Big news for Capital One cardholders: JetBlue has once again become a Capital One transfer partner. However, before you start moving your miles, there’s an important detail to consider—the transfer ratio. Capital One miles transfer to JetBlue at a 1000:600 ratio, meaning you’ll lose 40% of your miles in the process.
How Does This Compare to Other Banks?
If you’re looking to transfer to JetBlue, other bank programs offer better rates:
- Chase Ultimate Rewards®: Transfers to JetBlue at a 1:1 ratio, meaning 1,000 Chase points become 1,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points.
- American Express Membership Rewards®: Transfers at a 250:200 ratio (or 1000:800), which is still better than Capital One’s 1000:600.
When Could It Make Sense to Transfer from Capital One?
Despite the less favorable ratio, there are still scenarios where transferring Capital One miles to JetBlue could be beneficial:
- Transfer Bonuses: Occasionally, Capital One offers transfer bonuses to certain partners. If JetBlue becomes part of a promotion, the transfer value could improve significantly.
- Topping Off a Redemption: If you’re just a few thousand JetBlue points short of a valuable redemption, transferring from Capital One might be a reasonable option.
- No Other Transferable Points Available: If you don’t have access to Chase or Amex points and really need JetBlue miles, transferring from Capital One might be your best move.
Capital One Cards That Earn Transferable Miles
If you’re earning Capital One miles, here are the key cards that allow transfers to JetBlue and other airline partners:
Personal Cards:
- Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card
- Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card
- Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card
Business Cards:
These cards earn Capital One Miles, which can be transferred to various travel partners, including JetBlue.
Final Thoughts
JetBlue’s return as a Capital One transfer partner is good news, but the transfer ratio is far from ideal. If you have Chase or Amex points, those remain the better options for moving points to JetBlue. However, keeping an eye out for transfer bonuses or using Capital One miles to top off a redemption could still make sense in the right situation.
