What JetBlue Airways's terms say at death
- Section 17.1, Miscellaneous Provisions
“Accrued Points and Award Travel do not constitute property of member and are non-transferable (i) upon death, (ii) as part of a domestic relations matter, or (iii) otherwise.”1
What JetBlue Airways says happens5
- Transfer at death
Under section 17.1, points are non-transferable and may not be combined among TrueBlue members, their estates, successors and assigns, except through Points Pooling and transfers between members through Points.com.1
Sections 17.2 and 17.3 of the Program Rules apply the same rule to tiles and Mosaic status.1
- Closing the account
Under section 7.1, should a member close their TrueBlue account, the points in that account are terminated, so closing a deceased member's account ends the points.1
- Inactive accounts and expiry
Points do not expire under section 7.1, so no expiration clock runs against the account; the points in an account are terminated when that account is closed.1
- Balances, payouts and refunds
TrueBlue points have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash.1
- How requests are reviewed
A survivor may ask JetBlue to make a discretionary exception, and requests are handled by general customer service at JetBlue's discretion; JetBlue commits to nothing.1

A written request to JetBlue Airways can ask it to transfer the points to a named family member, preserve the account while the estate is opened and close the account.
The value that can still be kept is what the account holder moved while alive: JetBlue Airways allows family pooling, transfers to another member and gift purchases.
