Recon Works!
Credit Karma Member

I applied for this card a little over 2wks ago and got a need more time to review response... so I went online to check app status and saw that I was denied due to too many inquires and new acct (I'd just opened a AMEX Blue and Chase Freedom). I understood and walked away. Last night I read online to try the reconsideration line. I called and explain that although I have the new accounts with AMEX & Chase, I opened them to strengthen my credit profile... however, I travel Jetblue all the time!!! I further explained that I have a 100% on time payment history, all accounts are in good standing and that I make sure that my utilization is below 30%. The rep agreed and approved my world mastercard with an initial $3k limit. Hopefully they increase often and the limit will be raised within a few months. I'm just happy to have it as I frequent Jetblue, it will be great to get 3x the points on travel, 2x on groceries ansmd restaurants and 1pt on other purchases... plus the 50% off in flight purchases!!!

Most annoying account I have
Credit Karma Member

I miss my jet blue business amex. I was so disappointed when jet blue amex sold to Barclay. First off, the online platform makes no sense. I asked customer service why my account was partitioned into separate sub accounts, they couldn't answer. One shows $5000 of available credit that I cant access. I asked why do I have this available credit and why give it to me if I cant access it? They flat out told me they have no idea. But thats the lest of my issues. Every month when I go to pay my bill, I have to call them. Not only do you need your username and password, you also need to answer a set of security questions overtime you log in. Many of these questions can have multiple answers so not only do you have to get the right one, you also have to remember if was capitalized, if there was an s at the end, or a space.... if you mess one up more then twice you have to call and wait on hold to reset your account. Well if thats not enough of a pain in the a** , you also have to reset your password every 90 days. I could never keep up on that unless I save a log somewhere with all my updated passwords. No financial account I have anywhere requires that. Maybe if I was a spy I would need that type of security, but Im just an average guy who is not all that paranoid. And lastly, every card I have process a payment either immediately or the next day. The Jet Blue card will take up to a week. A week to process an online payment? in 2016? by the time the payment hits me bank account, I have already forgot about it. Barclay, your Terrible.

High interest
Credit Karma Member

JetBlue, explain to me how how every time I used my credit card, I was being charged 200 + in Interest fees. When I called all they could say to me was “sorry” I should sue this company for their ridiculous high fees.

Marriage to the mob
Credit Karma Member

They lie about the interest fees, turned out I was paying almost 30% APR, my credit line was $5500 paid $5000 to reduce the ridiculous fees I was paying (which was very hard to do, had to borrow the money)once I did that they immediately reduced my credit to $1300, this after the last three horrible years they've been robbing me, WORSE company I ever dealt with, never again.

IF U WANT FRAUD BONUSES THIS IS UR CARD!
Credit Karma Member

I signed up for the JetBlue card under the impression I was getting 80,000 points with the $99 annual fee. When I received the card JetBlue said I didn't sign up for that and that I was only getting 15,000 points (only 5,000 more than the free card). Their customer service had no accountability nor did they fix anything. Now upon researching everyone is saying this happened to them. I'll write about it everyday until someone holds them accountable or they fix their false promising.

JetBlue MasterCard
Credit Karma Member

Absolutely the worst customer service I've had in 35 years of credit card ownership. Every single human I've FINALLY been able to get through to has screwed up - from lying about the interest rate on purchases to messing up balance transfers from the wrong credit card (!!) to randomly disconnecting - repeatedly. Usually you get stuck in a merry go round with the robot answering service. No mistakes are ever fixed; they just shrug and say they can't do anything about it.

SHI$ for cust ervice. Outdated payment opt's.
Credit Karma Member

Absolute garbage! Philippine worthless script reading, hardly literate phone help. Rely's on old-school check payments and a fight to pay them every month otherwise. Three years in a row so far. The phone-help (really no help) has stated the company would correct the issues (for three years running). NOTHING three years later. They are a freaking joke and the time you waste dealing with their out-sourced incompetency will likely exceed what you owe them. GARBAGE. Oh ... and points? Three years later, you might get half-off on a few in-flight drinks.

