Did Qatar Airways Just Devalue JetBlue Award Rates?

November 8, 2023 at 12:23 EDT By Spencer Howard

Last night, Max Miles Points and I were discussing the fact that Qatar Airways Privilege Club isn't able to book award tickets on JetBlue currently. Readers had flagged for me that Qatar had told them there were technical issues.

Now, it seems Qatar might be creating a separate award chart for award tickets on JetBlue with worse award rates. Frequent Miler reports that they're seeing award rates listed at double the original rates.

Points Wire Note: If this does turn out to be a devaluation, it'll be so disappointing. Qatar Airways and JetBlue just expanded their partnership to allow award bookings. To double award rates after only a few days is poor form if you ask me.
