The Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® charges $99, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The JetBlue Business Card charges $99, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the JetBlue Business Card delivers more total value, about $252 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on travel and office supplies. 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 two are currently comparable in size. Note that Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® is running a limited-time offer above the usual amount, so that edge may not last.
