Because TrueBlue points are forfeited at death under JetBlue Airways's terms, the only way to preserve their value is through action taken while the account is active.
Points Pooling is TrueBlue's family-sharing feature and is expressly carved out of the non-transferability rule in section 17.1 of the Program Rules. Per the Points Pooling Terms and Conditions, a Points Pooling account can consist of up to seven (7) Participants and must include at least one person twenty-one (21) years of age or older. The member who starts the pool becomes the Pool Leader (must be 21 or older) and may invite up to six (6) Participants. Participants contribute 100% of their points to the pool while remaining able to redeem from their own individual balance. The Pool Leader, and any member the Pool Leader gives redemption privileges to, can redeem from the pooled balance without the permission of other members. A member who leaves or is removed leaves with their remaining unused balance, and once a Participant is removed the Pool Leader may not add anyone in their place for at least six (6) months. A Pool Leader who wants to remove themselves must contact TrueBlue by telephone. Separately, points can be bought, gifted, or transferred between TrueBlue members through Points.com at a cost.

Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
Frequently asked questions
Move points to family during your lifetime, because the Program Rules foreclose transfer at death. Points Pooling is expressly carved out of the non-transferability rule, so pooling with the family members you want to share points with is the most direct step. You can also buy, gift, or transfer points into another member's own TrueBlue account through Points.com at a cost, and points in their account are unaffected by your death. Redeeming for award travel is the other way to realize the value.
No. TrueBlue has no beneficiary designation. Because the Program Rules say points are not property of the member and are non-transferable upon death, there is nothing to designate. Lifetime pooling or a lifetime transfer through Points.com is the substitute.
Listing the TrueBlue account in an estate inventory identifies it for a fiduciary, who works through the operator's official channels to manage or close it.
TrueBlue does not offer beneficiary designations, so there is no program-level mechanism for directing points to a specific person at death.
