Veterans Advantage and JetBlue Expand Military Discount Partnership for U.S. Veterans, Active Duty Military & Families

For nearly three years, VetRewards Card members have been awarded exclusive JetBlue benefits of 5% OFF fares on JetBlue, and qualify to earn TrueBlue points on travel booked with the 5% off discounted fares. With the new benefit of two free bags, members redeeming the Veterans Advantage discount may experience additional savings of up to $60 on every flight booked.

"We are excited to expand our benefits with Veterans Advantage," said Carleen Ybarra, manager, values relations, JetBlue, and a former Army First Sergeant.  "This discount is available to all US veterans, active duty military and their families and is a small token of our appreciation and gratitude for those who have served."

Redeeming JetBlue savings benefits is simple, and there are no blackout dates. To book the 5% discount on JetBlue travel, Veterans Advantage members can call JetBlue reservations at 1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583) and identify themselves as a Veterans Advantage member by providing their unique Member ID from the face of their VetRewards Card.

"This is a is a real thank you from JetBlue for our members, and we appreciate their recognition of the value of service to our country, said Scott Higgins, Co-Founder & CEO of Veterans Advantage and a Vietnam Veteran. "Adding this valuable benefit to our popular JetBlue 5% OFF discount clearly demonstrates JetBlue's leadership in thanking those who serve with exclusive savings.
