The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business earns about $546 a year in rewards and the JetBlue Plus about $474, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business charges $550, 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 JetBlue Plus delivers more total value, about $429 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it carries more in annual statement credits. 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 Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business currently has the larger welcome offer (a limited-time offer above its usual amount, so treat it as a one-time boost). A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business if your spending leans toward travel.
