May 26 - JetBlue and American Airlines announced that JetBlue’s TrueBlue loyalty program members are now eligible to earn points on all American Airlines-operated flights. The new accrual agreement covers American flights operating with the JetBlue code within the carriers’ Northeast Alliance, as well as on all other American flights operating anywhere in the world. At the same time, American’s AAdvantage members can now accrue miles on all JetBlue flights within and beyond the Northeast (a).

 

Earning TrueBlue Points Wherever You Fly

American flights operating within the Northeast Alliance – which encompass routes departing from or arriving in New York and Boston – are bookable on jetblue.com and the JetBlue mobile app. American flights earn the same amount of points as JetBlue flights when booked on jetblue.com or the app.

 

If completing bookings on aa.com, TrueBlue customers should select ‘JetBlue Airways’ for the frequent flyer program and enter their TrueBlue number. Flights purchased on aa.com or the American app are not eligible for the JetBlue app/jetblue.com booking bonus.

 

Base points earned on American Airlines-operated flights count towards Mosaic status – JetBlue’s top earning loyalty program.

 

1. Base points earned on American Airlines operated flights count towards Mosaic status.
2. Only applies when fare is booked on jetblue.com or on JetBlue mobile app.
3. Only applies when booking with a cobranded JetBlue credit card. Not all cobranded JetBlue credit cards earn the same bonus of 6 points.

 

Earn and (Coming Soon) Burn

In the future, customers will also be able to redeem points or miles on either carrier. Further, the airlines are exploring opportunities to recognize JetBlue Mosaic customers and American’s AAdvantage elite members across both airlines. In addition to more details being announced to loyalty program members throughout this year, JetBlue and American will be revealing enhancements to the customer experience.

Building More Benefits for Customers

First announced in July 2020 and authorized by the U.S. Department of Transportation earlier this year, the Northeast Alliance (NEA) enables JetBlue and American to unlock growth and offer travelers in the Northeast new competitive choices by aligning complementary assets, brand strengths and customer bases.

 

Already, some 4.3 million customers have benefited from key components of the Northeast Alliance, such as:

• 57 new routes at New York and Boston airports
• Schedules in key markets retimed to hourly, nearly hourly or every other hour on seven routes
• More flights featuring premium service and lie-flat seating on select routes to and from the Northeast
• Codesharing available on more than 100 routes, with more to come
• Access to itineraries on both airlines when visiting jetblue.com or aa.com
• Integrating travel experiences and benefits, including enhanced frequent flyer program reciprocity

 

More customer benefits made possible by the Northeast Alliance will be coming soon, including expanded international codeshare itineraries and an improved on-the-ground connecting experience at New York-JFK.
