Limited-Time Only: Transfer Amex Points to JetBlue With a 25% Bonus
For a limited time only, American Express is offering a 25% bonus when you transfer Membership Rewards to JetBlue's TrueBlue program. Through November 30, 2017, you can transfer your Membership Rewards points to JetBlue at a rate of 250:250 — or 1:1.
To take advantage of the offer, log in to your Amex account and head to the transfer points section of the Membership Rewards page. Ensure that your Amex and JetBlue accounts are linked, and initiate a transfer. Keep in mind that according to the terms and conditions, transfers must be in increments of 250 points and there's a minimum transfer of 250 points.
As always, we never recommend transferring points speculatively — no matter the program. Once your points have been transferred to a program, there's no reversing that decision in order to get them back. However, if you're sitting on a large stash of Amex Membership Rewards points and have some upcoming travel that you could book with JetBlue, this 25% bonus makes now a good time to initiate a transfer.
Keep in mind that JetBlue's TrueBlue program is revenue-based, so the amount of points needed for a redemption depends on the ticket's cash price. At best, you'll be getting a 1:1 ratio on your Membership Rewards to TrueBlue transfer. Even with this 25% transfer bonus, there may be better uses for your Amex points — they're worth 1.9 cents each compared to TrueBlue's 1.3 cents apiece according to TPG's latest valuations.
If you're interested in taking advantage of this transfer bonus, keep in mind that you must do so by November 30, 2017, at 12:00am MT (December 1 at 2:00am ET).
