Real-World Insights
“In order to apply Move to Mint, you must first book a Blue fare flight… My son was on my reservation… I cancelled and rebooked to apply the certificates.

AmEx Membership Rewards → TrueBlue Transfers
You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards to JetBlue TrueBlue at a 250:200 ratio (i.e., 1,000 MR points = 800 TrueBlue points). Transfers are usually instant.
There’s a small Excise Tax Offset Fee—$0.0006 per point (so approximately $0.60 per 1,000 points), capped at $99.
Bonus Opportunities
Occasionally, AmEx offers a 25% transfer bonus to JetBlue, improving the ratio to 250:250. This rare offer (last seen in late 2024) boosts value significantly when you're topping off for a redemption.
