Inside JetBlue's innovative industry-leading loyalty programme.

Inside JetBlue's innovative industry-leading loyalty programme. JetBlue's TrueBlue loyalty programme is among the best in the world. It came eighth in point.me's 2025 loyalty ranking, ahead of Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines. And JetBlue are keen to keep innovating to ensure passengers get the most from their miles. At Aviation Festival Americas 2026, World Aviation Festival sat down with Edward Pouthier, the carrier's VP Loyalty, to hear more about the strategy shaping TrueBlue. Pouthier believes the core ethos behind the programme is what makes it successful: Keep it simple, keep it valuable. With many of JetBlue passengers irregular leisure travellers, TrueBlue needs to be easy to use while providing real benefits so customers keep coming back. Loyalty programmes have evolved to become a daily touchpoint for many, making co-branding and new partnerships more important to engage these passengers beyond their annual flight. Yet Pouthier notes: That doesn't mean that World Aviation Festival don't want them to fly. The touch point of flying is why World Aviation Festival exist, and this is what World Aviation Festival really want to encourage them and make them remember that joy of flying, the joy of travelling. Digital remains the anchor of the TrueBlue product, and personalisation is increasingly playing a role in enhancing the day-to-day value of the programme. The app has become a key target for Pouthier, but it still needs to marry with the service passengers receive inflight. Little touches, such as the seatback screen displaying a custom welcome message and recommending personalised entertainment, need to be mirrored in-app to create a holistic experience. Despite all this technological investment, Pouthier thinks the real standout feature of any loyalty programme is how it makes the customer feel. Most programmes are 'fairly ubiquitous', but he notes that there are major opportunities for airlines to build loyalty during moments of disruption: That's one of the most stressful times of someone's life, when something happens that was not expected during travel. And so, if you're able to deliver an experience that makes them feel safe, that makes them feel heard, and makes them feel protected, that's going to win you a customer for life. Watch the video to get the full interview with Edward Pouthier. Questions asked include: * TrueBlue frequently ranks among the best airlines rewards programmes. Which key features do you think have made the programme a success? * How are customer expectations of loyalty programmes evolving? Have you seen a shift in how TrueBlue members use/accrue miles? * How are you looking to technology to make the programme more personalised and effective? * If you had to pick one factor, what do you think is the most important reason in determining whether a customer sticks with a loyalty programme or changes to another airline?

World Cup is gone. Beer's summer blues remain. Now what?

World Cup is gone. Beer's summer blues remain. Now what? Published: August 14, 2026 illustration: Srishti Bhawal Long before the World Cup first kicked off earlier this summer, Wall Street analysts, industry insiders, and rank-and-file bar owners were already anxiously talking up the potential sales boost it might bring the beleaguered beer business. All those games, all those fans, all those "occasions"... it would have to add up to something, right? But what? "On-site at the venues, whatever beer volume comes out of there is a gift, it's a bonus, and whatever occasions people have off-premise, that's a bonus as well," said Dave Williams, the president at Bump Williams Consulting, speaking to Hop Take in advance of the World Cup in early June 2026. "So even with all of these concerns or challenges, I still think that this is a tidal wave of found occasions and reasons to celebrate." It was the industry's wave to surf, in other words. Beer marketers had some fun along the way. "One of the most viral stories of the tournament so far is the sheer decimation of Boston's beer reserves at the hands of Scotland's fearsomely thirsty 'Tartan Army,'" I wrote in mid-June. "It's a funny story, at [Anheuser-Busch InBev's] expense: 'The Scottish fans just drank the place dry, and all they had [left] was Bud Light,' one eyewitness told the local news." Other brands, including White Claw and Heineken, tried their hand at fast-follow campaigns, with limited success; Boston Beer Company, whose comms team placed this story to begin with, partnered with JetBlue to "fly in" more Boston Lager. This gag sorta just underscored the point that a vanishingly small amount of the beer is actually brewed in Boston, but sure, fine, cute. But enough with the marketing. What of the sales, man? Ah. The World Cup swell has come and gone, and the tournament's tide has finally receded to the point Vinepair can get a sense for how it affected beer sales. The upshot is: not great, Bob! Consider ABI. The company reportedly pumped $110 million into a (very boring) global campaign for Michelob Ultra, and likely gobs more across the breadth of its portfolio and around the world. The logic was straightforward for the longtime brewing partner of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. "The FIFA World Cup is a once-every-four-years opportunity to build the long-term brand equity of our portfolio," Michel Doukeris, the company's chief executive, said on its most recent quarterly earnings call in late July. Don't Miss A Drop Get the latest in beer, wine, and cocktail culture sent straight to your inbox. But as Brewbound first noted, when an analyst on the call asked about the full-year volume lift ABI was projecting from this massive marketing effort, Doukeris put it at around 0.25%. Now, +25 basis points is nothing to scoff at, and the CEO argued that "the benefits of the activation and everything that we have done and seen from the World Cup will extend far beyond the year." Maybe! But the beer industry is declining at a much faster rate - around 4.5 percent year-to-date, per the latest Beer Institute tax-paid figures - and ABI's beer volume is, too, at least here in the United States. Its depletions and shipments for the second quarter of 