Update 7/13/26: Citi has provided the following correction:
Effective September 20, 2026, JetBlue will no longer be available as a ThankYou Points transfer redemption option for the Citi ThankYou® Mastercard®. However, the other no annual fee cards will continue to be able to transfer their ThankYou Points to JetBlue at the current rate.
Citi has announced that cardholders that don’t receive a 1:1 transfer rate to JetBlue will no longer see it as an option at all starting September 20, 2026. Cardholders affected see the following message:
Important update: JetBlue will no longer be a Points Transfer option effective September 20, 2026. This change will not affect prior JetBlue Points Transfer transactions.
Affected cards include (basically anything with no annual fee):
- Citi Double Cash
- CardCiti Custom Cash
- Card Citi Rewards+
- Card Citi Strata Card
Citi last made changes to jetBlue transfer rates in September 2018 with rates increasing. Hopefully this doesn’t mean the rate will be changing from 1:1 for cardholders with an annual fee.
