Amex points=1 Trueblue point. 100 Trueblue points=1 Free ticket. So 20,000 Amex points=1 Free ticket.
Consumer Card Points Earning: Earn 2 amex points per dollar spent at restaurants, movie theaters, sporting events, golf courses, arts events, gym memberships, and on jetblue. Earn 1 Amex point per dollar spent elsewhere.
Business Card Points Earning: Earn 2 amex points per dollar spent on wireless telephone services, car rentals, gasoline, office supplies, and on jetblue. Earn 1 Amex point per dollar spent elsewhere. Get a 5% Cash rebate in addition to points for spending with ATT, Fedex, Hertz, and Jetblue, get a 3% cash rebate in addition to points for spending with Delta.

Reason for the being ranked #5 and #6 in “Cards To Use And Spend To Earn Miles” category :
Better earning than the Starwood card in the double miles categories.

Reasons for the #5 and #6 ranking in “Miscellaneous Benefits” category:
-Jetblue points normally expire 12 months from the date of earning. However when you have either Amex card as long as you earn 1 trueblue point a year your entire Trueblue points balance will never expire!
-On the business card you save 5% on all Jetblue ticket purchases.

Reason for being #5 and #6 in the “Credit Cards Good For A One-Time Bonus” category:
-It’s one of the weakest signup bonuses in the industry, and you can only get it once.

Summary:
This card (especially the business card) is an absolute must-have for all Jetblue flyers.
Although you dont get much of a signup bonus, the 5% discount(business card only) and the never-expiring Trueblue points benefit(both cards) easily covers the annual fee. Plus the business card comes with a $50 signup bonus which more than covers the annual fee.