Horrible
Credit Karma Member

4 years ago I cancelled my membership with Barclay's and they continued to bill me the annual fee until finally they closed my account 5 months later. I had no activity for the 5 months but I am still receiving negative comments on my credit report for late payments. Unable to talk to a credible person as you can only communicate via US mail. What a joke

Horrible Customer Service. Incompetent. Horrible system for disputes, account issues, etc. You have to wait 15 days to dispute a charge and no disputes can be made over the phone. Fax and Mail only! Dumb!

Garbage customer service
Credit Karma Member

Although the perks of free miles is good, and I've gotten a few trips on it, ultimately beware of any purchases using it directly as they offer zero buyer coverage. They claim fraud is ONLY if a card is stolen, not in your possession. I was scammed by an online merchant and Barclays refused to offer coverage, and refused to work with Paypal who in effect said they'd refund me (ie. Barclays then me) if Barclays simply resubmitted a claim properly, which they did not. They wasted my time requesting faxes and submitting documentation and writing PO boxes and never bothered to inform me they made the decision to reject the claims within 24 hours of receiving it. I only found out later when I called them back to confirm. At one point the customer service rep claimed that fraudulent transactions are the jurisdiciton of government regulation and the FBI, and not their responsibility. It's just a lame credit card with high interest but as I said, it does offer decent JetBlue perks which is my airline of choice. Just do not use the card for purchases other than rock solid merchants because you have zero protection. Mastercard itself does offer more actual buyer protections but it's limited.

Poor application process & coordination
Credit Karma Member

Although I already had another Barclays card and a FICO score over 800, they took over a week to approve me for this one. Then it took about another week for it to arrive, so I got it exactly two weeks after applying, which is definitely longer than I recall for other cards. Today, I got an email from them saying that they couldn't link the credit card to my TrueBlue account, even though I provided the account number on the application. So I had to call JetBlue directly to fix this, however they connected me with someone who apparently doesn't actually work at JetBlue and sounded like he was at home. He had to speak with someone at JetBlue while he put me on hold, and then put in an "escalation" to have the accounts linked. I was told that could take anywhere between 14-30 days. Keep in mind, the only reward of this card is TrueBlue points, and yet there is a convoluted process involving a phone call of over 45 minutes (with hold time) leading to an "escalation" in order to set up that basic purpose of this account, hopefully within a month and a half of the application. So clearly there is little to no coordination between Barclays and JetBlue in managing this program.

Great Perks / Base Customer Service
Credit Karma Member

Had the JetBlue Business Card since 4/2016. Amazing perks that is all listed on the website and leverage the Mosaic status. The cons are the customer services and how the entire backend process does not compare to other cards that I have. When making payments over $4,000 it usually takes up to 10 business days to see the available balance reflected even though they clearly debited the bank account in 2-3 business days. Paying under $4,000 will update the available balance within 3 busines days. When adding a bank account for payment, be aware that as of 6/15/2019, they only allow for 16-digits account numbers. If your bank account number is longer, like mine is, you cannot use it. The customer service cannot add the extra digit for you. No Apple Pay integration. Declined on increase request with excellent credit for a $5k increase. I had to call them and ask to speak to a manager in the credit department and get them to overwrite the decline since the low credit line continuously reached peak. I have no issues with Amex, Fidelity and Citi for increases. If you're looking for the latest transactions, it will not immediately show until 5 business days or so. Then there's the customer service reps that are of no guidance, nor help. Last time I had an issue, I was transferred from JetBlue rep to Mastercard rep, to another Mastercard rep, only to be brought back to a JetBlue rep. The question was for JetBlue to answer, not Mastercard itself. You don't have the same negative customer service feel when speaking to an Amex or Citi customer service. If it wasn't for the JetBlue perks (we travel JetBlue often even prior to the Barcley's card), then this would be a showstopper.
