Bilt Points now transfer to JetBlue TrueBlue at 1:1, starting October 20, 2026, so 10,000 Bilt Points become 10,000 TrueBlue points. JetBlue is Bilt’s 27th travel partner, according to the Bilt press release carried on Business Wire. There’s no launch bonus.
At the 1.24 cents per TrueBlue point AwardWallet users average, a Bilt Point moved to JetBlue is worth about 1.24 cents. That’s well below the 2.2 cents our valuation guide gives Bilt Points, so this partner suits a specific JetBlue flight rather than a default use.
What changed
- Before: Bilt members had no way to move points to JetBlue. Amex Membership Rewards, for one, pays 200 TrueBlue points for every 250 Amex points.
- Now: Bilt Points transfer to TrueBlue at 1:1, in 1,000-point steps, in the Bilt app or at Bilt.com.
- Minimum: 1,000 Bilt Points, or 2,000 for Bilt Members with Blue Status.
- Who it affects: anyone earning Bilt Points on rent, mortgage payments or a Bilt card, and especially JetBlue flyers in New York, Boston and Florida.
- Partner count: 27 travel partners across airlines, hotels and rail, 24 of them at 1:1, per the release.
- Direct link: Bilt’s JetBlue page
Key terms
- The ratio: the release says, “every 1,000 Bilt Points transferred becomes 1,000 TrueBlue points.”
- Linking: you link your TrueBlue account in Bilt before your first transfer. TrueBlue membership is free.
- Bilt’s pitch: “Bilt is one of the few major points programs that transfers to JetBlue at a 1:1 ratio,” the release says.
- No bonus yet: the release announces no launch bonus or Rent Day promotion. Rove, by contrast, launched its JetBlue partnership with a 20% bonus.
- Where the points go: TrueBlue points book JetBlue flights and select flights on JetBlue’s partner airlines.
- Transfers are final: like every bank transfer, points you move to TrueBlue can’t come back to Bilt.
How it compares with other ways into TrueBlue

|---|---|---|
| Bilt | 1:1 | 10,000 TrueBlue points |
| Amex Membership Rewards | 250:200 | 8,000 TrueBlue points |
| Rove Miles | 1:1, with a 20% bonus through November 14 | 12,000 TrueBlue points |

What a Bilt Point buys at JetBlue
JetBlue prices awards from the cash fare, so points follow the ticket price instead of a fixed chart. On October 16, 2026, our seats.aero search for the Rove post found JetBlue’s Mint business class from New York JFK to San Francisco on November 25 for 48,900 TrueBlue points plus $5.60.

| Taxes | $5.60 | $5.60 |
The Mint seat costs 12,250 fewer points from Bilt than from Amex. Those seats will likely be gone by the time you read this, so price your own date before you move anything.
Our take
We’d transfer Bilt Points to JetBlue only for a flight you’ve already found and priced. At 1.24 cents per TrueBlue point, 49,000 Bilt Points buy about $608 of JetBlue travel. The same points sent to an airline partner for a business class saver award often clear 2 cents each, which is the 2.2 cents our points valuation guide uses.
The partner is still useful. JetBlue awards have no saver seats to hunt for, so any seat with a cash fare also books with points. It’s a clean way to use a small Bilt balance on a Boston to Florida hop. It also gives Bilt holders a 1:1 path Amex holders don’t have, worth 2,000 extra TrueBlue points on every 10,000 transferred.
Act if you fly JetBlue regularly from the Northeast and hold Bilt Points with no long-haul plan. Skip it if you’re saving for a premium international award, where Bilt’s 1:1 airline partners go further. Hyatt fans have a reason to wait too, with Bilt’s Hyatt transfers cut to 4:3 in January. Our JetBlue buy points post sets out the same ceiling: TrueBlue points are worth what JetBlue’s cash fares are worth.
