Where are you folks getting this information? I can't find it anywhere on the web, other than here.

Is that seriously the design of the card? I hope nobody get's a seizure from staring at it.

I guess I don't know how to value Jet Blue points. It looks like it isn't going to offer stuff like free checked bag or companion ticket like the Virgin America card offers for $49. I guess my initial reaction is that it's not that enticing, but a nice sign-on bonus would be cool.

Thanks for the update! I am waiting for them to open this card so I can come out of the garden and app then go back to the garden.

Well I was really looking forward to this card, but for what you get, and the annual fee, its just not worth it for me. I was hoping for free checked bag, or even more space seat etc etc.

This is going to be a pass for me

Idk, I kinda like the design tbh, lol

All of the details about the card sound wonderful, but alas, I will never app for any card that has an AF. Now if they had an AF-free version of the card, that would be a different story...

Any idea what the CL will be for existing AMex Jetblue card holders?

The circular I was sent said that the credit limit will be the same.
