Barclays has increased the offer on the JetBlue Business credit card to 50,000 TrueBlue points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first 90 days. That’s a valuable offer for JetBlue flyers that is augmented by the 10% rebate on award flights.

Quick Thoughts
This is a nice offer for those who fly JetBlue. TrueBlue points have a somewhat variable value, but are generally worth just under 1.5c each. That makes this bonus worth somewhere between $700-$750 in JetBlue flights, which is a terrific return for only $1,000 in spend required. Further, since cardholders receive a 10% rebate on points used for award bookings, you can actually expect to stretch that a bit further as you’ll receive 10% back each time. You could definitely get north of $800 in value towards flights.
All of the recent reports we have received indicate that Barclays business cards will most likely not count against your 5/24 count, making this a potentially good offer for those trying to get or stay under Chase’s 5/24 rule, though note that Barcaly’s business approvals tend to be a little tougher than some other issuers.
Still, if you’re located near an airport served by JetBlue, this is an offer worth considering.

Quick question on the 10% rebate. Since my husband and I pool our points will he get 10% back for booking reservations on both of us or just his portion ? Besides the sign-up bonus is there a reason for me to have the JetBlue business card as well as him ? Thank you 🙂

Can’t believe I pushed that button so fast…
does Barc match better offers? just applied last week for the 40k offer
“They will usually match a higher sign up bonus as long as you request the match within 30 days of account opening. It’s always worth a call though even if you’re outside this 30 day period.” Per DoC
Does this card count towards Chase’s 5/24?
