You can't simply transfer your JetBlue points to somebody else, but you can share your points with any TrueBlue member, which is very similar. By using JetBlue's "Points Pooling" service, you can share your points with up to 7 other TrueBlue members and allow them to redeem.

To add friends and family to your pool, you will need to invite them using their first name and the email address associated with their TrueBlue account. As the pool leader, you can give redemption privileges to any member of your pool. This way, they will be able to use their account to redeem the shared points for flights or vacation packages.

Answer Question

When do JetBlue points expire?

JetBlue points do not expire due to account inactivity. But if you close your JetBlue Credit Card account, you’ll lose any unredeemed points.

What is the JetBlue points value?

JetBlue points are worth 1.08 cent to 1.5 cents when redeemed for airfare. The value of JetBlue points depends on how you redeem them. JetBlue points values also change over time. But you currently need 34,200 JetBlue points for a $485 round-trip flight flight from New York City to Los Angeles – a value of 1.39 cents per point.… read full answer

In general, the number of points needed for a flight fluctuates along with the actual fare price in dollars. JetBlue’s website tells us this straight up, saying, “While redemption levels vary, the amount of points a certain trip requires is directly tied to our current fares, and when flight fares are lower, so are Award Flight point fares.” That means JetBlue point values should remain fairly constant and not spike and crater all the time.

There are a few other key things you should be aware of regarding this frequent flyer program, too. For example, you can’t redeem JetBlue points for things like gift cards, but you can trade them for magazine subscriptions. And that could actually get you some high point values.

What you need to know about JetBlue points values:

The value of a JetBlue point ranges from 1.08 cent to 1.5 cents per point, according to WalletHub research.

A $485 flight from New York to Los Angeles costs 34,200 points, which is about 1.39 cents per point. That’s at the lowest boarding class.

JetBlue points tend to be worth less when redeemed for higher-class seats on the plane.

If you buy certain vacation packages from JetBlue, you may be able to get higher point values than by just booking a flight.

JetBlue points hold their value over time, never expiring due to inactivity.

If you’re looking to earn some extra JetBlue points, consider getting the JetBlue Card. It offers 10,000 points after spending $1,000 in the first 90 days. Based on current JetBlue points values, that’s worth about a third of a cross-country flight.

Plus, the card gives 3 points per $1 spent on JetBlue purchases, 2 points per $1 spent at restaurants and grocery stores, and 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases. And to top it off, there’s no annual fee.

Is it worth buying JetBlue points?

No, it is not worth buying JetBlue points. The price of one JetBlue point is approximately 3.51 cents but one JetBlue point is worth 1.35 points, on average.

However, there are some situations where buying points might make sense. If you want to get an expensive flight or vacation package before you have the required points amount, it might be worth buying them. Or, if you are a Mosaic member you can redeem points for upgrades at a significantly reduced rate, thus increasing point value. … read full answer

But in most cases, buying JetBlue points is not worth it.
