How Much Are My JetBlue TrueBlue Points Worth?

JetBlue TrueBlue points are worth 1.4 cents each, according to NerdWallet's analysis, making them among some of the most valuable airline miles.

However, there's a caveat: The JetBlue TrueBlue program offers a relatively simple redemption structure, where the cost to book a JetBlue flight on points is largely tied to the cash price. Typically, if the cash fare is cheap, the price in TrueBlue points should also be cheap. While that's great for understanding the value of your points, it also means there aren't as many redemptions where you can get outsized value, such as with other airline miles.

NerdWallet's valuation of points and miles is based on real-world data for hundreds of economy routes, not a maximized value. In other words, you can expect to get 1.4 cents per JetBlue point when booking an award flight in economy on the airline. That said, you can sometimes get even more value out of your points by optimizing JetBlue sweet spots.

How flexible are JetBlue points?

Although JetBlue isn't part of an airline alliance, it has forged partnerships with other airlines to allow passengers to earn and redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points on those partners. (Keep in mind that depending on the JetBlue airline partner, you can either earn, redeem, or earn and redeem your points.)

Some of its earn-and-redeem partners include Condor, Etihad Airways, Hawaiian Airlines, Icelandair and Qatar Airways. Later in 2025, JetBlue and United Airlines are expected to launch their Blue Sky partnership, allowing TrueBlue members to earn and redeem points on United flights.

JetBlue's earn-only partners include JSX, Singapore Airlines and South African Airways, while you can only redeem JetBlue points for flights on Japan Airlines.

If you don't have enough TrueBlue points for an award redemption, you can also use a combination of cash and points to book flights on JetBlue.

How did we determine value?

We collected hundreds of data points comparing the cash value to award (point) value for the same routes and dates. That is, we compared the cost of a given ticket in either cash or points, across many tickets.

This method differs from others in that it looks at actual redemptions rather than "maximized" redemptions. The advantage of this approach is that it provides a real-world indication of how much these points are worth, on average. That said, it doesn’t factor in "high value" redemptions.
