The Offer
- American Express is offering a 25% transfer bonus when you transfer your Membership Rewards points to JetBlue. These points usually transfer 250:200. Under this promotion they transfer at 250:250
The Fine Print
- Valid until December 21st, 2019
Our Verdict
Looks like this replaces the YMMV offer that was for 40-50%. Obviously this offer isn’t as good but it should be available to everybody. We’ve seen the following transfer bonuses before:
- June 10th – unknown end date, 2019: 40-50% [ymmv]
- August 1st – October 1st, 2018: 25% bonus [targeted]
- February 26th – March 25th, 2018: 10-30% bonus [targeted]
- November 1st – November 31st, 2017: 25% bonus
- May 1st – May 31st, 2017: 25% bonus
- August 15th – September 15th, 2014: 25% bonus
- June 12th, 2012 – June 17th, 2012: 30% bonus
As you can see 25% is a common bonus but we sometimes see bigger bonuses. JetBlue award flights are tied to the cash price of a flight. You can view a full list of current and previous American Express bonuses from all travel partners by clicking here.
Hat tip to OMaaT
JetBlue points are worth 1.2-1.4x, so good use of MR points IMHO
(PS: don’t like using points for First Class)
Worth more than that if you’ve got the JetBlue 10% points rebate.
