Amazon Purchases No Longer Earn JetBlue Points

JetBlue has sent out an e-mail to loyalty members informing them that effective 3/27/18 you will no longer earn 3 JetBlue points per $1 spent on Amazon purchases unless you’re logged into Fly-Fi during JetBlue flights.

This is a huge negative change as jetBlue was the only portal that earned points on all Amazon purchases. Other portals only earn points on specific categories. JetBlue first offered earning points in late 2016. They excluded Amazon giftcard purchases in July 2017. Your options going forward will be:

It’s also worth keeping in mind that there is a lot of ways to save money on Amazon, we compile a full list of those here.

If we use the DoC link, than switch to amazonsmile, do you still get paid?

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem, but when I tried to shop Amazon through the JetBlue portal earlier today, I got this message:

“Sad face
We’ll be right back
JetBlue.com is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance and is temporarily unavailable. Full service to the website should be restored shortly. Please check back soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

I just checked again now a few hours later, and it’s still there. I wonder if it’s already dead 🙁

Sad either way!

Well, as of now the whole site is not really working. Really hoping that it will pop back up before it ends…

Extremely sad. One of the best kept secrets <3. I wonder if someone abused the 3x…

Yup. Someone made 300k points abusing it. Another guy got 750k but for valid business spending

RIP. Earned almost 500,000 B6 points because of this in the year that I used it. Stack that on top of earning 5% on Amazon GCs before and this was a sweet deal.

Turn out the lights, the party’s over ….. Well, t’was good while it lasted. Classy of my 2nd favorite airline (after LUV) to at least give us some notice…. and not try to spin this as “good news.” Concur with the poster below who noted that the Jetblue 3% was often a very good incentive to push more of my bdns towards Amazon. That’s now lost. and nope, I won’t be going out of my way (ever) to fly JB so I ‘kin buy stuff from amazon. *tic

Lol, don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. This paid for a few flights for me already. What a great promo!
