The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Ink Business Unlimited® earns about $675 a year in rewards and the JetBlue Premier about $474, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Ink Business Unlimited® has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. The JetBlue Premier charges $499, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Ink Business Unlimited® delivers more total value, about $700 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and advertising. The bigger difference is the ceiling: the Ink Business Unlimited® earns points you can move to travel partners for outsized value, while the JetBlue Premier stays locked to a single airline or hotel program. Favor the Ink Business Unlimited® if you will use travel transfers, the JetBlue Premier if you want simplicity. On the sign-up bonus, the two are currently comparable in size. Note that Ink Business Unlimited® and JetBlue Premier are running a limited-time offer above the usual amount, so that edge may not last. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the Ink Business Unlimited® if your spending leans toward advertising, shipping, office supplies.
