» Update
The new and enhanced benefits officially launched on May 5, 2026. Cardholders and future applicants are now eligible to earn them.
The JetBlue Premier Card is getting some welcome upgrades, slated to debut this spring.
Aside from making its annual $300 travel statement credit much easier to use, the card is also adding a companion pass when you spend enough, as well as a higher redemption rebate and a path toward elite status with JetBlue.
The official launch date for the changes is unclear, but the card will retain its $499 annual fee.
Here’s a look at what's coming.

New benefits
The will add the following perks:
- Companion pass statement credits: Cardholders will earn a companion pass (a value of up to $500) after spending $15,000 in a calendar year and earn another companion pass (up to $1,500 value) after $75,000 in annual spending. To qualify, you’ll have to book and pay for your companion’s trip on your reservation and use the pass to receive a statement credit.
- A 25-tile bonus: With JetBlue, you can earn elite "Mosaic" status (at various tiers) by collecting "tiles." So this tile bonus, which cardholders will receive after the beginning of each calendar year, can help unlock various perks that come with that status, such as a free checked bag, a complimentary alcoholic beverage, upgrades, preferred core seating and more.
Enhanced benefits
Some of the card's existing perks are getting upgrades, making them more accessible and flexible than before, and they do not have a spending requirement to earn them.
- TrueBlue Travel statement credit: The JetBlue Premier Card will still offer up to $300 in annual statement credit when using it to book hotels, car rentals, cruises and more via TrueBlue Travel (formerly known as the Paisly portal). But unlike before, that credit will be much easier to use. Currently, it's doled out in $50 increments, and only if you make a booking of at least $250. So to fully use the full $300 credit, you'd need to make six bookings a year and spend at least $1,500. When the changes go into effect, the credit will apply to any eligible TrueBlue Travel purchase, with no minimum amount.
- Redemption rebate: The card will offer a 15% redemption rebate on your TrueBlue points on award flight redemptions for JetBlue or its partner airlines. This is an increase from the existing 10% rate cardholders earn after redeeming points toward a JetBlue award flight. It will also extend to the carrier’s partner airlines.
- Upcoming offers: Through its partnership with ClassPass, JetBlue will offer ClassPass credits in spring 2026. As a cardholder, you'll be able to enroll and receive up to 14 monthly credits to use on fitness classes and wellness experiences at studios, spas, salons, gyms and more nationwide.
Ongoing incentives
The JetBlue Premier Card maintains its ongoing rewards, including 6 points per $1 spent on eligible JetBlue purchases, 2 points per $1 spent at restaurants and eligible grocery stores, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases. There are no blackout dates, and points never expire.
Other perks remaining intact including a free checked bag, Priority Pass lounge access, priority boarding and an anniversary points boost, to name a few. You’ll also receive access to BlueHouse, JetBlue’s branded lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport, as well as access to the upcoming location scheduled to open this year at Boston Logan International Airport.
