JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping: Earn bonus points when you shop

If you regularly use the JetBlue TrueBlue loyalty program and the value of earning JetBlue points, you should know how to use JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping.

In short, using JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping allows you to earn bonus JetBlue points on other everyday purchases you’ve already made. You’ll find two ways to earn bonus points by using JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping: online shopping and card-linked offers. So, here’s what you need to know.

JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping portal

Savvy shoppers know that many loyalty programs offer online shopping sites that allow you to earn bonus points or miles when you shop online. Using an online shopping site like JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping doesn’t take much time or effort, so the bonus rewards often make it worth adding an extra step to your online shopping process.

For example, let’s assume you want to buy a new litter box from Bed Bath & Beyond. If you click through the JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping portal before making a purchase, you can earn a certain number of JetBlue points per dollar spent. Even better, these points come in addition to the rewards you earn for paying for your purchases with a rewards credit card.

Best of all, you’ll still shop on the Bed Bath & Beyond website for the same price as if you hadn’t clicked through to an online shopping site.

How to use JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping

To use JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping, navigate to the website, and log in using the same username and password you use when you log in to the JetBlue website. Select the merchant you want to use, click through the TrueBlue Shopping portal to that merchant and shop normally with that merchant. It’s that simple.

Here’s a step-by-step example of what it looks like to use the JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping portal in action. Start by clicking “Login” in the upper right corner of the TrueBlue Shopping website, then enter your regular JetBlue login information on the next page.

Once you’re logged in, search for your store or product in the search bar. For example, I typed “home” and clicked on “Home Depot.”

Once I’m on Home Depot’s landing page in the shopping portal, I see the earning rate – which is a low of 0.5 points per dollar – and other important information. For example, I realize that some purchases earn a higher rate and I must receive my bonus points within 31 days of qualifying purchases.

If I want to shop through Home Depot, I can click the “Shop Now” button and shop as usual on the Home Depot website. Any eligible purchases during that shopping period should automatically earn JetBlue points. You don’t have to use a JetBlue credit card when paying, although we recommend using a rewards card to earn extra points or miles on your purchases.

Pitfalls to avoid when using JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping

It’s easy to use JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping to earn bonus points when you shop online. However, you’ll want to be careful how you interact with the TrueBlue Shopping site to ensure you’re earning your bonus points as expected. Here are some tips:

• If you leave the merchant’s website after clicking on the TrueBlue Shopping portal, return to the portal and click on the merchant’s website again before adding items to your cart and making a purchase.
• If you’ve been browsing a merchant’s site without clicking through to a portal, clear the items in your cart and close that browser window before clicking on TrueBlue Shopping to start a new shopping session.
• You must enable Internet browser cookies in TrueBlue Shopping to track your purchases with the merchant correctly.
• Avoid using promotional codes that you did not receive through the TrueBlue Shopping site, as using other codes may prevent you from earning rewards.
• Read your retailer’s purchase conditions to ensure your purchase is eligible.

In short, the important things to remember are to enable browser cookies and make sure you click on TrueBlue Shopping immediately before adding items to your cart and checking out with a participating merchant. If you do, you will probably earn points through the JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping portal without any problems.

Offers linked to the JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping card

JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping also has card-linked offers. These offers are similar to American AAdvantage SimplyMiles offers in that you register payment cards in the program, sign up for offers at certain merchants, and then earn rewards when you use the registered card to make eligible purchases at the participating merchant. in the application.

To get started with card-linked offers, visit the JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping website, log in and click the “Card-Linked Offers” tab near the top of the page. Then, click “My Cards.”

You will see the following message if you do not yet have the cards registered to your account.

You can check the box and click “Register New Card” to add the card to your account. You can add up to 10 cards to your account, all of which must be US-issued Visa, Mastercard or American Express cards.

You’ll find a variety of card-linked offers with TrueBlue Shopping. You can choose to see the offers alphabetically or sort them by the number of points you will earn, the most popular offers or the latest offers.

Once you find an offer you like, click on it, read the terms of purchase and click “Register Card.” Then, use a registered card when making a qualifying purchase with a merchant.

It is best to wait 24 hours after signing up for the offer to make a purchase; otherwise, your purchase may not be tracked properly. If you use a debit card to make a purchase, make sure the merchant processes the transaction as credit (meaning you’ll need to sign for the purchase).

Bottom line

Before making any online purchases, I use a shopping aggregator portal to compare prices across multiple online shopping sites. But if you’re primarily interested in earning JetBlue points, the TrueBlue Shopping site can offer many compelling opportunities. It’s also worth checking the offers linked to the card from time to time for any offers from retailers you usually shop at.
