JetBlue regulars who check bags should look here first: the free first checked bag for you and everyone on your reservation plus 6x on JetBlue purchases can clear the $99 fee fast, and the 10%-of-points-back-each-year perk quietly tops up your balance. It's a one-airline card, though, so the 2x on restaurants and groceries and 1x elsewhere won't impress as an everyday earner. Skip it if you don't fly JetBlue or rarely check a bag. A family of four checking bags on one round trip can save roughly $140-$160, more than the fee in a single trip; confirm the current bonus and the Mosaic status path on Barclays' site.
