Aruba on points

Across the 1 sourced route we track, Aruba in economy runs about 26,000 points per person round trip, from a low of 16,000 up to 36,000. Under 18,500 points is great, under 26,000 is good. Above 36,000 is more than any route we have sourced for this cabin. The same seats bought with cash run roughly $450 to $800.

The routes we track book through JetBlue TrueBlue, which Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Points points can transfer into. Starting from zero, the planner's fastest two cards for this trip are the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Transfers are one way, so confirm award space before you move points.

Award calendars typically open about 11 months (roughly 330 days) before departure, and partner saver seats go first. For a Sep 2027 trip that means searching from Oct 2026; the plan works backward from that date so your points land before the window opens.
