The Highlights
JetBlue is particularly attractive if you live in New York City and it’s a convenient hub to your frequent destinations.
- More limited routes that all run through one hub make it a less attractive utility airline option than American or Southwest.
- Points are relatively easy to collect with good transfer options and a nice airline. We just hate layovers.
What to Know About This Point System
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.
How to Redeem
Redeem for Airfare
Booking flights is the best way to redeem your TrueBlue points and get the most value out of them. Traditional sweet spots are harder to find because JetBlue award prices are tied directly to dynamically priced cash fares. You can still find good sweet spot options with partner airlines, and JetBlue’s Mint first class remains a popular premium redemption.
Searching for reward flights is simple. Use these tools to find the best pricing:
- Enter your trip details and select “Use TrueBlue points”
- View results by month to compare award prices
Redeeming your miles on JetBlue flights usually gets you around a 1.3 cent per point redemption. If you hold the JetBlue Plus or JetBlue Business card, you’ll receive a 10% rebate on points redeemed for JetBlue-operated flights, which improves the value. The best sweet spots tend to be with partner airlines, even though JetBlue doesn’t publish partner award charts. Make sure to review our favorite partner sweet spot redemptions.
Redeem for Hotels, Cars, and Vacation Packages
You can also redeem points for:
- Hotel stays
- Rental cars
- Activities
- Vacation packages
These redemptions are booked through trueBlue Travel, JetBlue’s travel portal, and typically return about 1 cent per point. Because of this, booking airfare generally provides the best value.

Status Levels Explained
There are 4 levels of Mosaic for those looking to earn status with JetBlue. Each level offers unique benefits and perks. JetBlue uses Tiles to determine status qualifications through spending on JetBlue flights and with JetBlue co-branded credit cards.
Tiles are JetBlue’s qualifying points. You earn 1 Tile for every $100 spent on JetBlue flights, vacations, or travel booked through TrueBlue Travel. You also earn 1 Tile for every $1,000 spent on a JetBlue credit card. You are allowed to double dip when paying for a JetBlue flight with a JetBlue credit card.
What to Know Before Canceling
TrueBlue points don’t expire, and since any points earned from a co-branded credit card are tied directly to your TrueBlue account, there’s no downside to canceling a card. You won’t need to move your points anywhere, because they’ll already be safely in your TrueBlue account.
