Capital One re-adds JetBlue as transfer partner
There's good news for travelers with Capital One miles: The program has re-added JetBlue TrueBlue as a transfer partner.
Capital One first added JetBlue to its roster of 15-plus transfer partners in 2019, but it dropped it in 2021. Now, JetBlue is back, opening up new possibilities for Capital One cardholders to redeem their hard-earned miles.
But now that you can transfer your miles to JetBlue, should you? Here's everything you need to know.

How to transfer Capital One miles to JetBlue
You can now transfer Capital One miles to JetBlue TrueBlue at a 5:3 ratio. That means for every 2,000 Capital One miles you transfer, you'll get 1,200 TrueBlue points.
This ratio isn't ideal, especially considering that you can transfer miles to most of Capital One's airline and hotel partners at a better rate of 1:1.
If you need TrueBlue points, you're better off transferring American Express Membership Rewards points to JetBlue at a ratio of 250:200 (meaning 2,000 Amex points would net you 1,600 TrueBlue points). Even better, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points and Citi ThankYou Rewards points to JetBlue at a 1:1 ratio.
But if you don't have any other currencies that transfer to JetBlue or are having trouble finding ways to use your Capital One miles with the program's other partners, this is a nice option to have.
To transfer miles to JetBlue, you'll have to set up a TrueBlue loyalty account if you don't have one already. Make sure the name on your TrueBlue account exactly matches that on your Capital One account, as any mismatch can interfere with the transfer process.
We don't recommend transferring Capital One miles to TrueBlue (or any travel partner) without having an immediate plan to use them and confirming award space for the flight you want. However, if you end up with a few leftover points after a redemption, you can save them for your next one because TrueBlue points never expire.

How to redeem JetBlue points
JetBlue is a U.S.-based carrier with over 100 destinations across the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, and Europe. You can redeem TrueBlue points for any seat on any JetBlue flight — now including Blue Basic fares.
For instance, you could fly nonstop from New York to London for under 30,000 points each way in Blue Basic or in JetBlue's business-class Mint cabin for 140,000 points one-way (plus taxes and fees).
You can also redeem JetBlue points for flights operated by select JetBlue airline partners, including Etihad Airways, Hawaiian Airlines and Qatar Airways. For example, even though JetBlue doesn't fly to Qatar, you could book a trip from Boston to Doha on Qatar Airways for 39,000 TrueBlue points each way.
According to TPG's February 2025 valuations, you can expect to get around 1.35 cents per TrueBlue point. However, since JetBlue uses dynamic award pricing, the value you get for your points may vary.
Plus, if you hold the JetBlue Plus Card, the JetBlue Premier Card or the JetBlue Business Card, you'll get 10% of your points back when you redeem them for flights.

How to earn Capital One miles
The following cards earn miles that you can transfer to any of Capital One's 15-plus airline and hotel partners, including JetBlue.
- Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card
- Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card
- Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card
- Capital One Venture X Business
- Capital One Venture Business
- Capital One Spark Miles for Business (no longer available)

These cards let you earn Capital One miles on everyday purchases, but they also offer lucrative welcome bonuses to new members. For instance, the Venture Rewards card allows new cardmembers to earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
You can also transfer rewards from some other cards to Capital One's travel partners, as long as you hold one of the above cards. For instance, while the Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card earns cash-back rewards by itself, you can transfer those rewards to one of the above travel cards and turn them into valuable Capital One miles.

Bottom line
Capital One's list of travel partners has steadily grown over the years, making Capital One miles an increasingly valuable transferable points currency. The addition of JetBlue opens new redemption opportunities, primarily within North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.
However, Capital One's 5:3 transfer ratio to JetBlue will make your TrueBlue redemptions cost more miles. Look out for transfer bonuses that can help you stretch your miles further, or consider transferring to JetBlue from another program that offers a better ratio.
