Badge-Earning Travel Programs

The 'TrueBlue Badges' Programs Rewards Members for Air Travel

JetBlue's 'TrueBlue Badges' gives members the opportunity to earn rewards simply by traveling. For many travelers, visiting different places is a way of collecting different experiences. This program turns those experiences into tangible badges that can be collected and cashed in for different rewards.

The TrueBlue Badges program is a rewards-based initiative that allows members to earn badges for different JetBlue-related activities. These activities include flying to different destinations, interacting with other passengers and sharing experiences on social media. The more badges a member earns, the more rewards they are able to unlock. There are over 400 different badges to be earned, making the program somewhat of a competition. Members can even link their badges to social media in order to see how they stack up against friends and family.

While a number of airlines have used gamification ventures for promotional purposes, JetBlue has made the badges a permanent part of its loyalty program. The ongoing nature of the program encourages users to continue collecting rewards for current and future travel.
