If you’ve got a stash of JetBlue TrueBlue points to burn, JetBlue is offering an automatic 20% discount on select award flights. However, you’ll need to act quickly and book by the end of the day tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9, 2024.

This limited-time offer can provide significant savings on award flights — if you act quickly. Here are the details!

20% Discount on Select JetBlue Award Flights

First off, to take advantage of this sale, you need to book by 11:59 p.m. local time on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. You’ll be able to travel between December 4 and February 12, 2025, with blackout dates from December 19, 2024, to January 7, 2025.

To take advantage of this promotion, simply visit JetBlue’s website and search for your flights. The base price you see in points will already reflect the 20% discount, so there’s nothing additional you need to do to get the discounted price.

Unfortunately, you cannot use your points to fly in Mint or on transatlantic flights as part of this sale, which is really where you could score the most value.

Instead, only economy class flights are available in JetBlue’s mostly domestic route network. However, many Caribbean and Latin American flights are on sale.

Example Flight

This December, you could book an award flight from New York (JFK) to Grand Cayman (GCM) for just 7,200 miles and $5.60 in taxes and fees. It’s a Blue fare (read: not Blue Basic), so you’ll get access to seat selection, a personal item, and a carry-on bag.

The same flight in cash would cost $148, so you’re looking at around 2 cents per point in value with this award. This is a very good way to redeem JetBlue points, considering we value JetBlue TrueBlue points at just 1.3 cents apiece.

Hot Tip:

Don’t have any JetBlue TrueBlue points? Remember that you can transfer your American Express Membership Rewards (1:0.8 ratio) or Chase Ultimate Rewards points (1:1 ratio) to JetBlue.

Final Thoughts

This sale is a fantastic way to get somewhere warm this winter with some nicely reduced flight prices when using your JetBlue TrueBlue points. Unfortunately, the sale only lasts for a very brief time.

However, if you’re flexible enough to make this timing work, the savings can be significant.
