The verdict
On a typical year of household spending, the United℠ Club earns about $340 a year in rewards and the JetBlue Plus about $382, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The United℠ Club charges $695, but carries about $750 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. 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 JetBlue Plus delivers more total value, about $313 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on groceries. 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 United℠ Club currently has the larger welcome offer. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the United℠ Club if your spending leans toward travel. Pick the JetBlue Plus if your spending leans toward groceries.
