Our verdict
When the card launched I thought the benefits looked easy and noticed it could give access to JetBlue hangs out when they take off. The redemption discount and travel credits go some way to offsetting the annual fee and it’s definitely a better value proposition than before. Hopefully we’ll see a bigger signup bonus soon – though it’s increased to 80,000 points (70,000 at launch).
