Great time to try mint.

[mochjas]

Wow when I log in it is pricing the flights weirdly, for example a mint flight went down from 43500 to 12500 but obviously it wont let me book it

Update I logged out and got the correct pricing: Seems like mint is excluded from the discount, the cheapest mint tickets I found were about 45000 and that is the regular price

Yep, I don't see that the discount is being reflected on Mint.  Odd though, considering I don't see any exclusion in the T&C, unless I read too quickly:

At first I thought excluding mint was kind of disingenuous, but then I read the initial e-mail again (highlights mine):
I had initially interpreted "an" as "any".

Redeem your TrueBlue points for an Award Flight by August 4 and save 25% when you travel between September 7 and November 16, 2016!

To take off now and save points for later, simply:
• Head to jetblue.com, where all eligible Award Flights fares will automatically include the 25% discount.
• Book between now and August 4th
• Fly September 7 – November 16, 2016 (Blackout dates 10/6 – 10/16/16)
• Fly Mon – Thurs and Sat. (not valid for flights on Fri. or Sun.)

Too bad that it doesn't work on mint, this with 10% back from jetblue card would be great deal.

[normathej]

You can go JFK to Bermuda for 2,000 points OW.  Taxes are a bummer though.

[chevron]

i get 10% back with cc too? so like 35% off ?

About that, you are getting 10% on the already lowered by 25% rate.

I'm still waiting for my new JetBlue Plus credit card to arrive.  Probably still at least another few days.  I know one generally needs to book the reservation (or at least the cash portion) with the card to get free checked bags for all the passengers (up to 4).  But I remember reading that folks got around this somehow.  Was it calling them afterward to change the credit card on the reservation?  Or will Barclays tell me the credit card number ahead of time?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  TIA.

Mint is now 25% off.

Nice! JFK-LAX for 34,000 or JFK-SFO for 31,100 + 10% back.

[AJK]

Problem is (1) most dates have only 1 seat at low price, so not couples, and (2) almost all mint carribbean flights depart on Saturday.

Seems like that particular flight has good availability on lots of dates. Works nice for motzei Shabbos.

Do Mosaic member's get free cancellation on award tickets ?

Do Mosaic member's get free cancellation on award tickets ?

Yes

[David Smith]

If I book 6 people on one PNR that includes a mosaic member, what would the cancellation policy be?

(Officially, the benefits are only supposed to extend to 4 others on the reservation.)

I'm showing two free bags for each of the six people on my reservation, so presumably the cancellation would extend to all of them as well.
