JetBlue has announced in an email to its members that it is effectively ending its relationship with Amazon on March 27, 2018. Starting March 28, 2018, you'll no longer be able to earn 3x miles on Amazon purchases, unless you complete your purchase onboard a JetBlue flight. Time to book a JetBlue flight to buy what you need on Amazon?
Other Options
Earning JetBlue TrueBlue rewards was our favorite way to earn when shopping with Amazon, but there are alternatives, and keep in mind, you don't need to shop at Amazon all the time! There are plenty of other shopping portals out there, and while Amazon is one of the most difficult to earn big with, there are options.
Our Take
JetBlue deciding to terminate its partnership with Amazon is sad since it was an easy way to pick up TrueBlue rewards, but it was nice while it lasted. Get your purchases in before the bonus points are no longer available.

I heard that was going away too, no? Better to use Ink 5x at office supply stores for these
Aeroplan is picking up where jet blue left off and we can earn miles with Aeroplan starting this month
Only through Amazon.ca, so not really much of an interest in the US.
Amazon seems to be ending all kinds of earning opportunities. I am sure their thought is with the market share that they own why do they need to give this benefits to shop?
This is a shame, but I generally use my United Plus X app to get United points (but only .5 per dollar) for AMazon, so I’ll continue to do this. I kept thinking I’d try to g through the JetBlue portal and then use United Plus X, but never got around to figuring it out. Oh,well.
I made my last purchases through the JetBlue portal with Amazon a couple of days ago. The points should show up in about a month. It was great while it lasted but I was always aware that this was a deal that just couldn’t continue. So when I got the email, I was disappointed but not surprised. At least they gave us a few weeks warning.
This is so sad! I will miss earning 3x at Amazon.
You can still get 0.5 miles per dollar spent at amazon through buying gift cards on the mileage plus explorer app.
Thats not a surprise. Same thing happened with Hawaiian too. And JetBlue has no good transfer partners as well. Never used it
It was nice while it lasted.
This hint to https://www.cashbackmonitor.com/cashback-store/amazon/ is a great one! Thank you!
So it seems the only possibility is making purchase while flying with JetBlue.
At least the offer is not completely dead!
Too bad it ended
To bad some of my first purchases through JB didn’t count as they were already in my cart. I look at/use the cart to see the price fluctuation and buy at the low point.
Amazon is so big now it is hard believe that partnerships, particularly with cashback or miles earning websites would drive a single extra customer in their direction. It will mostly just be people who would have shopped there anyway without the miles or cashback.
I guess a lot of Amazon customers where making too much true blue points , what were JetBlue execs thinking when they came up with the idea to let Amazon customers earn points when shopping on Amazon .
I guess it’s back to earning JetBlue points mostly through Amex transfers? Is there a better way rather than spending on their own co-branded card?
Spend on the card is the best.
I loved this! Pity to see it go. I’m sure too many people took advantage of it and it was too much. I doubt I’ll be on a JetBlue flight enough to really take advantage of this, which I’m sure is the point. At least I got a good amount while it was available. It took forever for them to credit so I wonder if you buy something on the 27th, if they’ll credit it? I had another promo with another company which changed and they didn’t credit it even though I bought something before they expiration date.
Didn’t even know about this one!
So sad to hear this is ending!!
I enjoyed this benefit. Never knew if you would get the points. But def never got the amount of points as advertised. Never bothered them for the missing points. I have bugged other shopping portals when it was large enough purchase.
What’s next? Expiration date for TrueBlue rewards?
Hogwash I say!
This is a bummer, there used to be some other airlines that offered miles for Amazon purchases and those also ended.
What a pity this is ending…
This breaks my heart.
Howie, any other good ways to earn points from Amazon purchases?
Look through the portals mentioned — example: https://www.cashbackmonitor.com/cashback-store/amazon/
I got the email a week ago. No I have to cancel my daily email reminder to click through JetBlue when shopping Amazon.
I used this a whole bunch, and still didn’t use this nearly enough.
That’s too bad, it was such a nice way to keep adding a little bit of miles here and there.
Amazon just passed Alphabet as the second most valuable company… yet this
Lol, I doubt it is Amazon that drove the decision to end the partnership.
