NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– JetBlue and TAP Air Portugal announced they are extending their existing partnership with the addition of reciprocal point earning and redemption for award travel, available now. Members of JetBlue’s TrueBlue loyalty program and of TAP’s Miles&Go program are now able to earn and redeem points using the program of their choice when flying across either network. It marks the first time JetBlue TrueBlue members can redeem TrueBlue points for flights on one of JetBlue’s European airline partners.
“We continue to look for more ways to reward our customers and provide them with the high-value travel experiences and point-earning opportunities they love from JetBlue,” said Chris Buckner, vice president of loyalty and partnerships, JetBlue. “This partnership expansion provides both TrueBlue and TAP Miles&Go members more ways to earn and redeem on travel, more options to tailor their travel journey, and makes exploring both networks even more rewarding.”
“We value this cooperation that will enable our customers extended ways to earn and redeem, through an extended airline network. We look forward to achieving milestones together,” said Sofia Lufinha, Chief Customer Officer at TAP Air Portugal.
Customers can now earn and redeem TrueBlue points to destinations like Lisbon and Porto in Portugal as well as destinations in Africa and beyond through TAP’s international network. The customer loyalty benefits also arrive on the heels of JetBlue’s recent European expansion announcement of daily nonstop summer seasonal service from Boston to Madrid, Spain, and Edinburgh, Scotland.
