Barclays JetBlue Survey Sent Out – New High Tier Business Card?

Card issuers and co-branded partners periodically sent out surveys to existing cardholders to gauge their interest in new cards and changes to existing cards. It looks like Barclays/JetBlue is considering a high tier business card.

 

It’s interesting that the card would offer Jetblue shares as a benefit. Other people saw buy one, get one free on mint class fares.

I got this email and can confirm I saw a BOGO on Mint fares as well as the $299 card.

If Barclays keeps reporting business accounts to credit agencies then this is a no go for me.

10 Shares of JetBlue stock (at today’s valuation) = $161.90

With a $299 AF, you probably only come out a little ahead if you also value the JB Vacations/Paisly credit at close to the $150 amount…unless you assign a lot of value to the other perks and multipliers. Doesn’t seem like such a great deal to me unless JetBlue shares increase a lot in value.

I also wonder if there are any restrictions on trading those shares…

Seems like a yearly BOGO on Mint class fares could be more valuable to a lot of people than the shares – especially if you can purchase the first ticket with points.

“Doesn’t seem like such a great deal to me unless JetBlue shares increase a lot in value.”

At which point they’ll most likely nerf the shares benefit.
