Rove Adds JetBlue As 1:1 Transfer Partner, Launches With 20% Bonus

Rove has added JetBlue TrueBlue as a 1:1 transfer partner, with a 20% bonus through November 14. That’s a better transfer ratio than American Express or Capital One offers, and it creates some interesting opportunities to book business class on JetBlue’s partners. I’m generally not going to transfer to JetBlue. Flights on JetBlue are based on ticket cost and you’re usually not going to get more than about 1.3 cents in value per point, though with a 20% bonus that’s about break-even with Rove’s portal value on a lot of travel – I can usually get around 1.5 cents apiece redeeming them for hotel stays that still earn hotel points and elite status credit. However there are niche redemptions that work. Starting today, Rove members can transfer miles to TrueBlue at 1:1. Through November 14, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern, transfers receive a 20% bonus. Pretty cool, members can search live TrueBlue award availability through Rove’s platform, comparing awards with cash fares before deciding how to book. They call this their 22nd transfer partner (I call it 21 because I don’t count Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and Virgin Red separately), and I love that they promote new partners with transfer bonuses (and sometimes run those more than one at a time with pre-existing partners). You earn Rove miles through travel bookings, shopping, dining and gift cards. You don’t need a particular credit card, and you can earn the rewards from whichever card you use to pay as well. I’ve been particularly interested in their expanded Loyalty Eligible hotel rates and instant gift card rewards. 1:1 Is Actually A Good JetBlue Transfer Ratio Here’s what 10,000 points or miles from the major U.S. transferable programs will get you, before any bonus except the new Rove offer: Program TrueBlue Points Received Rove, during the 20% promotion 12,000 Rove, standard rate 10,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards, with an eligible card 10,000 Citi ThankYou, with Strata Premier, Strata Elite or Prestige 10,000 Wells Fargo Rewards 10,000 American Express Membership Rewards 8,000 Other eligible Citi ThankYou cards 7,000 Capital One miles 6,000 Amex transfers at 250:200, and adds its excise tax offset fee for transfers to U.S. airlines: $6 on a 10,000-point transfer, up to $99 per transfer. Capital One transfers at 5:3. So Rove’s regular rate matches Chase, premium Citi cards and Wells Fargo. During the bonus, the same 10,000 Rove miles generate twice as many JetBlue points as 10,000 Capital One miles. But remember that you can also transfer Rove’s miles to these partners: Star Alliance: Air Canada Aeroplan, Air India Maharaja Club, Copa ConnectMiles, Lufthansa Miles & More, Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus, Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles SkyTeam: Aeromexico Rewards, Air France KLM Flying Blue, SAS EuroBonus, Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club/Virgin Red oneworld: Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, Finnair Plus, Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, Qantas Frequent Flyer, Qatar Airways Privilege Club Non-alliance: Etihad Guest, Frontier Miles, Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club, JetBlue TrueBlue Hotels: ALL Accor Here’s What You Can Do With JetBlue’s Points The best redemptions are generally partner business class awards, where the points price can be much lower relative to the cash fare. That includes Condor to Europe. I’ve covered East Coast–Frankfurt business class for 54,000 TrueBlue points each way, which would require 45,000 Rove miles with this bonus. Condor’s Airbus A330neo offers a good business class product. Consider also Qatar Airways business class. It prices are around 90,000–98,000 TrueBlue points one-way, depending on the U.S. city. The 90,000-point award would require 75,000 Rove miles. But Rove already transfers directly to Qatar. A 70,000-Avios saver award would require just 56,000 Rove miles under the current 25% bonus tier. That’s substantially better. Note that JetBlue cardholders do even bBetter. The JetBlue Premier card now rebates 15% of points redeemed on JetBlue and partner award flights. If you already have that card, a 54,000-point Condor award returns 8,100 TrueBlue points. You still need the full 54,000 to book, and the rebate comes back as JetBlue points. TrueBlue also offers redemptions on United, China Airlines, Icelandair and Cape Air. I wouldn’t transfer speculatively for United Polaris since the pricing and limited premium cabin availability tend to make that unattractive. Topics on this page
