Flying High At Five: JetBlue's TrueBlue Program Turns Five, Registers Five Millionth Member
 
NEW YORK, NY  (rushprnews) June 13, 2007-- JetBlue Airways Corporation (Nasdaq:JBLU) today celebrates the fifth birthday of TrueBlue, the award-winning low-cost carrier's customer loyalty program.

TrueBlue, which offers fliers easy-to-earn, easy-to-redeem awards for travel across JetBlue's network of 54 popular destinations, reached another milestone this week as it registered its five millionth member.

"For five years our customers have come to love TrueBlue's simplicity and the ease with which they can find and book award seats," said Dave Canty, JetBlue's Director of Loyalty Marketing. "As TrueBlue turns five, we want to thank our five million members for their continued loyalty. We look forward to continue recognizing our most faithful fliers with exciting new enhancements to the TrueBlue program in the coming months."

TrueBlue, which launched in 2002, has experienced a nearly 40% year-over-year membership growth rate since its inception. Unlike traditional frequent flier programs, TrueBlue members earn points instead of 'miles' for flights flown. Each JetBlue routes is classified as short, medium or long-haul, and customers can earn points for each one-way trip: two points for a short flight; four points for a medium flight; and six points for a long flight. Points are automatically doubled when TrueBlue members book via www.jetblue.com. A free roundtrip flight, valid for travel to any of JetBlue's destinations across the U.S., Bermuda, Mexico and the Caribbean, is awarded immediately after a customer reaches 100 points(a).

Customers can earn TrueBlue points even faster by using the JetBlue Card from American Express. Every time Cardmembers purchase JetBlue travel with the Card, or earn at least one TrueBlue point through other purchasing using the Card, all TrueBlue points in the member's account automatically extend for another 12 months. The low-fare airline also offers the JetBlue Business Card from American Express, which allows small business owners to save 5% on JetBlue flights when payment is made with the JetBlue Business Card(b). Now, in addition to providing consumers a way to earn TrueBlue points when they are not flying, JetBlue's American Express Card products makes it possible for them to accrue points without worrying about point expiration dates. Currently, only the primary JetBlue Cardmember has the ability to extend their TrueBlue point expiration dates.
