Domestic flights only, or for re-entry to the US, but according to the State Department:
The U.S. passport book and U.S. passport card are both accepted as ID for domestic flights.
You may not have heard about the U.S. passport card before. The passport card cannot be used for international air travel, but it is still a great ID to have in your wallet.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) accepts the passport card as ID for domestic flights. Use the passport card when entering the United States at land-border crossings and sea ports-of-entry from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Do not use it for international air travel. The passport card only costs $30 for adults if you already have a passport book, and only $65 for first-time adult applicants. The passport card has the same validity as the passport book: If you’re over 16, your passport card is valid for 10 years. If you’re under 16, your passport card is valid for 5 years.

My adult daughter showed up with a passport card once. It was not well received arriving in the BVI. I think the fact I had at least 40 entry stamps in my passport got her through. So it is possible. Probably not smart however.

I don’t want to sound harsh but it is a typical American attitude to presume we can dictate to other countries what they will accept and not accept for travel. The passport is the international agreed standard. TSA can’t change or require anything else. I do however believe all they advertised was that the card would allow admittance back to the US from Caribbean travel, not the inverse.
