Updated: February 11, 2025 | Credit Card Review The JetBlue Premier Card is a crappy card, in my honest opinion. The $499 annual fee is huge in proportion to the almost zero benefits you get. Most benefits the card has are copy-paste from the JetBlue Plus $99 card. And even the ones that are unique to this card, such as lounge access, Priority Pass, a Paisly credit, Global Entry & TSA PreCheck, and priority boarding, don't make up anywhere close to enough in value to justify the cost of this card.
- Credit: Good credit needed
- Barclays will not approve you for their business cards if you have opened 6 or more credit cards within the past 24 months.
- Double-dipping: Barclays may not approve you for a credit card that you’ve already had in the past (and closed, for whatever reason).
Apply for three cards: If you apply for one Barclays card and get approved, it is recommended to apply for another two cards since Barclays is very good about approving for three cards, even within the same day. You might have to call the reconsideration department to push for the second and third cards to get approved.
- Use your Barclays card often: If you do not use your open Barclays cards often, then Barclays may hesitate to approve you for a new one
- Credit bureau: Barclays Bank will usually pull your Transunion credit report (if you freeze Transunion then Barclays will pull your Experian credit report)
- Combining same-day credit inquiries: Many data points suggest that credit inquiries for same-day applications will be combined
- Check application status: You can check your application status here
- Reconsideration: If declined you can call 1 866 408 4064 to be reconsidered
Quickest way to get my card: You can add your card to your mobile wallet immediately upon approval. Also, you can request during the credit card application for your physical card to be expedited overnight via FedEx for a $15 fee.
