FYI, I was able to put the charges of a previously booked reservation on my new JetBlue card.
For anyone who needs to book a flight now but doesn't have the card yet, I suggest just paying with some other credit card and change the payment method later by phone.

Yep
Doubt it's different with Barclays but I could with AMEX. On approval they give you card number with temporary CID that allowed me to book. As I was able to do same with Barclays Apple card, I imagine they do with the B6 card

Unfortunately, for the JetBlue card, Barclays does not give an option for a temporary number that can be issued immediately. But as OP pointed out, you can get the physical card expedited (for a fee).

i just applied for this card and was approved - I called customer service to expedite the card and they said they couldn’t. Anyone know how I can switch shipping? I have flights to book and thought I’d be able to use it immediately

I was told the same thing. Asked to speak to a manager and it was expedited for $15 next day. It's explicitly in their Terms before applying for the card. The wordings are wonky though.
