- 3x per dollar is NOT earned on top of the 3,000 points
- Allow 30 days for points to post

Our Verdict
Really excellent deal. Assuming you value Jetblue points at one penny or more, it’s a $30+ rebate on the $99 fee.
You can always earn 3x JetBlue points per dollar spent, and that works even on Prime membership as per the terms. But that just gets 297 points (3 x 99) while this gets you 3,000 points.
The FAQ states the following: “What if I am already an Amazon Prime member? This promotion is only for new Amazon Prime members, so you would not be eligible for the 3,000 TrueBlue points promotion.” I wonder what will happen if you cancel your Prime membership and then go through the JetBlue link to signup again (which will extend your membership).
There are a couple of other deals to get Prime membership if you prefer:
- 30 day free trial (our affiliate link)
- Low-income households can pay $5.99 per month
- Students can get six months free thanks to Sprint (our affiliate link)
- Ibotta offering $20 Amazon gift card
- Topcashback is offering $15 cash back
As always don’t forget to stack discounts at Amazon as well. We keep our guide to saving money on Amazon fully up to date.
I piggyback on my parents’ membership, so I don’t have full prime (no streaming music/video). I wonder if I sign up for this as a full member if it will work…?
I think it would work
Thanks, was hopeful it would. Little wary that any kind of portal stacking would work with this though. What do you think?
I was a month to month subscriber and my membership ended yesterday. I set it to not renew. Today I was able to receive the promo for 3K points. Also if you buy an amazon gift card before joining for just under the total amount due for prime you can use the gift card balance and then remaining couple of bucks put on your credit card. I only mention it because you can get 5X UR points with Chase Ink going through PPDG to buy the amazon gift card.
Thanks, DoC…just signed up through TrueBlue and charged the fee to my AmexGold, which had a special offer of 2,000 additional Membership Rewards points for a purchase of $50 or more from Amazon.
Nice =)
This is an exclusive, one-time only promotion for 3,000 points and only first-time Amazon Prime customers signing-up through their special promotional link on the Points for Prime page are eligible for this promotion.
You have to be the first-time prime customer according to the fine prints. Don’t know if this is strictly enforced yet.
Is this expired early? https://trueblue.jetblue.com/web/trueblue/prime just redirects me to https://trueblue.jetblue.com/group/trueblue/my-trueblue-home without showing any promo.
Same question.
My wife had a full Prime membership and cancelled 2 years ago. If she applies now, will that be considered “new”?
I think it will, but no guarantees.
Has anyone been able to successfully get this to work? I get the following error:
You don’t have permission to access “http://trueblue.jetblue.com/group/amazonOffer?” on this server.
Reference #18.f3ce8f18.1493668465.15594ea5
That happens if I click on the link from the JetBlue page when I’m NOT logged in to my JetBlue account. If I am logged in, it automatically redirects me to my account home page, from which I cannot navigate to the offer. Tried on multiple web browsers, all do the same thing.
Hey LIz, that looks like a VPN error (you are on a VPN and they block it).
Am thinking to get a VPN. Any good deal and recommendations?
Whtat if you cancel your prime get a prorated refund and then sign up with jetblue promo? Is tht possible?
I’m not sure if Prime prorates, have to google that. The basic idea should work, I’d guess.
What if your a month to month member but use this link to become an annual subscriber? Would that qualify?
