New Barclaycard/TrueBlue credit card Launched
JetBlue and Barlcaycard announced details of their new TrueBlue CC offering this morning, launching a suite of 3 new cards for members to consider. Here are some of the highlights.
The JetBlue Card
The JetBlue Plus Card
The JetBlue Business Card
For a Mosaic customer the 6x additional earn on flights can bring the total to near 20% yield for spend on JetBlue ticket purchases. That's pretty damn nice.
The annual fee is higher for the paid version of the card but the availability of a free version - with Chip + PIN and no f/x - is a great reason to keep that card in your wallet as a backup if nothing else.
Also, because I can, one of the first TV spots you'll see for the card starting on Monday:

Looks like a good offering. Would have been nice to see some points for the annual fee renewal like southwest. I will most likely apply for for this later on this year

Sounds good!
I think all new cards in the US have to be Chip/PIN capable now, so not sure they deserve credit for that.

There is a separate conversion card which will exists; same earn benefits and $40 annual fee. The company expects most will choose to go from that to either the free or the higher priced paid version pretty quickly based on the different/better benefits. Converted customers are not eligible for new sign-up bonuses.

Thanks SBM. Assume you mean not eligible for sign-up bonuses if converting the separate $40 card to one of these options? We will still be able to sign up independently for the other 3 cards and receive the sign-up bonus?

As a BOS flyer who is not very familiar with TrueBlue, I'm tentatively optimistic about the new offers. 30k points is worth something around $400 - $500, right? If the annual fee was waived for the first year, I would definitely apply for this card. I might get it regardless, since the benefits are pretty good.

As a Mosaic, I'll likely get the Plus card.

Yes, a reasonable redemption expectation is 1.4-1.5 cents per point, so your range is accurate. You'll also get 10% points back upon redemption so another $45.
I'm assuming based on the published information and other co-brand Barclays cards, the annual fee will not be waived. That obviously tempers the sign up bonus. The 5k points upon renewal also don't come close to offsetting the annual fee.
