Is the Barclays JetBlue Plus Credit Card a Keeper? (Card Art & Features)

Posted on by . 11 Replies

Good morning everyone.  I just wanted to give a quick shout out to everyone who attended the SF Travel Hackers Meetup event last night – congratulations to the winning trivia team, congrats if you won a cool raffle prize (or two), and thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets.  We raised roughly $250 and will use that money to pay meetup.com membership fees and help secure future meetup locations.  Here’s to a great 2017 of travel hacker meetups!

Back to our regularly scheduled post…

During my recent App-O-Rama, I was instantly approved for the Barclays JetBlue Plus Credit Card.  The credit card offers 30,000 JetBlue TrueBlue Points after spending $1,000 in 3 months with a $99 annual fee (not waived).  There is also a Barclays JetBlue Credit Card (no annual fee) and a Barclays JetBlue Business Credit Card available ($99 annual fee, not waived).  I will discuss the features of the Barclays JetBlue Plus Credit Card below and why I think it is a great card to get and keep for a long time.

JetBlue TrueBlue Points Post Almost Instantly for Lyft Airport Rides

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone.  I am channeling my inner Lucky and Ben to post twice in the same day.  I’m exhausted, I don’t think I can keep up with them for much longer.  Anyway, last week, Lyft and JetBlue announced a partnership where you could take Lyft to/from the airport and earn 30 JetBlue TrueBlue points per trip.  Before I go any further, I am required by the blogger code of conduct to insert my Lyft referral link (get $50 in Lyft ride credit).

During my recent weekend trip to Washington, D.C., I flew to IAD and took a Lyft Line to the Marriott Marquis Hotel.  Since the ride was super early, I got the whole Lyft Line to myself.  I got dropped off at the hotel at 6:29am and received an Award Wallet alert that I received 30 JetBlue TrueBlue points at 7:15am (which was 14 minutes faster than the Lyft app).  30 JetBlue TrueBlue points is worth ~60 cents, so the points don’t even offset my tip.

Using Points.com to Exchange JetBlue TrueBlue Miles into Amtrak Guest Reward Points

Posted on by . 13 Replies

Good morning everyone.  In today’s super long/boring post, I will show you how to use Points.com to exchange miles/points from one loyalty program into another loyalty program.  Before I go on, let me explain that Points.com is somewhat similar to Award Wallet because you can add loyalty programs to your account and track their balances.  You may be familiar with Points.com if you have ever looked into buying airline miles or hotel points, since Points.com is the broker for most loyalty programs.  I am not going to talk about buying miles/points today.  Instead, I am going to talk about exchanging miles/points from one loyalty program into another loyalty program.  First things first, you need a free Points.com account and you will need to add your loaylty programs.  Here are a few of my accounts that are currently tracked by Points.com.

#WeekendFillerPost

Good morning everyone, happy Sunday!  I hope your weekend is going well.  I just returned from my JetBlue mileage run from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS) on Saturday.  The flight was only 414 miles, but the day was spent talking miles, points, travel and much more (not to mention eating/drinking our way through several lounges and enjoying inflight snacks).
