Can anyone help me with using Amex points to pay for airfare?

My boss is giving my bro Amex points to pay for his airfare.

Bro wants to fly Jet Blue.

Jet Blue said to set up a True Blue account, then transfer the points.

Should my bro set up the True Blue in his name, or my boss's name?

I'm thinking my bro's name and then have my boss transfer the points.

Any travel agents or frequent travelers that have experience?

TIA!

There are a few different ways to do this.

I use AMEX points to travel all the time. You could set up a true blue account in your brother's name and then have your boss transfer the points in - that's probably the easiest way.

Or - (and I don't know if this is an option because it's your boss' account), DH and I sometimes use the "pay with points" option on the AMEX Travel website. You'd need your boss' account number though.

Your brother and your boss will need True Blue accounts I believe. Then your boss can transfer the points from amex to true blue, then from his true blue to your brother's.

(I think).
