NEW YORK, NY --(Marketwired - March 18, 2014) - JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) recognizes the struggles that today's air travelers have in making sure their loyalty really does get rewarded, especially with the many recent changes to other carriers' frequent flier programs. Today, JetBlue is launching two ways for customers to see what sets its loyalty program, TrueBlue, apart from the rest:
-
Mosaic status match - Anyone with specified status in qualifying loyalty programs (a) will automatically be eligible for TrueBlue Mosaic® through 2014 simply by signing up for the Challenge.
-
TrueBlue Mosaic® Challenge - Anyone who flies enough to meet the Challenge earns Mosaic benefits for the remainder of 2014 and 2015 (a).
"As other carriers devalue their loyalty programs for most of their fliers, TrueBlue is actually strengthening its value for members. In fact, we recently introduced features such as points that don't expire and Family Pooling," said Kelly Roe, JetBlue's director of loyalty and partnerships. "This is a great opportunity for travelers enrolled in other airline loyalty programs to see what makes TrueBlue and Mosaic unique. Our existing TrueBlue members now have a faster path to earn Mosaic and receive even more benefits."
Match and Challenge Details:
Starting today through April 18, 2014, TrueBlue members can sign up for the Mosaic Challenge.
Anyone with the specified status in one of the qualifying airline loyalty programs will be eligible for automatic Mosaic status match through 2014 when they sign up for the Mosaic Challenge (a). All that is required is proof of current status. Anyone is eligible to sign up for the Challenge, regardless of their status on other carriers.
Customers who complete the challenge, where participants have 90 days to earn 3,750 base (qualifying) flight points, will receive Mosaic status for the rest of 2014 through December 31, 2015 (a). Base flight points equate to three points per $1 a customer earns on the base fare of their individual JetBlue flight.
