I currently have more than 20 different travel rewards credit cards<\/a>. Some of these are great for everyday spending, while others offer valuable perks that can make my travel experience less costly or more comfortable \u2014 or both. Most carry annual fees, including some hefty ones. Every time one comes up for renewal, I crunch the numbers and make sure it’s worth keeping the card<\/a> for another year.<\/p>\n

One card that has made the cut for several years now is the JetBlue Plus Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s why I continue to carry this card in my wallet \u2014 even though I only take a handful of JetBlue flights each year.<\/p>\n

The information for the JetBlue Plus Card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why I first got the JetBlue Plus Card<\/h2>\n

Barclays first introduced three new JetBlue credit cards back in March 2016, and I quickly jumped on the opportunity to make my travels with the carrier even more rewarding.<\/p>\n

I live in South Florida, about halfway between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), two airports with significant JetBlue operations. The carrier also flies to several cities out of Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), which is my closest departure gateway.<\/p>\n

But JetBlue is appealing for a number of other reasons, too. I love the ability to pool points with my wife and daughter<\/a>. Plus, the inflight experience for our frequent hops to the New York area is solid \u2014 including free Wi-Fi, unlimited snacks and complimentary DirecTV.<\/p>\n

We also get to use the fantastic Sapphire Lounge<\/a> at New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) whenever we fly home, thanks to my Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I even tried JetBlue Mint<\/a> for the first time last year, and it was terrific. I’m still hoping to snag a good price on a Mint flight to Europe, as JetBlue now serves six destinations from the East Coast. And there’s a lot more to come \u2014 including the airline’s first-ever airport lounges<\/a> and a new domestic first class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why I’m keeping the JetBlue Plus Card<\/h2>\n

The $99 annual fee on my JetBlue Plus Card just posted, so I analyzed the previous year of card membership to see just how much value I got from the card. Ultimately, I wanted to see if the card should stay in my wallet.<\/p>\n
