In late 2016, JetBlue and Amazon introduced a partnership that allows TrueBlue members to earn bonus points for shopping with Amazon. Specifically, you've been able to earn three bonus TrueBlue points per dollar spent on Amazon purchases, either when using JetBlue's unique Amazon link, or when making Amazon purchases inflight through JetBlue's Fly-Fi service. Unfortunately…

A true loss...I guess it was to good to last too long.
I would’ve even be happy if hey scaled it back to x1 but to completely kill it ??!? Oh well
One of the best shopping portal partnerships of all time. Was thinking over the holidays that it was surprising to see it last as long as it did. Sorry to see it end, but looking forward to my Mint flights in May.
I wonder how much of this was influenced by people constantly calling JetBlue to find out where their points were instead of waiting a couple months for them to post? Certainly it must have added to their costs.
Im sad to see this go. Now the only rewards you can get are for shopping portals on brick and mortar retailers
Well now I'll just cue up all my Amazon purchases in my cart and wait until my next jetBlue flight to buy;)
Bummer for sure. I have a construction project coming up and was going to buy a ton of stuff on Amazon. I would’ve seriously racked up a few Mint flights especially at the $399 prices lately.
MileagePlus X seems to allow you to earn miles on both Amazon and eBay. However the earning rates seem to be quite poor compared to jetBlue and Amazon.
It never worked for me, even though I always clicked through that link from my Jetblue account. I wrote to Jetblue, they said they did not know why. Then one purchase showed up, but never after that.
Someone said that it was only for Amazon Prime members, but I could not find this info on their website.
I thought I got to you first,,, oh well, i believe it was only for prime members but i got a good 14k+ points since you originally posted about it so thank you lucky, i am sad to see this go but i do have 2 jetblue flights this year im tempted to save items in my cart (if i can remember) im sad to see this partnership and the link on my toolbar go away
how do you get 5% for amazon purchases? maybe go through a list of the different ways to maximize points on amazon?
Given that I forgot to go through the portal 90% of the time, I can't say this will make much of a difference for me. But had I been more on the ball, and given how much my family uses Amazon (literally 5-6 deliveries a week), this could have been a big one for me.
Too bad, it really engaged me in the JetBlue program. At a certain point that means diverting flights to them, seeking mosaic status, etc. I wasn't quite at that point yet, but am certain I would be eventually
I had just learned of this little "perk" so I'm sad that I didn't get to utilize for more than one or two Amazon orders. Had I known, I might have placed a order on my flight the other day but I thought I could come home and place that order. Too bad they didn't just scale it back instead.
i am sad to see it go. i would have personally kept using jetblue just because of that. now i would look to another airline first.
