Our Verdict

JetBlue were added as a transfer partner in late 2015 and this is the first time Citi have offered a transfer bonus for them, you can view a complete history of all other transfer partners for Citi here. You can view how much JetBlue points are worth here. You can also read our reviews of the Barclaycard JetBlue cards here (detailed review of JetBlue Plus here).

I don’t think the normal transfer rate is worth considering at all, but with the 50% transfer bonus it does become considerably more attractive (still not worth it unless you get that top tier exchange rate). I think this is probably best value for people that aren’t concern about completing flights on international routes in premium cabins, in that case JetBlue isn’t a good option for you.
