JetBlue expands TrueBlue redemptions with Condor Airlines partnership

In addition to redeeming points for award travel on Condor flights, JetBlue customers can also earn TrueBlue points when purchasing cash fares with the German airline. However, these earned points will not count toward Mosaic elite status qualification; elite status must be achieved through spending on JetBlue-specific flights or cobranded credit cards.

"Through our collaboration with Condor, TrueBlue members now have more ways to turn their loyalty into meaningful travel experiences," said Ed Pouthier, JetBlue's vice president of loyalty and personalization. "We're proud to continue growing the TrueBlue program in ways that meet the needs of today's traveler by offering access to a wider range of destinations around the world."

Condor joins other JetBlue partners like TAP Air Portugal, Icelandair, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways as an “earn and redeem” partner. In contrast, some partners only allow earning or redeeming but not both. For example, Japan Airlines is a “redeem-only” partner while Singapore Airlines is an “earn-only” partner.

This move comes as JetBlue works to expand its network of airline partnerships and increase the value of its loyalty program. The company’s upcoming “Blue Sky” partnership with United Airlines is expected to launch soon.

TrueBlue members can book eligible award flights operated by Condor and add their membership number through JetBlue’s website or mobile app.
