Where does Pool Points appear in TrueBlue?
The transfer service is paid: JetBlue says points bought, gifted or transferred can be used toward award redemptions but do not earn tiles. [3] Tiles count toward Mosaic qualification: 50 for Mosaic 1, 100 for Mosaic 2, 150 for Mosaic 3 and 250 for Mosaic 4. [4] The Mosaic status guide explains those tiers in more detail.
How do you redeem TrueBlue points for an award flight?
To redeem TrueBlue points, start a flight search on jetblue.com or in the JetBlue app, and review the airline partners list for additional redemption options. [3] Select the “Use TrueBlue points” checkbox before searching. [3] The results show the points required for a 100% points redemption. [3] For JetBlue-operated flights, JetBlue provides separate details on Cash + Points redemptions. [3] For itineraries operated solely by partner airlines, Cash + Points is not available, and a 100% points redemption is required. [3] A redemption booking accepts no more than two forms of payment, such as a travel credit combined with TrueBlue points. [3] Inventory is at the operating carrier's discretion: availability is not guaranteed and can be modified at any time, and fares are subject to change. [3]
What taxes and fees apply to TrueBlue award flights?
JetBlue does not use one fixed points price for every route: the points required vary by destination, day of the week, season and advance booking window. [3] The number is based on the published base fare at the time of booking and can be affected by peak travel periods. [3] Taxes and fees are additional, paid by the passenger, and vary by departure and destination. [3]
| Award flight type | One-way taxes and fees | Round-trip taxes and fees | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic | $5.60 | $11.20 | [3] |
| International | $5.60–$161.50 | $27.60–$171.60 | [3] |
Taxes and fees must be paid when the award flight is booked and are subject to change as required by law. [3] Award fares do not include baggage fees or charges for separately sold products and services. [3]
How do earning and transfers affect a TrueBlue balance?
TrueBlue points are earned by buying qualifying services or products from JetBlue, JetBlue Vacations, TrueBlue Travel or with a JetBlue co-branded credit card. [5] On JetBlue-operated flights, points are based on the fare paid and eligible fees, less taxes and non-eligible fees. [5] The standard rate is 3 points per dollar, or 1 point per dollar on Base fares. [5] Booking on jetblue.com or in the JetBlue app adds 3 bonus points per dollar, for a total of 6 points per dollar on Main, Main Flex, EvenMore, EvenMore Flex, Mint and Mint Flex fares, or 2 points per dollar on Main Base and EvenMore Base fares; no bonus applies to phone bookings. [5] All JetBlue-operated flights purchased on jetblue.com are eligible to earn points, and partner flights require an eligible fare plus the TrueBlue number at booking. [5] Points normally post within 14 days after completed travel, or up to 30 days for non-air Paisly products. [5] A missing-points request for a JetBlue-operated flight can be made within 12 months of the flight; partner timelines vary. [5] JetBlue also states that members cannot earn points for flights purchased for another traveller. [5] The TrueBlue earning guide covers partner earning in more detail.

Frequently asked questions
Can I book a partner airline with TrueBlue points?
Yes. JetBlue's redemption search includes partner-operated options, but an itinerary operated solely by a partner must be booked as a 100% points redemption because Cash + Points is not available on those bookings. [3]
Can I pay part of a TrueBlue award with travel credit?
Yes, a redemption booking can use up to two forms of payment, and JetBlue gives travel credit plus TrueBlue points as an example. [3]
Are taxes and fees included in the points price?
No. Taxes and fees are additional and paid by the passenger; for domestic awards they are $5.60 one-way and $11.20 round-trip as of 18 October 2026. [3]
Do transferred TrueBlue points count toward Mosaic?
No. Points bought, gifted or transferred can be used for award redemptions but do not earn tiles, and tiles are what count toward Mosaic qualification. [3] [4]
How long do TrueBlue points take to post?
Points normally post within 14 days after completed travel, or up to 30 days for non-air Paisly products. [5]
