Can you transfer Chase points to JetBlue?
Yes, if you have certain Chase cards that earn Ultimate Rewards points, you can transfer them to your JetBlue TrueBlue account. Those cards include the following:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ (see rates and fees)
- Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card
However, if you also have another Chase card that earns Ultimate Rewards points in the form of cash back, such as the Chase Freedom Flex® (see rates and fees) or Chase Freedom Unlimited® (see rates and fees), you can combine the points you earn with it with your credit card account that earns fully transferable Ultimate Rewards points and then transfer them that way.
The information for the Ink Business Preferred has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

Chase-to-JetBlue transfer ratio
Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to JetBlue at a ratio of 1:1. However, Chase runs occasional transfer bonuses that can give you an even better ratio. These transfer bonuses are sporadic, but if you find one that aligns with your travel plans, you can save thousands of points. Transfers tend to be instantaneous, but may take up to several business days.

How do you transfer Chase points to JetBlue?
One of the great things about transferable points is that you can redeem them for award flights with airlines you've never flown or accrued points or miles with before. If that's the case, you'll need to set up a JetBlue TrueBlue account before you can transfer your Chase points to JetBlue.
Head to JetBlue’s site to create an account for free. Then, visit your Chase portal and go into your Ultimate Rewards account. Click "Travel" on the top toolbar, and choose "Transfer points to partners."
On the next screen, you'll see a list of Chase's travel partners, with any available transfer bonuses noted at the top. Scroll down, and click on the JetBlue option.
This will take you to a page with some rules about transferring your points to JetBlue; for instance, points transferred via the Chase portal are not eligible for earning JetBlue Mosaic status.
After reviewing the fine print, click the blue "Transfer Points" button at the bottom right.
On the following page, you'll need to enter your JetBlue TrueBlue number if you have not previously logged it, or just confirm it if you have. Chase also allows you to transfer points to one authorized user on your Chase account, so you could enter their TrueBlue number instead. Once you complete this step, click "Next."
Then, enter the number of points you want to transfer. This must be a multiple of 1,000, so you may need to transfer a few more points than required for your redemption.
The next page will give you a chance to review your information before processing the transfer. Remember that transfers are irreversible, so be sure you have entered the correct number of points you want to transfer before you hit "Submit." An innocent typo could cause you to transfer 100,000 hard-earned points when you meant to transfer only 10,000. It's also a good idea to double-check the spelling of your name and your TrueBlue number.
If you're ready to complete the transfer, click "Submit" and wait for your points to hit your JetBlue account.
According to Chase's site, "Most point transfers process by the next business day, but may take up to 7 business days." However, TPG's tests have shown that most transfers to JetBlue happen instantly. That means you could be booking your award flight mere minutes after transferring your Chase points.

When should you transfer Chase points to JetBlue?
JetBlue prices both cash and award rates dynamically, so the more a flight costs in dollars, the more it will cost in points. As a result, you can usually expect to get right around TPG's December 2025 valuation of 1.45 cents per point on JetBlue award flights.
Before you decide to book an award flight, search for the same flight on the Chase Travel℠ portal. You may be able to get a better value, depending on which credit card you have and whether the flight is eligible for Chase Points Boost.
For instance, I could book this nonstop flight from New York to London via JetBlue for 48,800 TrueBlue points in economy (Blue) or 505,200 TrueBlue points in business class (Mint), plus $5.60 in taxes and fees.
The same Blue fare would cost me 51,440 Chase points if I booked through Chase Travel, so I could save a few thousand points by transferring my points to JetBlue instead.
However, the Mint fare costs 319,428 Chase points on Chase Travel — hundreds of thousands of points less than if I booked with JetBlue, though that's still not a deal I would take.
If you want to redeem Chase points for a JetBlue flight, be sure to compare prices on JetBlue’s site and Chase Travel to get the best deal.
