It’s finally LIVE! After more than a month since we first thought this promotion was starting, it has started. (HT to Larry in the comments for flagging).
While JetBlue’s TrueBlue program isn’t especially strong (in that you have very few partners and JetBlue flights are on a revenue based scheme preventing outsized value), some like to book it with points anyway.
Until Jan 10th, 2024, get a 25% bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to JetBlue
Avoid using for Mint where points are worth just 1 cent each on average, but this could be a way to get close to 2 cents per Chase point on JetBlue economy fares which is not bad at all.
This transfer bonus has also been added to our list of ongoing and historical transfer bonuses. This is also significantly better than other historical transfer bonuses from other programs that merely go from 0.8 True Blue points to parity of 1:1.

New to all of this? My “introduction to miles and points” book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points is available on Amazon and at major booksellers.
It came up on my Chase Ultimate Rewards app, but I haven’t been able to find it since (only Virgin Atlantic promo showing up). Called in, rep confirmed it was available & it would automatically convert to 1.25 when it hit my FlyingBlue account. 14k point transferred & so far that’s all that’s show up in FlyingBlue account. Rep confirmed that plus bonus should show up immediately, or at least 1-2 business days.
Called in again & spoke to a supervisor, who said the bonus points could take 6-8 weeks to show up. Any one else experiencing this? I’ve never had a transfer bonus take that long.
The promo isn’t to FlyingBlue – it’s to JetBlue True Blue. And I said above not to transfer yet as it’s not active.
If you go to the last step online you can see it’s not adding the 25%.
Assuming you did transfer to JetBlue and not AirFrance I would still absolutely speak to a supervisor since the offer was on the website and didn’t have a start date so anyone could be considered reasonable to expect the bonus on transfer. That said, it may be a long road to a resolution.
I sent a message to verify if the offer was targeted or not as I have seen in other forums people say it was there for them.
I just got it!

DOH! Flying Blue; not JetBlue.
The offer went live this morning, November 15
