JetBlue announced this week that it will now accept Venmo payments, a first for the airline industry. The new arrangement has many advantages but also a few uncertainties, especially for travelers who live for their credit card’s bonus points.

Venmo payment options are available on JetBlue website, and will roll out on carrier's mobile app in coming months.

JetBlue has announced it is the first airline to accept Venmo as a payment option when you book online. Whether you’re using your Venmo balance, a linked bank account, or even a credit card, paying for your flight just got a whole lot easier.

Venmo payment options are the latest announcement in a broader effort from JetBlue to enhance its services and boost profits. The struggling low-cost carrier has searched for new revenue streams as larger airlines introduce their own budget options, increasing competition for those flyers.
