Question about Jetblue baggage allowance

[disneydacey]

I purchased our airfare through JB. I purchased each leg separate since we wanted to use the points from 2 cards to cover the cost. The flight there I booked the Blue Plus fare which allows 1 checked bag. For the return trip I used my JB points so I booked the Blue fare which does not have any baggage included. However I paid the taxes with my JB Plus card. So theoretically I should get a free checked bag for each person on the reservation since that is a perk of paying for the flight with that card. Is my reasoning correct? I tried asking JB online but did not get a straight answer.

It's kind of ambiguous. You get the one free checked bag if you purchase the fare with the JB Plus card. You didn't purchase the fare with the card, you paid the taxes. You should see something, within the confirmation, that tells you if you have qualified for that free bag. I'm going to say you won't, but I'm no authority on it!!!

You should not get the free checked bags on the return flight. Your confirmation should indicate what flights get the free bag.

So I messaged them again on Facebook and was more detailed in my explanation. Here is the exchange:

Dacey
If I bought a Blue base fare (zero baggage allowance) with my True Blue points but paid for the taxes with my JetBlue Plus card do I receive a baggage allowance?

JetBlue Airways
Hi Dacey! You won't be charged for checked bags when using your JetBlue Plus card. Thanks for being TrueBlue! - Denise

I feel like I need to save this conversation just in case they give me a hard time at the airport!

Check your reservation confirmation. I did the same thing you did and booked with points but paid taxes with JetBlue plus card and my reservation indications that we get a free checked bag. It seems to always appear that way not even when I am looking at fares it indicates I get a free bag even with the lowest fare price. A pert of having their CC.
