i didn't see it on the dans deal page. Does paying more jetblue even more seats count for the fee credit
Is it a separate charge, or just a higher fare?
If the first, probably works, if the 2nd, almost definitely not.

I've been trying to create a United gift registry for the past few days but it keeps saying that "the gift registry page is unavailable for maintenance". Is anyone else seeing this? If what I'm seeing is incorrect, can someone please post a link to the proper location?

For now at least. I think it'll be just temporary, but might take a few months.
