American Express Co, which said on Thursday that its credit card partnership with Costco Wholesale Corp would end next year, is also ending its co-branded card deal with JetBlue Airways Corp, according to a published report. Bloomberg, citing people with knowledge of the matter, said on Friday that JetBlue has reached a new deal with Barclays Plc and Mastercard Inc.
Representatives of American Express, Jet Blue and Barclays declined to comment on the report. A Mastercard spokesman was not immediately available. American Express shares fell more than 9 percent on Thursday and Friday following its disclosure of the lost Costco business.
