I'm a TrueBlue member, and though I agree it stinks that miles expire, I've known from the get-go that they would. Their program may be the only one that operates this way, but I wouldn't call that sneaky. I will say that it is nearly impossible for a non-business traveler to get to 100, though! I've gotten up to 48, now I'm down to 20. I'm thinking of rolling over some Amex membership reward points to top off my TrueBlue account, probably for holiday travel. Thanks for commenting, and keep in touch! Elo,

I've read so many negative reviews of them, but personally, y experience has mostly been very good...They're definitely my first choice of airline to fly - if price is the same or close to the same as what another carrier is offering. Dr. Tantillo ('the marketing doctor') who has a branding blog ( http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv ) did two posts a while back criticizing JetBlue for their sneaky/deceptive frequent flyer program (miles expire - but this isn't made clear up-front) and well-publicized gaffes.

Yesterday I was in a restaurant in Israel and they had some nice National Geographic magazines for patrons to read while they wait for their meal. Mine was the latest issue from 1965! Featuring, the new and glorious Terminal 5 at JFK with ladies and gents all dressed in their travel best sauntering down the red carpeted steps of this architectural wonder! Too funny!
