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.

In the first-ever partnership between an airline and Venmo, U.S. customers can now pay for their JetBlue flight.

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