Travelers on JetBlue can maximize flexibility by combining points, credits, and payment options. Whether you’re looking to upgrade, use Travel Bank credits, or transfer AmEx rewards, here’s how it all works.
💳 AmEx & JetBlue
If you have American Express Membership Rewards, you can transfer them to JetBlue TrueBlue at a rate of 250 AmEx points = 200 TrueBlue points. Transfers are usually instant, so you can quickly top up for a redemption. Occasionally, AmEx offers bonus promotions (20–25%), giving you better value.
💵 Payments & Financing
Booking a flight on JetBlue.com allows you to pay with major credit/debit cards, Travel Bank credits, or points. JetBlue also partners with financing services like Affirm or Uplift (on JetBlue Vacations packages), giving customers the option to spread payments into manageable installments.
💵 Using JetBlue Credits
When you cancel or modify a JetBlue flight, the value is stored as a Travel Bank credit. Here’s what you need to know:
🎯 Redeeming JetBlue Points
TrueBlue points can be redeemed directly at checkout by selecting “Use TrueBlue Points” when searching for flights. Redemption is revenue-based, meaning the number of points required fluctuates with cash fares. Mint business-class flights and transatlantic routes often provide some of the best redemption value.
