Connor's Recommendation
Frequent Alaska flyers should definitely go for either the personal or business card. For maximized welcome bonus flyers could go for both
Frequent Jet Blue flyers should go for the personal and business. Can always downgrade the personal to the no annual fee card at a later date
Chase, Amex and Citi can transfer points to JetBlue
