ShopTrue is Down!

An Upgrade to ShopTrue

I've been waiting for a few days now to write a post about ShopTrue, a great way to earn an extra badge and get extra True Blue miles just by using the shopping portal to purchase from online retailers like Macy's or Home Depot, but the site's been down. And not the good down - it wouldn't resolve and errored out for the past few days.

It seems like someone finally got on top of that mess, though, and the the ShopTrue URL now leads to this:

So if you've been wondering why the site is down, doesn't work, and is straight broken...this appears to be the reason! A new version of the site will debut sometime in the (hopefully) near future and I'll be posting an update with details when it does - as well as if the name TrueBlue Mall will stick.

Until then, sit tight and try to hold off on any purchases that could otherwise be used to earn points, which may be easier said than done. 

Free Drink for JetBlue Amex Cardholders!

Enjoy a Drink on JetBlue

While many airlines offer a percentage discount off in-flight purchases when using their branded credit card, JetBlue just made holiday travel a lot less hectic by giving away a free wine or beer for all passengers 21+ who can show their American Express JetBlue card on the flight. As usual, all other in flight purchases made with the card are also 50% off. 

Almost makes me wish I lived far enough from my family to fly for the holidays! Check out the post below:

Blue's News - November 6

What's new with JetBlue

• A friendly reminder why JetBlue is so awesome - they're a low cost airline, but are the complete opposite of Spirit Air, who people love to hate.
  
  
• Yes, the FAA and JetBlue have allowed your iPod and MacBook on the plane for use during the whole flight - but that doesn't mean you can talk on the phone!
  
  
• An article that claims we're the ones ripping off the airline industry...can't say I agree, but an interesting perspective on our state of affairs using historical context.
  
  
• Terminal 5 at JFK now services two new locations through JetBlue: Trinidad and Tobago and Savannah/Hilton Head. Can you say awesome new vacation destinations?!

FAA Says Electronics Okay!

JetBlue Follows FAA Recommendations

It's been a long, long, long time coming: as of November 4th, the FAA has become more lax with their regulations on electronic devices during flights. That means no more furiously eeking out that last text as the stewardess looms down the aisle, no more unplugging your headphones just for takeoff, no more interrupted anything!

Although the FAA's allowance of device usage is great, it still falls into the hands of airlines to implement their own policy in regards to portable electronic usage. Luckily, JetBlue is awesome! Within just hours of the announcement they began letting passengers use their personal devices! In fact, Jet Blue became the first US airline to allow PED (personal electronic devices) during flight on a Buffalo flight that took off that same day.

This is a great example of why JetBlue is such a fantastic airline to fly, you get quality and genuine enthusiasm all for a seriously cheap ticket! What's not to love? 

For the nitty gritty details, the FAA has you covered with an article on their site.
