True Blue and AA Advantage
Hi.
I just booked a flight with jetblue but for the first time via JB I used my AA Advantge number when I purchased it.

How does this work then?

Do i get trueblue points or do i get miles added to my AAA number?
Or maybe a little bit of both?

Please help me out with this info

Thanks in advance!

Earning AA miles depends on the route that you are flying. The allowed routes are listed here.

http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/ea...es/jetBlue.jsp

Not sure if you can earn on both programs if you hypothetically flew STI-BOS-SFO (earn B6 points on STI-BOS and AA miles on BOS-SFO. I see you have DR where you are from so I gave an example

To be safe I would just apply everything to TrueBlue unless the AA miles would make or break you obtaining elite status.

EDIT: Here's what you can earn on TrueBlue for AA operated Transatlantic, TransPacific, and Deep South America flights from BOS/JFK

The B6 flights credited to AA don't count towards status anyways so they won't help the OP if that's the goal. :-:

You will only earn AA miles on certain flights on B6 out of BOS or JFK (Click the link in pervious post for more info). You will earn the actual miles flown and they will not count towards any status. They will count, however, toward your overall flight miles earned in the AA Aavantage program.

On a somewhat related matter, I really wish B6 and AA would enhance this relationship. How amazing would it be if the relationship was similar to that of AA and AS - reciprocal elite recognition, etc.

I would love it, but I doubt it will happen because B6 doesn't have elite status.

Sure they do. It is called Mosaic.

I thought Mosaic was just a promo to earn more points this year and not an elite status like Gold or Silver on AA?

I guess AA and B6 could give reciprocal recognition and I hope they do.

Earning AAdvantage miles while flying B6, is it only on the non-stops? If I fly from BOS through JFK on a listed earning route - say, to PHX - does it earn? If so, all the way, or just for the latter leg(s) outbound, first leg inbound? Thank you.

They're careful to make as much of it explicit as they can, and I don't see this ruled out.

[Searches/due diligence landed me here for my question. If there's a better thread, mod please have your way with me...]

The key to remember is that this is a partnership in some cases but not in others. Basically, the routes that qualify are routes where B6 does not directly compete with AA.

Earning AA on a B6 BOS-PHX flight? Yes, because AA doesn't operate that route.

Earning AA on a B6 BOS-DFW flight? Absolutely NOT. It's direct competition with AA.

No. Except that JFK-PHX is listed so you earn on that. But not on the BOS-JFK route as that's not a listed one.

SFO is an easier example to explain, perhaps. BOS-SFO is included but JFK-SFO is not. BOS-JFK-SFO on B6 metal would earn nil in AAdvantage. JFK-BOS-SFO would earn for the BOS-SFO route because it is covered.

Got it. "Route" does not equal "routing". Non-stops only, even though BOS-PHX as well as JFK-PHX are both listed (same with BOS-RSW and JFK-RSW, and some others). Ah, well. It was just wishful thinking about the first and last couple hundred miles. Thank you.
