Bilt added JetBlue TrueBlue as a transfer partner on October 20, 2026, at 1 to 1. There's no launch bonus. By our numbers a Bilt Point sent to JetBlue is worth about 1.3 cents, roughly half our default value for a Bilt Point, so it mostly makes sense for a JetBlue flight you'd otherwise buy with cash, and you aren’t saving your Bilt points for anything.
What a TrueBlue point is worth
JetBlue doesn't have an award chart for its own flights. It prices an award seat off the flight's base fare, so the points price moves with the cash price and you can't find a sweet spot on a JetBlue flight that stretches a point further. We value a TrueBlue point at 1.3 cents. That includes Mint, JetBlue's business class: Mint awards are priced off the fare the same way, and published Mint redemption data comes out at or below coach per point.
Because Bilt converts at 1 to 1, a Bilt Point sent to JetBlue is worth the same 1.3 cents. Here's how 10,000 points compare:
| 10,000 Bilt Points | Worth about |
|---|---|
| Sent to JetBlue (1.3 cents a point) | $130 |
| Spent in Bilt's travel portal (1.25 cents a point) | $125 |
| At our default Bilt value (2.51 cents a point) | $251 |
How our Bilt value changed
We count JetBlue as one more place your Bilt Points can go, and that nudged two of our three Bilt values up slightly:
| Value of a Bilt Point | Before October 20 | After |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 1.48 cents | 1.48 cents |
| Balanced (our default) | 2.50 cents | 2.51 cents |
| Aspirational | 3.56 cents | 3.58 cents |
Rounded to a tenth of a cent, nothing changes: the default is still 2.5 cents and the aspirational value 3.6 cents.
When the transfer is worth making
Since a TrueBlue point buys about the same amount of fare on any JetBlue flight, the question is whether you have a better use for the Bilt Points. If you'd otherwise pay cash for a JetBlue ticket and aren't saving for a bigger award, moving points covers the fare at about 1.3 cents each. That's about the same as the 1.25 cents the same points get in Bilt's portal, so check the fare in the portal too. A transfer can also top up a TrueBlue balance that's a few thousand points short of a flight.
If you're saving for a bigger trip, like a Hyatt stay or a business class award on one of Bilt's other airline partners, that's where Bilt Points earn the value we give them.
Before you transfer
Bilt's press release says "Members will need to link their TrueBlue account before their first transfer." Transfers move in 1,000-point steps, with a minimum of 1,000 Bilt Points, or 2,000 if you have Blue Status. Bilt's help page says most transfers are immediate but to "please allow up to 48 hours," and that once points are transferred "they cannot be reversed," so check the flight's price in TrueBlue points on jetblue.com first.
Where these numbers come from
The transfer terms are from Bilt's October 20 press release and its transfer-partner help page. The 1.3-cent TrueBlue value and the Bilt values are ours. You can see how we build them on our methodology page, and the full list of where Bilt Points can go is on our Bilt page.
