Compared to most of its rivals, JetBlue is a relative newcomer; the carrier has only been in existence for 26 years since its launch in 1998. The Long Island-headquartered airline operates on the lower end of the cost spectrum, although the airline still offers an excellent premium cabin product with its JetBlue Mint service.
Like almost every other airline, JetBlue has its own loyalty program — named TrueBlue — which lets travelers earn and redeem points. Fortunately for JetBlue fans, JetBlue has one of the most generous points expiration policies of any airline.
Do JetBlue Points Expire?
JetBlue TrueBlue points do not expire as long as your TrueBlue account is open. Per the JetBlue terms and conditions page:
“TrueBlue Points do not expire. Should a Member close his or her TrueBlue account, the Points in that account will be terminated.”

How To Earn JetBlue TrueBlue Points
JetBlue's TrueBlue loyalty program is known for making it easy to earn and redeem points. There are plenty of ways to start building up your JetBlue points balance for your next trip. Here are all of the ways you can earn TrueBlue points:
- Fly with JetBlue.
- Fly with one of JetBlue's partner airlines — such as Hawaiian Airlines, JSX, or Qatar Airways.
- Stay at IHG hotels.
- Earn points by spending with one of the JetBlue credit cards, including:
- Dine out and earn points with TrueBlue Dining.

- Rent a car with Avis or Budget.
- Fly with your pet and earn 300 points.

Transfer points to JetBlue
In addition to earning TrueBlue points, you can also transfer points from several transferrable point currencies:
With Citi ThankYou Rewards, the 1:1 transfer ratio only applies if you have the Citi Strata Premier℠ Card, Citi Prestige® Card, or Citi Chairman® Card credit cardholders. For other cardholders, 1,000 ThankYou points convert to 800 TrueBlue points.
Unfortunately, Marriott dropped JetBlue as a transfer partner in July 2021. Shortly after, JetBlue ended its partnership with Capital One and Brex in October 2021.
Use AwardWallet to Track Your JetBlue Points Balance
Although JetBlue points do not expire, that is not an excuse not to keep a close eye on them. Letting a balance build up without redemptions puts your points at risk of devaluation. Your best option is to use AwardWallet to keep track of your JetBlue points balance so that you can strike and book your award as soon as you reach a redemption threshold.
Adding JetBlue to your AwardWallet account is easy; simply log into your account and link your TrueBlue account in AwardWallet, and you'll get updates when your balance changes — for good or bad.

Our Take
JetBlue points aren't the most valuable airline rewards available, but JetBlue stands out by making it simple to turn your rewards into travel. JetBlue TrueBlue points do not expire and this expiration policy is one of the many reasons to like the TrueBlue program. TrueBlue members have one less thing to worry about, knowing that their points won't expire as long as they keep their TrueBlue account open.

I like the fact that JetBlue points don’t expire. With my wife and I doing personal and business app’s we were able to grow our accounts by 400K (remember, you can pool miles) miles, so we’ll be close to a half million miles once the last bonus posts.
I like thinking forward and looking at the current airline landscape, I think JB is ripe for a merger and all those miles would combine with another program and possibly more spending power. It’s just speculation but fun to think about all the possibilities today, both hotels and airlines.
Even though there is a good expiration policy the big disadvantage is that Jet Blue is absent from big alliances
And, the second big disadvantage is it simply does not have a large footprint. If a frequent flier is located in the wrong home city, JetBlue isn’t even a consideration, unfortunately.
This is a great program. jetBlue has been generous for many years. The family pooling is also a very valuable part of their program! Have had great experiences flying JetBlue in and out of JFK in particular.
Can’t wait till Jet Blue expands to Canada! No expiry policy will make it real attractive.
Sería bueno que otras compañías como American utilizarán la misma política en cuanto a la caducidad de las millas o puntos.
I have enjoyed flying Jet Blue in the past. The lack of expiration of points is a really good feature. At least some other companies have deferred expiration of their programmes’ points during the pandemic though.
Long May it stay this way! Any frequent flyer programme with a miles expiration is a no for me
It is great that JetBlue has no expiry, but to be fair expiry dates are palatable, as long as they are lengthy and can be extended by some activity. The worst ones are those that expire a fixed period after earning regardless of any activity – I have no interest in collecting in those programs.
JetBlue seem to have some interesting airline partners, but I just can’t get excited about collecting points in an airline that isn’t part of one of the main alliances. The fact that the points don’t expire is good though.
No expiration and the pooling feature are both very useful for the three family member accounts I manage. If only the points were worth a little more, I might get to redeem them one day…
Wowww headline scared me I thought they had made changes to their frequent flyer program.
Oh no. That wasn’t our intention! All of our point expiration policy posts (https://awardwallet.com/blog/tag/fees-rules-and-policies/) utilize this type of headline. So, we were trying to be consistent.
Jet Blue is a great program, just wish the had a larger footprint.
