The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Hilton Honors Aspire earns about $1,638 a year in rewards and the JetBlue Business Card about $744, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Hilton Honors Aspire charges $550, but carries about $600 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. The JetBlue Business Card charges $99, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Hilton Honors Aspire delivers more total value, about $743 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and advertising. 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 Hilton Honors Aspire 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 Hilton Honors Aspire if your spending leans toward advertising, shipping, office supplies.
