The verdict
On a typical year of household spending, the IHG One Rewards Premier earns about $1,014 a year in rewards and the JetBlue Plus about $382, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The IHG One Rewards Premier charges $99, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The JetBlue Plus charges $99, but carries about $100 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the IHG One Rewards Premier delivers more total value, about $582 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and dining. Neither leans on transferable points, so the deciding factors are the welcome offer, the card network, and which everyday perks you will actually use. On the sign-up bonus, the IHG One Rewards Premier currently has the larger welcome offer. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the IHG One Rewards Premier if your spending leans toward dining, groceries, gas.
