“JetBlue is committed to finding new and innovative ways to offer our customers more ways to save and partnering with American Express will enable us to do just that,” said David Neeleman, JetBlue's CEO. “JetBlue saw immediate success with its relationship with Membership Rewards and now we can expand beyond that success with the new JetBlue Card from American Express.”

“Our partnership with JetBlue is another way we can offer consumers rewards products to fit their lifestyle with brands that have their loyalty” said Al Kelly, Group President U.S. Consumer and Small Business Services, at American Express. “JetBlue is one of America's fastest growing, most innovative airlines, and its commitment to quality customer service is a perfect complement to the American Express brand and the high-quality standards we have delivered to our customers for 155 years. Consumers value choice, and our new JetBlue Card will give JetBlue flyers the best of both brands.”

The JetBlue Card from American Express will allow Cardmembers to earn Award Dollars that can be converted to TrueBlue points redeemable for JetBlue flights. The Card will come with a low annual fee, a competitive interest rate and offer lots of ways to earn Award Dollars for spending in a variety of lifestyle and entertainment categories, providing consumers with the retail, travel services and benefits that they have come to expect from American Express. Consumers can sign up or “pre-board” to receive more information about the Card, when it's available later this summer, by going to www.jetbluecard.com and providing their e-mail address. JetBlue's TrueBlue members will be the first to receive Card details and an application.

JetBlue has accepted American Express® Cards since its launch in 2000. In December 2004, American Express added JetBlue to its Membership Rewards program for enrolled Cardmembers to transfer points directly into TrueBlue for travel with the airline. The partnership between JetBlue's TrueBlue flight gratitude program and American Express' Membership Rewards program exceeded the one-year goal within the first three months.
