Wells Fargo Rewards just added JetBlue Airways’ TrueBlue loyalty program as its newest 1:1 transfer partner. That alone is great for JetBlue passengers, and it’s landing at the perfect time.
With the new JetBlue and United Blue Sky partnership now in effect, TrueBlue members can also redeem their points for select United flights. This means Wells Fargo Rewards members can now book rewards on JetBlue and United (as well as other partner airlines) by transferring Wells Fargo Rewards points to the TrueBlue program.
Here’s how it works and what you should book.
How to Transfer Wells Fargo Rewards Points to JetBlue TrueBlue
Make sure you’ve signed up for a TrueBlue account, you can sign up online for free. Then, log into your Wells Fargo Rewards account to link the two accounts.
Like other Wells Fargo Rewards transfer partners, there are no minimums or fixed increments. You can transfer up to 1 Wells Fargo Rewards point to JetBlue TrueBlue.
In the TPG test, transfers to JetBlue were posted immediately, which is ideal when you discover award space.
The best way to redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points
Here are some of the best ways to redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points today:
- Fly from the US East Coast to Germany in Condor Business Class: Through JetBlue’s partnership with Condor, you can reserve a lie-flat business class seat from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or Boston’s Logan International Airport (BOS) to Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and beyond for just 54,000 one-way TrueBlue points (plus taxes and fees).
- Japan Airlines flights to Tokyo: Book a one-way flight from a continental U.S. city to Tokyo for 39,000 points in economy class or 79,900 points in business class.
- Fly to Europe in Economy Class on JetBlue for Lower Prices: TrueBlue has dynamic pricing for JetBlue-operated flights, but at the time of publication, we found a flight from Boston to Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) this December for a surprisingly low price of just 7,100 TrueBlue points, plus $5.60 in taxes and fees.
- Icelandair Economy Class to Reykjavik: Economy class awards from Boston or New York to Keflavik Airport (KEF) in Iceland start at 17,000 points one-way, plus about $100 in taxes and fees.
- Domestic flights operated by United Airlines via Blue Sky: Thanks to a new partnership between United and JetBlue, TrueBlue points can now be used to book select flights operated by United. TPG has received approximately 11,900 points in domestic economy bonuses on one-way non-stop routes (book early to get the best prices).
Wells Fargo Rewards Points may also be transferred to the following partner programs at the following rates:

bottom line
The addition of JetBlue’s TrueBlue loyalty program is a nice improvement to Wells Fargo’s rewards program, especially after the new Blue Sky partnership with United just went live.
With 1:1 transfers from Wells Fargo Rewards, instant posting in most cases and no minimums (even a single point can be transferred), Wells Fargo Rewards members can now easily book rewards on two major U.S. airlines with the same TrueBlue points balance.
Just confirm availability and totals first, then transfer exactly what you need. Remember, transfers cannot be undone.