2026, during which about half the World Cup unfolded, were down 1.9 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively. There may be knock-on benefits to... uh... whatever this was that will be more obvious in Q3, though scan data from multi-outlet grocery, mass retail, and convenience stores tracked by the market research firm Circana shows ABI's American portfolio down 0.7 percent in dollars and 2.3 in volume for the four weeks through July 12, so maybe not. Either way, this is not shaping up to be a major boost for the country's biggest macrobrewer. Elsewhere in the industry, World Cup sales snapshots tell a similar story, if not worse. An analysis of category-level sales by Circana's longtime beverage-alcohol scan-man Scott Scanlon put beer down 2.1 percent in dollars and 3.4 percent in volume year-over-year for the week through July 19 - the final day of the tournament. Those category declines outpaced the previous four weeks, 26 weeks, and year-to-date benchmarks, suggesting that the beer market may have gotten softer as the World Cup went on. "A bit concerned on [the] overall beer trend at just over the 2026 halfway point for the beer category," Scanlon noted in a July 26 memo. Beer Marketer's Insights elaborated in its signature unbylined pidgin last week, noting that a soft June performance "[s]uggests industry shed ~3.5 mil bbls vs yr ago thru the 1st half." (That's "3.5 million barrels versus a year ago through the first half of 2026," for those of you who don't read BMI-ese.) "Disappointing goin' up against what was thought to be easier comps as industry slipped nearly [five percent] in the first half of 2025 vs 2024." Of course, scan data from Circana and its rival provider NIQ can only augur beer's performance in the off-premise, and the World Cup was, for so many bargoers, an on-premise drinking occasion. The news was better for beer in those channels, according to sales data from BeerBoard, an on-premise analytics platform. Dollars and volume for draft were up 7.1 and 6.46 percent respectively across the firm's network of on-premise accounts throughout the tournament. Package revenue was up even more for the period - 11.74 percent - but in a sign of the times, volume was up a little bit less at 5.52 percent. The discrepancy may be due to the fact that BeerBoard's package data includes "beyond beer" products, which tend to command higher price points and deliver disproportionate revenue growth. On a week-by-week basis, sales surged at the very beginning of the tournament, and again as the U.S. men's team was playing in the knockout round, then tapered off after both events. By the final week of the tournament, dollars and volume were both slightly down (-1 and -3 percent) compared to the same frames in 2025. Of course, sales data never tell the whole story. It's possible that the investments that brewers large and small made to align their brands with the World Cup will pay off down the road, like ABI's Doukeris envisions for his portfolio. You could imagine, for example, craft breweries winning new repeat customers who first visited their taprooms during watch parties. The tournament might have brought drinkers back to sports bars for long enough to remember that they enjoy drinking draft beer, sending them on their way after the final whistle with vows to do it more often. Hell, if you really squint, you could even see Zoomers warming to the concept of beer specials during live sporting events - dare to dream. There's a glass-half-full take here. But the more realistic take, at least with the evidence Vinepair has in front of Vinepair, is that the World Cup has come and gone, and beer wasn't really able to catch the wave. This is "tuff" - if you'll indulge a bit more BMI-ese - because spirits products certainly were. Scanlon's Circana scans show the category up 4.4 and 8.4 percent in dollars and volume year-over-year in the final week of the tournament, "with Cutwater, Surfside, Sun Cruiser contributing exceptional growth to the category offsetting traditional spirits (outside of Tito's)." No kidding - Cutwater was up around 60 percent in both dollars and volume that final week. That's what you're supposed to do against easier comps! The World Cup was never going to save the American beer industry, being a once-every-four-years event that won't return to this continent for the foreseeable future. But it probably should have helped more brewers more than it did. Blame bad marketing, high gas prices, tough competition, or all of the above. But with time ticking off the clock on the second half of summer 2026, and the tournament already fading from the zeitgeist, the result is the same. The beer industry's summer blues roll on. Hop-ocalypse now. Last decade, the explosion of craft beer in/around cities across the country made the segment an easy shorthand punchline for jokes about effete conspicuous-consuming Millennials. The New Yorker even got in on the action in 2014 with a semi-infamous cover sending up the scene at a stereotypical second-wave beer bar. Ah, memories. This stuff wasn't quite cliche then, but it was getting there. Which is why I had to double-check what year it was earlier this week when New Yorker staffer and emergent Gen X contrarian Jay Caspian Kang mocked the social-media platform Bluesky (on Bluesky, naturally) as a "little pirate ship that looks like a microbrew meet up". Ah, man... what? Anyway, loved that one essay you published 16 years ago, though! Ups... They say "What's dead may never die" and that apparently applies to Rogue Ales & Spirits' intellectual property for Dead Guy Ale, which is currently up for auction... The Great American Beer Festival released its pour list for the 2026 event... Athletic Brewing Co. struck a multi-year deal with MetLife Stadium and the hometown New York Giants and New York Jets... Lawson's Finest Liquids is launching its own non-alcoholic craft beer called Sip'N... ...and downs. Tilray Brands announced plans to cease production at Terrapin Beer Co.'s plant in Athens, which may make you sad but shouldn't make you surprised... Ohio mid-major Rhinegeist Brewing's hot new line extension on Cincy Light is, alas, a vodka-based RTD called Cincy Splash... Monster's beverage-alcohol division saw net sales decline 15.2 percent, oof...

