American Express And Jetblue Airways Extend Partnership With New Cobrand Credit Card Agreement

American Express and JetBlue Airways today announced an agreement to issue a cobrand credit card to consumers later this summer that will allow Cardmembers to earn Award Dollars convertible to points in JetBlues Flight Gratitude program, TrueBlue®. The JetBlue Card from American Express will help consumers earn travel rewards fast and attract new customers, who value rewards-rich credit cards and low-cost, customer-focused air travel. The agreement is the first of its kind for JetBlue and builds on the existing successful relationship American Express has with JetBlue as a merchant and recent airline partner in its Membership Rewards® program. The JetBlue Card from American Express will allow Cardmembers to earn Award Dollars that can be converted to TrueBlue points redeemable for JetBlue flights. The Card will come with a low annual fee, a competitive interest rate and offer lots of ways to earn Award Dollars for spending in a variety of lifestyle and entertainment categories, providing consumers with the retail, travel services and benefits that they have come to expect from American Express. Consumers can sign up or “pre-board” to receive more information about the Card, when its available later this summer, by going to www.jetbluecard.com and providing their e-mail address. JetBlues TrueBlue members will be the first to receive Card details and an application. JetBlue has accepted American Express® Cards since its launch in 2000. In December 2004, American Express added JetBlue to its Membership Rewards program for enrolled Cardmembers to transfer points directly into TrueBlue for travel with the airline. The partnership between JetBlues TrueBlue flight gratitude program and American Express Membership Rewards program exceeded the one-year goal within the first three months.
