American Express (AmEx) has unveiled a special offer for its esteemed Membership Rewards customers. The financial services giant is offering an attractive 25% transfer bonus to those who opt to transfer their membership rewards points to JetBlue.
Usually, the transfer ratio from American Express to JetBlue is 250:200. But with this new promotion, you can enjoy a fantastic transfer rate of 250:250. The best part? This deal is valid until “November 30, 2023”. Sounds good, right?
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a transfer bonus from AmEx to JetBlue. So, this comes as a pleasant surprise.
Let’s take a quick look at the previous transfer bonuses:
| Period | Bonus | Trend |
|---|---|---|
| Oct-Dec 2019 | 25% | ↗️ |
| Jun 2019 (End date unknown) | 40-50% | ↘️ |
| Aug-Oct 2018 | 25% (targeted) | ↗️ |
| Feb-Mar 2018 | 10-30% (targeted) | ↘️ |
| Nov 2017 | 25% | ↗️ |
| May 2017 | 25% | ↔️ |
| Aug-Sep 2014 | 25% | ↔️ |
| Jun 2012 | 30% | ↘️ |
JetBlue award flights’ value is tied to the flight’s cash price.
Verdict
While the 1:1 transfer ratio may seem appealing, it’s important to think about what works best for you. If you’re a frequent flyer with JetBlue, this could be a fantastic opportunity to make the most out of your points. But, if you’ve been waiting for a transfer bonus to another airline like Hawaiian Airlines, it might be worth waiting a bit longer.
This move by American Express is definitely a positive trend in reward offerings, and we’re pumped to see what other exciting deals they’ll roll out in the future.
