Reason I ask is my dad and I share the same Name & Middle Initial. He no longer flies but wants me to give him my referral (I've had a JB card several years) so I get points --and then to sign up for the 80k so I can use them.I realize I can "pool" them - but its easier if they just go into my account.
The reason I'm asking about this is we accidentally did this a few years back with a sign up bonus for AMEX/Delta - he doesn't have a computer so when he filled out the application on mine - it auto filled my Delta number into the application and he didn't realize it. Low and behold after the spend bonus it showed up in my account, so clearly they don't. But - don't want to necessarily assume Jet Blue doesn't.... curious if anyone knew?
I don't see a problem. The only reason the problem happened with Delta is that he put the wrong Delta number in. This time make sure the application has the correct True Blue number.

I just don't want to go thru having him get a card, do the spend, only to have it get flagged somewhere that his DOB doesn't match the DOB on the JB account - but if they only go by names (like delta) then it shouldn't matter...
They're not going to go just by names.
