JetBlue TrueBlue points are worth 1.4 cents each, according to NerdWallet's analysis, making them among some of the most valuable airline miles.
However, there's a caveat: The JetBlue TrueBlue program offers a relatively simple redemption structure, where the cost to book a JetBlue flight on points is largely tied to the cash price. Typically, if the cash fare is cheap, the price in TrueBlue points should also be cheap. While that's great for understanding the value of your points, it also means there aren't as many redemptions where you can get outsized value, such as with other airline miles.
NerdWallet's valuation of points and miles is based on real-world data for hundreds of economy routes, not a maximized value. In other words, you can expect to get 1.4 cents per JetBlue point when booking an award flight in economy on the airline. That said, you can sometimes get even more value out of your points by optimizing JetBlue sweet spots.

How do JetBlue TrueBlue points compare to other airlines?
TrueBlue points offer an above-average value compared to other airlines. Even if you have fewer JetBlue points than points in another loyalty program, it's possible your stash of JetBlue points could be more valuable — and get you to even more places.
In fact, JetBlue TrueBlue points are some of the most valuable among U.S. airlines, according to our analysis.
How has the JetBlue points value changed over time?
After taking a dip in value in 2020, likely due to pandemic, the value has jumped back up. TrueBlue points are now some of the most valuable reward points you can get, according to our estimates.
How flexible are JetBlue points?
Although JetBlue isn't part of an airline alliance, it has forged partnerships with other airlines to allow passengers to earn and redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points on those partners. (Keep in mind that depending on the JetBlue airline partner, you may be able to earn, redeem, or earn and redeem your points.)
Some of its earn-and-redeem partners include Condor, Etihad Airways, Hawaiian Airlines, Icelandair and Qatar Airways. JetBlue has also launched its Blue Sky partnership with United Airlines, allowing TrueBlue members to earn and redeem points on United flights.
JetBlue's earn-only partners include JSX, Singapore Airlines and South African Airways.
If you don't have enough TrueBlue points for an award redemption, you can also use a combination of cash and points to book flights on JetBlue.

Still not sure?
How did we determine value?
We collected hundreds of data points comparing the cash value to award (point) value for the same routes and dates. That is, we compared the cost of a given ticket in either cash or points, across many tickets.
This method differs from others in that it looks at actual redemptions rather than "maximized" redemptions. The advantage of this approach is that it provides a real-world indication of how much these points are worth, on average. That said, it doesn’t factor in "high value" redemptions.
