Singapore Airlines and JetBlue Launch New Mileage Earning Partnership

by James Dozer
Last updated September 19, 2018

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program and yesterday’s announcement between Singapore Airlines and JetBlue is a huge plus for us in the miles and points game. Effective immediately, you can earn KrisFlyer miles when flying on JetBlue flights and earn TrueBlue points when flying Singapore Airlines. Please note: these are award miles you are earning, not elite status miles.

For flights on JetBlue, you will earn the following miles when credited to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer:

  • Business class fares C, D, I and J will earn 125% of mileage flown.
  • Economy class fares B, E, H, K, L, M, Q, R, V, W and Y will earn 100% of mileage flown.
  • Discounted economy class fares O, P, S, U and Z will earn 50% of mileage flown.
  • All other fares will not earn any mileage.

For flights on Singapore Airlines, you will earn the following points when credited to JetBlue TrueBlue:

  • Business class fares C, D, J, U and Z will earn 1 TrueBlue point for every mile flown.
  • Economy class fares B, E, H, L, M, P, S, T, W and Y will earn 1 TrueBlue point for every 2 miles flown.
  • All other fares will not earn any mileage.

It’s interesting to note that they did not list any Singapore Airlines first class or suites class fares as earning any mileage when credited to JetBlue. I’m not sure if this was an oversight or if it was by design.

At this time, they have not announced any plans for redeeming KrisFlyer miles or TrueBlue points for travel on the other airline nor have they released any information on earning elite status miles when flying the other airline.

Bottom Line

This is obviously great news for people who travel on JetBlue and want to credit their miles to a non-revenue based frequent flier program. Given the opportunity, I would choose JetBlue over United any day and it’s great now that I can bank those miles to Singapore Airlines. However, a word of warning for you newbies, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles expire after 36 months regardless of mileage activity. Whereas, JetBlue TrueBlue points don’t expire at all.
