You may have just gotten a rep that wasn't knowledgeable in how update the FF number and info. I got a dud myself who said I'd have to talk to QR to have them update that info, but other jetblue agents handled it fine without issue.

Interestingly, I'm playing around with QR's website now and it's not showing availability on the NYC-LON routes where expertflyer says there is a lot of P class avail. It's working on JFK-CDG though, haven't tested other routes.

Zolor23 - were you able to update this information ?
Oh yes, sorry for not updating! I did figure out how to get the reservation to show up on my account and choose seats, but I don't think I can add a frequent flyer number. I didn't see a point to do that as I assume this wouldn't be points earning anyway.

If you look at the PDF in the email Qatar Airways should've sent you with the title "Your Electronic Receipt" - there are two booking reference numbers on the top left. The bottom of the two should say "B6/XXXXXX" - use the six digit number as the confirmation code to plug into the Jetblue website and it should populate the trip. The only thing you can really do is choose seats from that page, but that was the most important thing for me.

EDIT: I just messaged a rep to add frequent flyer number b/c why not and the rep. said my ticket (Mint) did not include checked bags. Not sure if that's true or the rep was mistaken.