JetBlue launches new up-to-30% discount on points purchases through August 18 - But should you buy?

JetBlue launches new up-to-30% discount on points purchases through August 18 - But should you buy? 6 hours ago AwardWallet receives compensation from advertising partners for links on the blog. The opinions expressed here are its own and have not been reviewed, provided, or approved by any bank advertiser. Here's its complete list of Advertisers. Offers for the JetBlue Business Card, JetBlue Card and JetBlue Plus Card are not available through this site. Some offers may have expired. Please see its card marketplace for available offers JetBlue just launched a new buy points promotion, offering up to a 30% discount on TrueBlue points purchased through August 18, 2026. That brings the purchase price down to 2.26¢ per point. But should you actually buy JetBlue points at this rate? A deal like this can be useful for topping off your balance or snagging a solid deal on partner redemptions, but that's about it. JetBlue's fixed-value, revenue-based points currency can make it challenging to find outsized value on JetBlue-operated flights. Here's a closer look at when buying JetBlue points makes sense - and when you should skip this offer. Buy JetBlue points key terms. * This promotion is valid through August 18, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST. * Purchases of TrueBlue points are non-refundable. * Purchased points should post within 72 hours. * Any purchased TrueBlue points will not count toward qualification for Mosaic elite status. * TrueBlue members may purchase a maximum of 200,000 points during this offer. * All purchases include a 7.5% tax recovery fee on the value of the points purchased. * See the full JetBlue terms and conditions here. Per the terms and conditions, miles will be deposited within 72 hours of purchase. However, data points from AwardWallet users show that point purchases are typically processed within one day. Discount tiers. Checking around the AwardWallet team, AwardWallet, LLC is finding two versions of this promotion. If you've bought JetBlue TrueBlue points before, you can get a 20% discount when you buy at least 8,000 points, which comes out to 2.58¢ per point. However, if you've never bought TrueBlue points before, you may see a targeted offer for an extra 10% off, plus a lower purchase threshold to get a discount. TrueBlue members should check their accounts to see which offer they've received. Here's how the more lucrative offer breaks down: * 1,000-2,000 points: No discount (3.23¢ per point) * 3,000-200,000 points: 30% discount (2.26¢ per point) With this 30% discount, you can purchase up to 200,000 points per transaction for $4,515 (including the 7.5% tax recovery fee), which comes out to 2.26¢ per point. How JetBlue redemptions work. Unlike zone-based or category-based programs, JetBlue's TrueBlue currency operates at a fixed value that generally ranges between 1¢ and 1.5¢ per point. On average, JetBlue TrueBlue points are worth about 1.24¢ each, based on AwardWallet users' redemptions. The advantage of a program like this is that your ability to use points is steady. You don't have to find award availability to get a good redemption. In turn, the disadvantage is that you rarely find any outsized value for your points. But your inability to find any "sweet spots" in JetBlue's non-existent award chart doesn't mean there are no good JetBlue point redemptions. With fixed-value currencies, if cash fares are cheap, award prices also are low. For example, this route between Boston, MA (BOS) and Wilmington, NC, is available from just 6,100 points + $5.60 in taxes and fees. That's a rather minimal amount of points. JetBlue also offers one of the best domestic business-class products available. If you're keen to try JetBlue Mint, you can find some great deals for points redemptions. For example, you can book this Boston to San Francisco itinerary in JetBlue Mint for only 49,100 points. At a purchase rate of 2.26¢ per point, you'd pay around $1,130 for the points plus $5.60 in taxes and fees. This might seem like a reasonable deal - until you realize that the cash rate for the same flight is only $649! In this case, it makes much