Update: Offer seems to be available for everyone and reportedly can be done for each card separately.

The Offer
Capital One recently added JetBlue at 5:3 transfer rate. Check your Capital One account for the following promotion:
- Complete your first transfer of Capital One points to JetBlue and get 5,000 bonus JetBlue miles.
Our Verdict
The lowest transfer is 1,000 Capital One points for 600 JetBlue miles and that would work to trigger the bonus points. Most people won’t find the transfer option interesting on the regular rate; with this promo offer you can get 5,600 miles with a 1,000 points transfer for a great deal.
I’m not certain if this offer is showing for everyone; it seems to be widely available. An email went out about it, and people are seeing it in their Capital One login. There is no enrollment for those targeted, AFAIK, just do the transfer and the bonus points should get deposited into your JetBlue account.
A few updates:
- Currently, the transfer is often not instant and takes a few hours
- The offer seems to be available for everyone; you have to expand to see it
- Readers mention that you can do this multiple times if you have more than one card – for each personal and business card separately.
An easy one – miles transferred in about 90 minutes. 1000 for 5600 is a no brainer.
The offer is per card, not just one personal and one business. I transferred once from my VentureX business, and once from my Spark Miles, and I got the 5000 bonus both times already in my JetBlue account, even though those are both business cards.
And an important reminder- since a lot of us probably recently signed up for the Venture with the increased welcome offer, and don’t have any points there yet- Capital One lets you move miles from one card to another (and even to someone else’s Cap1 card). So, you can move 1000 points into the new Venture and then transfer from there, to get the 5000 bonus again.
Confirmed worked for me. I didn’t get an email but the promo showed at the Cap1 Transfer Partners screen. 5,000 bonus points showed up in JetBlue after a few hours
Was wondering what I was going to do with the ~1,000 Capital One points hanging out in my account since I downgraded the Venture X card. Just moved back to the East Coast from the PNW where JetBlue will be of more access to me again, so this worked out perfectly! 5,600 points transferred seamlessly.
can authorized users take advantage?
Confirmed, it works. I transferred 1,000 capital one miles, miles where deducted immediately from my cap one account. Three (3) hours later I received a confirmation email from Capital One and the 5,600 miles in my Jet Blue account
Was able to double up. Transferred from Business card and Personal card. Received 2 5k bonus points.
Same! Thanks for the tip
Same!! Thank you. Didn’t even think of this until you mentioned it.
Also worked from my two personal cards (VX and V1)
Confirmed it works. 5,000 bonus posted instantly along with the 600.
Received email notification of bonus opportunity from Cap One. Bonus opportunity was in account for P1 and P2. Transfer was not immediate for either account. 5600 points posted to P1 after 3 hours…still waiting for P2
P2 posted 5600 points 30 minutes later
Didn’t get the email but the offer showed up on the site when expanding the TrueBlue section. Transferred and immediately got the points and bonus.
Same. good promo
