JetBlue and Barclays Unveil Premier Card Offering Exclusive Travel Benefits
4 February 2025
JetBlue, known for its customer-focused travel experience, has teamed up with Barclays US Consumer Bank to introduce the JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard®. This new premium credit card is designed to offer high-value perks to frequent flyers and everyday shoppers, enhancing the overall JetBlue travel experience.
The card aims to provide exclusive benefits, including complimentary lounge access and priority boarding, for those looking to maximize their travel rewards. This partnership strengthens JetBlue’s TrueBlue loyalty program while expanding Barclays’ portfolio of premium travel credit cards.
JetBlue has built a reputation for delivering an exceptional travel experience through affordable fares, comfortable seating, and excellent service. Its TrueBlue loyalty program rewards customers with points that can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, and other benefits. Barclays US Consumer Bank specializes in co-branded credit cards, offering financial products in collaboration with leading travel and retail brands.
The JetBlue Premier Card comes with a limited-time welcome offer: 70,000 TrueBlue points and five tiles toward Mosaic qualification when cardholders spend $5,000 within the first three months. This fast tracks members to Mosaic status, which unlocks perks such as EvenMore® upgrades and additional free checked bags.
With an annual fee of $499, and $150 for each authorized user, the card offers a range of exclusive travel perks, including complimentary access to JetBlue lounges at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Terminal 5 (launching in late 2025) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) Terminal C. Cardholders will also enjoy access to more than 1,500 Priority Pass™ lounges globally, as well as lifestyle benefits like Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® fee credits, priority boarding on JetBlue flights, and up to $300 in annual statement credits for Paisly® travel purchases.
The Premier Card enables cardholders to earn rewards quickly with a points system that provides 6x points per $1 spent on eligible JetBlue and Paisly purchases, 2x points at restaurants and grocery stores, and 1x point on all other purchases. Additionally, cardholders will receive 5,000 bonus points each year on their account anniversary, along with a 10% bonus when redeeming points for JetBlue Award Flights.
Chris Buckner, JetBlue’s Vice President of Loyalty and Partnerships, commented, “The JetBlue Premier Card is a key part of our JetForward plan, and we’re excited to introduce it as our first-ever premium credit card. Designed with feedback from our loyal Mosaic members, it enhances the benefits of our TrueBlue and Mosaic programs, offering more value both on the ground and in the air. With features that rival other top-tier travel cards, the Premier Card gives JetBlue fans even more reasons to enjoy our award-winning service while earning extra points and exclusive benefits before takeoff.”
Tim Mills, Head of JetBlue Partnerships at Barclays US Consumer Bank, added, “We’re thrilled to introduce the JetBlue Premier Card, marking a major milestone in our decade-long partnership with JetBlue. This new card responds to the growing demand for premium benefits and experiences, continuing our commitment to delivering exceptional value and service to JetBlue’s loyal customers.”
In addition to travel perks, cardholders also enjoy World Elite Mastercard services, including 24/7 concierge service, travel assistance, trip cancellation coverage, and exclusive lifestyle savings, providing added convenience and security for both travelers and everyday spenders.
