Qatar Airways Privilege Club members can now earn Qmiles of flights operated by JetBlue, while TrueBlue members can earn points while traveling with Qatar Airways. The new reciprocal loyalty benefits will further strengthen the airlines existing partnership.
On Tuesday (November 16, 2021), Qatar Airways announced the launch of a new reciprocal loyalty partnership with JetBlue, further strengthening the existing partnership between the airlines. Qatar Airways Privilege Club members and JetBlue TrueBlue members will now earn Qmiles or points when flying on either airline. Privilege Club members can now connect beyond Qatar Airways’ US gateways with over 100 cities in the US, the Caribbean and Central America in JetBlue’s network, while earning Qmiles. This brings the total number of destinations in the Americas to over 300 cities, allowing Privilege Club members to earn Qmiles when flying with Qatar Airways’ partner airlines. In the coming months, Privilege Club members will also be able to use Qmiles to fly with JetBlue.
In Tuesday’s announcement, Qatar Airways’ SVP – Revenue Management, Strategic Alliances and Loyalty, Mark AP Drusch, said,
“Qatar Airways is offering its valued Privilege Club members more options to earn Qmiles as they connect to different corners of the world through the loyalty partnership with JetBlue, expanding reward opportunities for them. We are proud to be expanding our network in the Americas to over 300 destinations through our strengthened partnership with JetBlue, by offering services to more states than any other airline.”
Also commenting on the new loyalty partnership, JetBlue’s Head of marketing and Loyalty, Ms. Jayne O’Brien, said,
“Adding the ability to earn points or Qmiles across our two loyalty programmes gives both JetBlue TrueBlue members as well as Qatar Airways Privilege Club members even more value and versatility when flying on either carrier. When combined with our robust codesharing partnership, earning points or Qmiles further strengthens the partnership between our two airlines and makes it easier for our loyal customers to get rewarded more often.”
