(TAN): Qatar Airways and JetBlue are launching a reciprocal loyalty partnership, bringing additional perks to members of both airlines’ loyalty programmes. Qatar Airways Privilege Club members can now earn Qmiles on flights operated by JetBlue and JetBlue TrueBlue members can earn points on Qatar Airways flights, according to a press release.
Privilege Club members can now fly to more destinations across the US, the Caribbean and Central America, by connecting beyond Qatar Airways’ US gateways onto JetBlue’s network of 100 cities, while earning Qmiles. This brings the total number of destinations in the Americas to more than 300 cities, allowing Privilege Club members to earn Qmiles when they fly with our partner airlines.
Privilege Club members can also look forward to using their Qmiles to fly with JetBlue, an option which will be made available in the coming months. This will provide Privilege Club members with more flexibility to enjoy award flights when flying in the United States, the Caribbean and Central America.
Qatar Airways Senior Vice President 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.”
Head of Marketing & Loyalty of JetBlue, 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.”
Privilege Club members can earn Qmiles when flying with Qatar Airways, oneworld airlines, and other airline partners, as well as with a number of financial and lifestyle partners.
