JetBlue Premier Mastercard gains companion passes, travel credits and a points rebate
Barclays and JetBlue say the $499-fee JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard now offers passes tied to yearly spending, plus credits for travel and ClassPass, and lounge entry.
On May 5, 2026, JetBlue and Barclays US Consumer Bank said the JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard has received a wider benefits package. Its fee is unchanged at $499 for the main account holder, with an additional $150 charged for every authorized user.
Yearly purchases now earn companion passes. Reaching $15,000 within a calendar year earns a pass valued at up to $500, and reaching $75,000 earns a second one valued at up to $1,500. Each January, the card also credits 25 tiles, which JetBlue describes as halfway to Mosaic 1 status. Anyone who redeems TrueBlue points on award flights, whether with JetBlue or a partner airline, gets 15% of those points back.
Up to $300 per year in statement credits is available for TrueBlue Travel bookings of $1 or more, such as hotels, rental cars and cruises. Account holders may sign up for 14 ClassPass credits each month to use on fitness and wellness reservations. Those traveling on qualifying fares may bring one guest into JetBlue's BlueHouse lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. A second BlueHouse, in Terminal C at Boston Logan, was scheduled to open in summer.
Newly approved applicants can collect 100,000 TrueBlue points by putting $5,000 in purchases on the card and settling the first annual fee within three months. The announcement further names Priority Pass Select membership, a reimbursement for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, and Group 3 boarding among the card's perks.
