JSX has officially launched its first-ever loyalty program, Club JSX, on July 9, 2025, offering members 5% back in future flight credits along with family pooling and referral bonuses. For travelers who've been enjoying JSX's unique semi-private flying experience, this new program finally provides a way to earn rewards directly with the carrier.

The program is free to join, and the primary benefit is that you get 5% back in the form of rewards, which are valid for a year. If you've been flying JSX for its hassle-free private terminal experience, Club JSX brings straightforward value without the complexity of traditional airline elite tiers.

What is Club JSX?

Club JSX is JSX's brand-new loyalty program that rewards customers with 5% back on base fares, seat fees, and pet fees in the form of future trip credits. Unlike traditional airline loyalty programs with complicated elite tiers and varying redemption values, Club JSX takes a refreshingly simple approach.

JSX Chief Commercial Officer David Drabinsky describes the program as being "built on the very same principles that continuously earn us the highest Customer satisfaction ratings in our industry: simplicity, generosity, and respect."

JSX's Unique Position

JSX operates as a public charter service using 30-seat Embraer regional jets, allowing passengers to use private terminals and check in just 20 minutes before departure. JSX operates about 140 flights daily. It serves 28 destinations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Texas, and Los Cabos, Mexico.

The carrier recently topped Travel + Leisure's annual poll as the #1 domestic airline, demonstrating strong customer satisfaction that Club JSX aims to reward.

How Club JSX Works: Core Benefits

5% Future Credit on Every Flight

Members earn rewards equal to 5% of base fares, seat fees, and pet fees, in the form of future trip credits. This straightforward earning structure means if you book a $500 JSX flight, you'll earn $25 in future flight credits.

The 5% rate applies to:

• Base airfare
• Seat assignment fees
• Pet transportation fees

What doesn't earn rewards: Change/cancel fees, phone support fees, overweight/excess baggage fees, or flights operated by partner airlines.

Family Pooling for Maximum Flexibility

Up to five people can pool their rewards, simplifying the management of family travel, and allowing for more flexibility with redemptions. This feature addresses one of the biggest pain points in family travel – having scattered rewards across multiple accounts.

Birthday Month Bonus and Referrals

Members earn bonus rewards for flights taken during their birthday month. The program also includes a "Give $100, Get $100" referral program, whereby members can give $100 in flights credits to first time JSX customers, and earn a $100 voucher for themselves after the referred person takes their first flight.

How to Earn and Redeem Rewards

Earning Club JSX Rewards

Earning with Club JSX couldn't be simpler. Unlike complex airline programs, Club JSX offers a flat 5% return regardless of when or how you book directly with JSX.

Important timing: Flights booked and flown before Club JSX launched on July 8th, 2025, are not eligible to earn Rewards. Flights booked before July 8th, 2025, but flown on or after July 8th, 2025, are eligible.

Redeeming Your Credits

You can combine rewards, vouchers, and travel credits together on a new reservation, and they'll be used in the order of soonest expiration. Your Club JSX rewards can be used for:

• All or part of JSX fare bookings
• Seat assignment fees
• Pet transportation fees

Expiration: Rewards are valid until the last day of the 12th month following accrual, and can't be extended. This 12-month window requires careful planning to maximize value.

Club JSX vs. Airline Partners

JSX maintains partnerships with both United Airlines and JetBlue, allowing passengers to earn miles with those programs instead of Club JSX rewards.

United MileagePlus Partnership

If you book your JSX flight directly through United's website, your miles are based on the cost of your ticket and your MileagePlus elite status. If you book directly with JSX or another third-party site, your earnings are based on distance flown and fare class.

Which Program Should You Choose?

Choose Club JSX if:

• You fly JSX regularly and can use credits within 12 months
• You prefer simplicity over complex earning structures
• You're planning family travel and can benefit from pooling

Choose United MileagePlus if:

• You're working toward United elite status
• You prefer transferable miles with broader redemption options
• You book through United's website frequently

For help choosing the best airline credit card for beginners, consider your overall travel patterns beyond just JSX flights.

Maximizing Your Club JSX Experience

Travel Planning Tools

When planning JSX trips, use tools like Going.com to track flight deals across your departure cities, or Skyscanner to compare JSX prices with traditional airlines on overlapping routes.

Travel Essentials

For your JSX travels, consider packing light with quality gear. Nomatic offers excellent travel backpacks, while Belkinprovides reliable charging accessories for JSX's in-seat power outlets.

Don't forget travel insurance for your trips. Battleface Travel Insurance offers comprehensive coverage for domestic travel, while Faye Travel Insurance provides app-based claims support.

Airport Experience

Joining Club JSX is completely free. Visit JSX's website or download their mobile app to create your account.

For existing JSX customers: Your profile will be automatically enrolled by activating Club JSX the next time you sign in. Customers under 18 require parental consent during sign-up.
