What's great about it is that you can redeem points for virtually any seat on a flight, should one be available. The downside is that the number of points required fluctuates with the cash cost of the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Based on thousands of AwardWallet user redemptions, your <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/point-mile-values\/Jetblue\" rel=\"noopener\">JetBlue points are worth approximately 1.24\u00a2 each<\/a>.
