Amazing Deal! Up to 75,000 JetBlue TrueBlue Points for almost nothing!

An amazing points promotion by JetBlue has just been announced, and it’s one of the best deals I’ve seen in a while.

JetBlue is currently offering a points match promotion based off the number of Virgin America Elevate points you currently have. Here is the full chart:

75,000 Jet Blue TrueBlue points are typically worth around $1000-$1250 of air fare, so this is a fantastic opportunity to quite literally earn free airfare.

There are a few rules:

You must email a screenshot of your account balance to pointsmatch@jetblue.com by July 4th 2016.  Make sure to have your full name and points balance in the screenshot. Here’s a sample screenshot:

Once you are registered for the promotion, you must book and fly a JetBlue operated flight by August 31, 2016

Most of you probably don’t fly Virgin America often; however Virgin America is an airline partner of multiple credit card award programs including American Express, Citi, and Starwood.

This means you can convert your credit card miles into Virgin America miles, take a screenshot of the updated balance, and then submit your points match to Jet Blue. 

Unfortunately, American Express & Citi points convert at a relatively poor 2:1 ratio. However, Starwood SPG points transfer at a 1:1 ratio with Virgin America.

Not only that, since Starwood gives you a bonus of 5,000 points each time you transfer 20,000 points, you will receive 25,000 Virgin America miles for every 20,000 Starwood points transferred.

This means for 41,000 miles SPG points, you’ll receive 51,000 Virgin America Miles + 75,000 JetBlue Miles, which is one heck of a deal.

Starwood points to Virgin America transfers typically complete within 24 hours. After transferring your miles, simply take the required screenshot and email JetBlue. Once JetBlue has confirmed you’re registered for the points match promotion, take any round trip JetBlue flight and your points will be deposited within 6 weeks.

One important caveat is JetBlue could theoretically change its terms & conditions and exclude mileage transfers; however that is quite unlikely to happen.
