Earn JetBlue points thu Amazon
 

I received a targeted email from JetBlue to earn 3 TrueBlue points /dollar spent on Amazon via an emailed link,so watch your inboxes.

I just googled "Jetblue Amazon" and the first result had

https://trueblue.jetblue.com/web/trueblue/amazon

Is this promotion for a limited time ?

Jet Blue doesn't fly out of MSP so I have no use for JB points right now bur rumors are they might start soon.

I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and may as well get some points for it.

Sounds like a permanent partnership to me. I have never flown B6 and they don't serve my home airport, but I might as well collect free points when I buy stuff from Amazon.

Does this mean that the offer is valid for only one 24 hour period per member, or that you need to click through from JetBlue at least once each 24 hours?

I just tested it with a Amazon gift card purchase. Will report back if/when the points post

It seems the JB has a program where families can combine points, I was going to have my wife make all her Amazon purchases under my account ( if the points would post) but now it seems like I can create a Jet blue account for her and we can combine points.

Same here but MSP terminal 2 has about 15 new gates due to a recent expansion, most are unused and rumor has it they are trying to get JBlue.

Is B6 slang for Jetblue similar to WN for Southwest ?

Not slang, it's the IATA code for JetBlue. Same for WN. You'll see these commonly used on Flyertalk (and beyond).

See http://i.imgur.com/qcos5eW.png (via http://aviation.stackexchange.com/qu...s-iata-code-b6) for why JetBlue apparently ended up with B6.

You have to click through once every 24 hours. It is tied to the way affiliate links work with online retailers. Also, be careful with ad-block tools. Some of those can block the tracking cookies that affiliate systems use and you won't get the credit you think you've earned.
It is not targeted. It is a wide-open promotion.

Nothing lasts forever but this is not being presented as a limited promo. It is a new partnership that I expect to run for at least a year if not longer. And TrueBlue points do not expire, so no harm in collecting them.

Has anyone seen their points post yet? I've used it a few times but haven't seen any points post to TrueBlue yet. It's been about a week since my last Amazon via JetBlue portal purchase

I don't mean to be negative about the TrueBlue/ShopTrue shopping portal but it sucks. I find it typically takes 60-90 days to see points post.

In comparison, when I use the American or United shopping portals, the miles post in 2-5 days.

From the Amazon/TrueBlue Q&A:

Q: When can I expect my TrueBlue points to be credited to my account?
A: TrueBlue points should be credited to your TrueBlue account within 60 days AFTER your purchase has been shipped. If you have not received your points, please contact TrueBlue support.

Ah okay I hadn't seen that. I've never used TB shopping portal before. Still better than nothing but I won't expect to see anything for a while

I didn't realize this program had been around for so long but it's good to see that someone has had points post.


Do you know any other way to earn points on Amazon ? Amazon has some of ( if not the best) the best prices around so you are probably paying more using AA or UA which is why they can give miles.

We order a lot of stuff on prime so as long as the points post at some point it's a lot better than the big fat zero we have been getting for the past 3 or so years

The Amazon partnership has not been around long enough for anyone to have points post from it AFAIK.

Buy gift cards with a points-earning card. Of course, you can still do that with this new partnership and potentially triple dip on the earning if you use the United MileagePlusX app to buy the gift cards.

I thought the poster said it TOOK 60 - 90 days for his points to post but as a read his post again it appears he was referring to other Jet Blue mall purchases.

I realize that, I meant a way to earn points on Amazon purchases besides what the credit card would give you. AFAIK no other airline, hotel, etc gives points for purchases on Amazon.

B6 doesn't even fly out of my home airport ( yet ?) so I don't have a B6 credit card. I do however buy a lot of stuff on Amazon so if they want to give me B6 points I'm sure I'll find a way to use them someday

Another data point here. I shopped on Amazon through the JetBlue link as soon as I saw it blogged, but haven't had any points show up yet. Seems like a double dip no brainer, though having to always click through the link is annoying.

Has anyone seen points from this yet? I have not. Coming up on 60 days, so not surprised, but that's a long time to wait to see if the extra effort is even working.

As stated in the Terms and Conditions:
It says "at least" and not "within" so don't hold your breath.

Nothing.

I just received my Amazon Affiliate payout details for November purchases. I expect to receive the December statement at the end of February or even Early March (Dec 2015 was received on 27 Feb; Dec 2011 on 1 Mar). Figure a couple days after that for the company to get the points into the accounts.

I'd be VERY surprised if anything comes sooner than that.

I just got off the phone with their customer service. When I mentioned Amazon she said that they were recently advised that because it was a new partner integration that it will likely take longer than the 60 days mentioned. She said to give it another 30 days but it could be sooner. She also said that they do not have any information on whether or not my purchases registered.

As I just blogged, my points hit yesterday, so pretty much right at 60 days. Great to see my purchases were actually being tracked, though I'm bothered by the inability to/difficulty in auditing the points I expected to receive via Amazon purchases against the points that actually showed up in my TrueBlue account.

Mine just showed up at as well. Purchases from ~22 Dec.

I had been checking my account just about weekly and I just checked today and saw two purchases; however, it only shows two purchases near the end of December and I could've sworn I had a few more purchases before that.

Mine posted also. I just says shopping 600 points......this is from my first purchase of a $200 Amazon gift card so more should show up

To back up this data point, I too have had JB points post after purchasing e-gift cards with a credit card around Christmas.

Mine finally posted 2 days ago from a mid-December purchase.

Good to know - thanks for posting this.

I need to purchase more Amazon GCs because my Amazon gift card balance is low. In the past, I've always gone over to OD/OM and purchased Amazon GC using my Ink card. The 5x from office supply stores is great.

But I've got 2 new AmEx credit cards with minimum spend to meet, so I'm tempted to use the B6 shopping portal to go to Amazon and purchase a gift card on Amazon. If I understand, this should net 3 B6 points per dollar + 1 MR point per dollar (and help me towards my minimum spend). (I think that's acceptable in lieu of 5x on Ink.) If I have misinterpreted, please correct me.

If you want to wait months for the points it's ok as we can't earn points for shoping at Amazon anywhere else

We don't have B6 at MSP so it's no big deal for us so we are accumulating these points hoping someday B6 is here. I have made many more purchases and only the 600 points has shown up so far.

My wife use Amazon often and always goes through the link and still has zero points.

My local grocery store ( Hyvee ) has 20 cents off per gallon of gas ( and a few times a year the throw in a $10 hyvee gift card) per $100 in gift cards purchased. They carry Amazon cards so If I was making a spend I would take that deal over the B6 points which may never show up.

After one purchases Amazon gift cards (grocery store, MileagePlus X, etc.) and applies the balance to an Amazon account, there's nothing that precludes one from going through the affiliate link for B6 points when making actual purchases.

Does this only work on the US version of Amazon?

Also, is there any way to collect points on Kindle book purchases?

No idea - perhaps in the T&C if there are any?

I'd assume (but haven't verified) that if you buy the book via the Amazon website and launched it through the Jetblue link, it should just be the same as if you ordered a toaster.

I can't believe I missed that, I guess it shows what little interest I have in this program


Still sitting at 600 points, my guess is that I should have about 3k

Wife has zero points and should have about 3K also

We have a thread for this in the B6 forums. Link here

I've banked just over 3k miles just from normal spends on Amazon as of now. Points take 60+ days to post for most people. I've been having them post almost exactly on day 60. A few posters have been seeing 30 day post cycles for daily usage.
