JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU) also is soliciting bids to replace American Express as its credit-card partner, two people briefed on the matter said last month. That could result in a deal with a different network to process transactions, as well as a new card-issuing bank, one of the people said. AmEx may be among bidders, another person said.

Why not? Costco in Canada now accepts all MasterCard cards. What's the big deal?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Oh, I  guess I misunderstood it, I thought that they only accept Capital One MCs. If its now all MCs its actually better.
