Overview
- TrueBlue and MileagePlus members can now earn on the operating carrier and redeem for partner flights, with award tickets booked through each program’s own website or app.
- To accrue credit, travelers must enter their loyalty number when booking on the operating carrier’s site, and partner award options now display in search on both airlines’ platforms.
- United has excluded earning on JetBlue between Newark and Aruba, Cancun, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Punta Cana, with eligible fare classes otherwise published for accrual.
- JetBlue says TrueBlue members earn 5x points per dollar on United flights, plus an extra 3x for Mosaic members, while early reviews report scarce premium seats and poor redemption value in many cases.
- Next steps include reciprocal elite perks and revenue booking in early 2026, and United’s planned return to JFK via up to seven daily roundtrips using JetBlue slots as early as 2027.
