The JetBlue Plus is our top pick on the Best Airline Credit Cards list, and its recently raised signup bonus, now 70,000 points after just $1,000 in spending in the first three months, up from 60,000, is a big reason why. That bonus is unusually easy to earn, and the $99 annual fee is offset by practical perks: a free first checked bag for you and up to three companions when you book with the card, 50% off inflight food, drinks, and Wi-Fi, and 5,000 bonus points every anniversary. You earn 6x on JetBlue purchases and 2x on dining and groceries, get 10% of your points back on JetBlue-operated award flights, and can earn a $100 statement credit once a year with a JetBlue Vacations package of $100 or more. The tradeoff is that everything else earns just 1x, so it's not a good card for general spending. Mosaic status after $50,000 in yearly spending is a stretch for most cardholders. For anyone who flies JetBlue a few times a year and checks bags, it's an easy card to keep.
