• Transfer bonus valid through 10/01/2018

Analysis

As with all point transfers, you should make sure you have a trip idea in mind when you spring for the transfer. The reason is that award devaluations do occur, sometimes without warning. Also, miles can expire in various programs if there is no activity for a certain amount of time.

That being said, these transfer bonuses are a nice chance to get more bang for your points when you take advantage of them. With the JetBlue transfer, you are essentially getting a 1.5 – 2.3 cent value on your Membership Reward points, depending on the flights you book. There are better options out there but if you fly JetBlue a lot, this could be helpful.
