I'll still post here, cause with all the paid airline travel I'll be doing with this new job, I'll be sure to have plenty of questions when it comes to freq flyer miles
jetblue has a pretty weak frequent flyer program. You get 8 points for each transcon r/t, and it takes 100 points for a free ticket. That's more than 12 r/ts.
On American, anyone earns a free ticket after 5 r/ts, and an elite with 100% bonus can earn a free ticket after 2½ r/ts.
FTers tend to grouse about AA a lot, but its the AAdvantage program that keeps many of us flying. AA knows why we fly!
