## Summary

TrueBlue members can buy points at 2.58 cents each through 11:59 p.m. EST on October 18, 2026. The 20% discount applies to purchases of 3,000 to 200,000 points after the 7.5% tax recovery fee. First-time buyers may get another 10% off, or 2.26 cents per point.

Buys of 1,000 or 2,000 points stay at 3.23 cents. Purchases are non-refundable and do not count toward Mosaic. Purchased points are supposed to post within 72 hours. A 3,000-point buy costs $77.40. The 200,000-point maximum costs $5,160 including the fee.

AwardWallet puts average TrueBlue redemptions at about 1.24 cents, well below this buy rate, so cash fares often beat buying points for JetBlue flights. The 20% off is weaker than many earlier JetBlue sales.

Only consider a small top-off for an award already wanted, and check for the extra first-time 10% off.
