After trying delta's united's and AA's new trans-con business class I am very tempted to try this one as well.

What is the change fee policy on awards ?

From DDMS
"Mint seats booked with TrueBlue points get free cancellation/changes, free onboard movies, free enhanced food and beverages, 2 free checked bags, and priority checkin, security, and boarding."

Where can I find this on jetblue.com ?
I can only find changes for revenue tickets.

I found it when searching for a flight and selecting fare details.

My question now is if I book a $599 fare for 26k miles and later want to switch it to another $599
fare will I then need to pay the difference in miles (the extra %25) ?

These sales happen all the time, so you could still speculatively transfer from Amex even if the dates don't work for you.

Sales happen.

Bonuses happen much more rarely.

Bonuses and sales happening at the same time are rarer still.

Bonuses, sales, and Mint being reduced as part of a promo, all happening at the same time is happy birthday.

Of course. I'm not saying it will be as convenient.

My point is the bonus is rare, but the sales are very frequent.

(Prob happened over six times this year.)