more sense to buy the flight outright than to buy JetBlue points for this redemption since there's not much of a deal to be had. However, if you have almost enough JetBlue points for an award redemption, it could make sense to top off your account with a purchase. JetBlue buy points history. While not the most popular U.S. airline, there is always going to be a time and a place when JetBlue could come in handy. That's especially true when there is an ongoing buy-points promotion that allows you to grab TrueBlue points at a discounted rate, allowing you to find cheaper deals at a later date. As you can see, the current promotion is a far cry from the best rate AwardWallet, LLC has ever seen: | Promotion Ended | Max Bonus/Discount | Min Cents per Point | | 2026-08-18 | 30% Discount | 2.26 | | 2026-08-09 | 125% Bonus | 1.43 | | 2026-06-10 | 125% Bonus | 1.43 | | 2026-04-26 | 20% Discount | 2.58 | | 2026-04-18 | 125% Bonus | 1.43 | | 2026-02-23 | 125% Bonus | 1.43 | | 2025-12-31 | 130% Bonus | 1.4 | | 2025-10-28 | 130% Bonus | 1.4 | | 2025-08-11 | 125% Bonus | 1.43 | | 2025-06-09 | 125% Bonus | 1.43 | | 2025-04-10 | 120% Bonus | 1.47 | | 2025-02-24 | 120% Bonus | 1.47 | | 2024-12-31 | 130% Bonus | 1.4 | | 2024-09-13 | 125% Bonus | 1.43 | | 2024-06-28 | 75% Bonus | 1.44 | | 2024-03-31 | 90% Bonus | 1.32 | | 2023-11-29 | 60% Bonus | 1.85 | | 2023-08-31 | 50% Bonus | 1.97 | | 2023-06-30 | 60% Bonus or 30% Discount | 1.85 | | 2023-05-31 | 70% Bonus | 1.74 | | 2023-04-30 | 70% Bonus | 1.74 | | 2023-04-21 | 70% Bonus | 1.74 | | 2023-02-24 | 60% Bonus | 1.85 | | 2022-11-22 | 40% Discount | 1.77 | | 2022-08-31 | 70% Bonus | 1.74 | | 2022-06-30 | 40% Discount | 1.77 | | 2022-05-08 | 60% Bonus | 1.85 | | 2022-04-20 | 30% Discount | 2.07 | | 2022-02-16 | 60% Bonus | 1.85 | | 2021-11-22 | 70% Bonus | 1.74 | | 2021-10-05 | 30% Discount | 2.07 | | 2021-09-29 | 30% Discount | 2.07 | | 2021-07-28 | 60% Bonus | 1.85 | | 2021-06-22 | 30% Discount | 2.07 | | 2021-06-13 | 40% Discount | 1.77 | | 2021-04-27 | 50% Bonus | 1.97 | | 2021-02-23 | 40% Discount | 1.77 | | 2020-12-01 | 60% Bonus or 40% Discount + 10% Bonus | 1.5 | | 2020-06-10 | 60% Bonus | 1.72 | Maximize your points purchase. TrueBlue point purchases are processed by Points.com. Unfortunately, this won't count as an airfare or travel purchase on your credit card. Instead, consider paying with these cards: Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card Welcome Offer Earn 75,000 Miles once you spend $4,000 on purchases within 3 months from account opening. Annual Fee: $95 Why AwardWallet, LLC Like It Highlights Earning Rates Other ways to earn TrueBlue points. If you're not in a bind for time, perhaps a better way to earn TrueBlue points might be with a sign-up bonus on a JetBlue co-branded credit card: * JetBlue Plus Card: Earn 60,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee in full, both within the first 90 days. * JetBlue Card: Earn 10,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first 90 days. * JetBlue Premier Card: Earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee in full, both within the first 90 days. * JetBlue Business Card: Earn 50,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee in full, both within the first 90 days.

JetBlue TrueBlue also has transfer partners that you can use to top up your balance: Transfer Ratio Min.Transfer Average Time United States JetBlue Airways (TrueBlue) United States JetBlue Airways (TrueBlue) 1,000:1,000 United States JetBlue Airways (TrueBlue) 1,000:1,000 IHG Hotels & Resorts (One JetBlue Airways (TrueBlue) 10,000:2,000 JetBlue Airways (TrueBlue) Bottom line. With a 30% discount, this promotion to buy JetBlue TrueBlue points for just 2.26¢ each presents compelling value if you're in need of some points to complete a redemption. But due to the currency's fixed value, buying points makes sense in very few situations - even more so now that the cost of cash and points prices has increased drastically. But if you're right on the cusp of an expensive JetBlue or partner redemption and lack transferable points, this promotion could be the fastest way to get the missing points for your award flight. If that's you, this offer is valid through August 18, 2026.
