About jetBlue trueBlue
TrueBlue points are fairly new to this whole points and miles world. They're usually looked at for domestic use, where they'll give you the absolute best value. JetBlue is one of the cheaper options when paying out of pocket, which actually works out well because the program is revenue-based. That means the award redemption is linked to the cost of a ticket, making it one of the easier ones to comprehend.
TrueBlue points can be accumulated pretty easily because there are a few JetBlue branded credit cards. You also can transfer Chase’s Ultimate rewards, Citi ThankYou points and Amex Rewards at a 1:1 ratio -- plus Capital One Miles at 2:1. Points Pooling is another thing people love about TrueBlue points. You can pool up to 6 other members' points to accumulate points faster.
TrueBlue points are only applicable for JetBlue operated flights and Hawaiian Airlines. You pay a flat $5.60 in taxes for domestic travel. If you decide to go international, taxes can vary a little, but everything will be upfront when you go to book. All flights offer entertainment, free wi-fi, free snacks and more leg room, even in economy. If you favor domestic travel and live near a JetBlue hub, these are super points to collect because they never expire.
