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 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.

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

JetBlue marks the latest in a growing number of companies, including online merchants like Amazon and eBay and brick-and-mortar stores like CVS, that have started accepting Venmo as a payment method.

This week, announced it’ll begin accepting Venmo, offering a quick and easy way to pay for flights. The option is available now on jetblue.com and will be on the airline’s mobile app in the following months.
