Banco Popular, JetBlue and Mastercard have launched the new JetBlue Business Mastercard® — a credit card for commercial clients in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in the small and midsize business segment. This is the first Mastercard product for this segment to include JetBlue’s TrueBlue rewards program.
The card provides benefits such as TrueBlue points for each $1 on purchases: three points for JetBlue purchases, two for hotel purchases and one point for all other purchases. It also offers one free checked bag for the primary cardmember and up to three companions and 50% off on JetBlue food and beverage inflight purchases. Additionally, it offers 30,000 TrueBlue welcome points after $5,000 in purchases within the first 90 days of account opening.
“The JetBlue Business Mastercard® has been designed specifically for small business owners. This new product not only provides access to a wide range of benefits, but it also reflects our commitment to supporting businesses in their growth and success. Plus, it brings together three leading brands in the region to offer a unique travel product.
“Putting people at the center of progress is our common purpose, and that is why we always look for products and services that can translate into significant benefits,” said Solimar Cedeño, senior vice president of the Credit Cards Division at Banco Popular.
“The new JetBlue Business Mastercard® demonstrates our commitment to continue growing and delivering innovative products and programs in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where JetBlue is proud to serve,” said Chris Buckner, vice president of Loyalty & Partnerships at JetBlue. “In partnership with Banco Popular and Mastercard, we want to reward small and midsize business owners and our loyal customers in the region and provide them with added value and flexibility to earn points on their everyday purchases. With each purchase, cardmembers are one step closer to traveling to the more than 100 destinations we serve.”
“For over 50 years, Mastercard has collaborated with Small/ Midsize Enterprises (SME), providing needs-based solutions that allow business owners to focus on what truly matters. In partnership with JetBlue and Banco Popular, we continue to support SMEs in Puerto Rico through solutions that deliver a trusted, convenient and reliable payment experience,” said Pablo Cuaron, country manager for Puerto Rico at Mastercard.
With this launch, the JetBlue Business Mastercard® is the only local commercial credit card to offer travel benefits.
The JetBlue Business Mastercard® has an annual fee of $99 and no fee for additional cards. Other exclusive benefits include travel cancellation and delay insurance, access to over 1,000 VIP airport lounges worldwide through the Mastercard Airport Experience, identity theft resolution services, 24/7 customer service assistance for lost and stolen card reports, as well as access to Mastercard Easy Savings, which is an automatic rebate program that allows participating merchants to provide rebates to eligible Mastercard small business cardholders.
