Your 900 points are valued at about $9.00 toward a flight. At this point it is likely going to cost you at least $9.00 to acquire more JetBlue points. (ie...AMEX JetBlue card w/ approx $49 annual fee, IIRC).

At one time the JetBlue Amex was offering a 20K point sign-up bonus and 10K for referrals to the card. I referred my wife after getting the 20K sign-up bonus and ended up with 30K points. My wife got the 20K and she referred a friend and got another 10K.

The JetBlue Amex sign-up bonus is only 10K now and 5K for referrals. With the annual fee of approx $49 it is hardly worth it IMO. If you see an offer for 20K sign-up it would be well worth it though.

As a last ditch effort, log onto Jetblue.com and look for any points earnings opportunities/offers.

Good luck.
