Our Verdict
The 80k offer from last year was better due to lower spend requirement, and then we also had the 100k point bonus back in 2021. But this 80k offer is an overall a solid bonus and could be worth doing.
There’s also a similar offer on the JetBlue business card. We’ll add these both to our list of Best Current Credit Card Signup Bonuses. Check out these Things To Know About Barclay’s Credit Cards before applying.
I a month ago applied for the Hawaiian Airlines® Credit Card also from Barclays, but was not approved, because “The number of bankcards opened within the last 24 months”. Any chance for this Jetblue card?
Were you at 6/24?
No, only 4 cards.
FYI if u care about the premier:
T&Cs used to say:
“Cardmembers who currently have or previously had a JetBlue Plus Card are not eligible for this offer.”
but now it says:
“You may not be eligible for this offer if you currently have or previously had an account with us in this program.”
then in a different T&C section:
“These bonuses and/or incentives are intended for applicants who are not and have not previously been JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard cardmembers. You understand and agree that you may no longer be eligible for any bonuses and/or incentives in connection with a new JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard Card Account after this Card Account is opened.
If you receive a bonus or incentive for which you are not eligible due to your status as a current or former JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard cardmember, we may revoke the bonus or incentive, or reduce your TrueBlue points by the amount of the bonus or incentive or charge your Card Account for the fair value of the bonus or incentive, at our sole discretion.”
so who knows wtf is going on.
and PC this plus card is also a headache since its YMMV.
It would be better if the first year annual fee was waived, like previous offers.
If you just opened one in the past few weeks, would they honor the higher bonus if you ask?
Just tried. They shot me down after verifying I’d opened the Plus card < 30 days ago. They did offer 5,000 points as a consolation / courtesy. 🙂
Same offer just presented and accepted after about a 15 min wait.
Dear Chuck, $6,000 less $1,000 spend is not
(extra $4,000 spend)
The business card is $2,000 then $6,000, so it’s a $4,000 net spend. Just missed needing to update the copy/paste for this personal card. Cut him a break. They provide a valuable service with this site.
Two options: he either says something and helps future readers better understand the offer or he doesnt say anything. You want the latter? Pretty sure Doc & Chuck appreciate kind help
He should absolutely say something. Just doesn’t need to be a dick about it is all.
Virtue signal much? The only dick here is you.
Chuck corrected his mistake hours ago and even wrote “thanks” for pointing out the correction, so there is no need for you to be outraged on his behalf.
Everyone else has already moved on, so maybe you should do the same.
Can you both please put your dicks away?
Too many dicks on the dance floor…
What a snowflake reaction. Will and Chuck revise typos all the time and do not need you to defend them.
Good to know that being a dick to Chuck and Will is the preferred method and any other approach should be considered being a snowflake.
Fixed, thanks
So, there is talk of jetBlue opening a lounge at JFK T5/6 (whenever the construction is complete); anyone know anything about that?
