In theory you should be able to transfer the points from SPG-Virgin (pretty good value as is) and then match
so 40001 spg = 50001 virgin and 75k jetblue with a paid flight. the RT needed doesn't seem to have a cost minimum associated with it
ETA: you need 50001 virgin so transfer 40001 SPG

Side note:
I've already heard of someone photoshoping the screenshot of their Virgin American balance "showing" 50,001+ points.
Oddly enough, I guess that would work since JB & VA aren't affiliated..

Per flight or for entire itinerary? If the latter, probably worth it, agree?

You need to actually fly and it must be credited to your TrueBlue number.

One time I flew from LAX to Vegas @ 5:30am. Spent 10-20 minutes there & back to LAX & made it to work by 8:30am.
Well worth it to get a cup of Starbucks & a massive amount of miles....but that was an entirely different promotion.

They can be worth close.You get a worse redemption rate on mint class. $1500 is a real exaggeration.

You get a worse redemption rate on mint class. $1500 is a real exaggeration.You're technically getting 9 cpp with the $90 seat upgrades for 1k, but it'd be ridiculous to say that is worth almost $7000 based on that. $1000 seems like the standard redemption value.

You can also buy Starpoints for 30% off currently. Normally they cost 3.5 cents each, but with this sale they are just 2.45 cents each. If you you have 20,001 Starpoints already you can buy another 20K for $490 with this sale and then transfer them into 50,001 Virgin America points.

I had to transfer some MR to VA, because I didn't have enough SPG.
The good news is that the MR transfer immediately.
The bad news, besides the poor exchange rate (2MR-->1VA) is that there is also an excise tax fee that AX charges for MR transfers to domestic airlines.
I had transferred MR to B9 earlier this year and don't recall such a tax; I'm sure others have posted about it elsewhere but I'm too tired now to look for it.
AX charged 1,680 MR (which I could have paid as $8.40 if I had preferred) for the transfer of 14,000 MR. I think the t and c said the max excise tax is $99, presumably per transaction.
Now I have to wait for my 43,001 SPG to transfer to VA. (Sadly, I was ~2,000 SPG short of 40,000, so I could only get 5K bonus on the first 20,000, not the second 5k bonus.)

You should've bought SPG to coverI did buy. I didn't even think of calling and asking. Oy. kicking myself.
This is for DW. She only had about 8,000 SPG. I bought 30,000 SPG. T and C say that you can only buy or receive as gift total of 30,000 SPG per calendar year.
I could have transferred the remaining few thousand from my account to hers, but in my experience, that transfer takes several days, sometimes as long as a week, so it would likely miss the JetBlue promo deadline.
I couldn't think of another way to get ~2000 SPG points into her account, so I had to round out the 50,001 with MR's.
Lesson learned: always ask here first.
Thanks.

If he had a cheaper source then he wouldn't have bought the 30K from them in the first place.You can find "friends" that will transfer from their spg account to your virgin account. Researched this

Post by: Dan on June 28, 2016, 11:59:11 PM
We have someone here who says he had 8k SPG in his account purchased 30k, was short 2k, luckily he got it from them with asking, he would have an option of paying 6k MR and earn 2k SPG which would produce another 5k VX points, anything bad?That's fine, but your tone is always accusatory and the details are rarely spelled out.
Why is 330 SPG for 1000 MR not in the DDMS post?...
I don't mind critical feedback, I just ask that things are kept respectful.
There's not an agenda just because I didn't think through such a scenario to write about on DDMS. AMEX to SPG is a rather obscure use AMEX of points.
You can find "friends" that will transfer from their spg account to your virgin account. Researched thisAnd if he had friends like that, then he wouldn't have bought the 30K, so it's a moot point.

I wasnt posting to make zow feel bad, was really posting more for others that are reading this and may be looking for ways to get the needed points. If you dont actually have points in your account the cheapest way is to find "friends" that will transfer for you rather than buying from spg/transferring from amex/citi.

It worked three times for me today, got emails while on the phone.
Here's an important tip that i confirmed with two different reps:
Two one ways will work!
(i.e. JFK-Fll and then LAS-LAX)
While the fine print isn't displayed in the email, they seem to have it on their backend.
Feel free to confirm for yourselves. (I had them add a little note to our trueblue accounts confirming that)
Good luck all!

Still haven't received my conf email but I sent my screenshot around 9AM PST on Sunday so I'm hoping to get a response by tomorrow.

Will they look into from where the points came from ?? if coming from your amex cards or spg ,assuming no problem and if they see your transferring to a sibling(houshold member )will they make problems for you to get points or not in the guidelines then should be kosher ?how could they possibly know where your elevate points came from?
register both of you guysthen you are each registered and each have to buy your own ticket anyway so why would it help to fly together?

@myi @Wizard first off even if it were free, you can only transfer 30,000 elevate points per account and so it wouldn't help. This isn't even mentioning the fact that it's terribly expensive, I forget the exact number, you can look earlier in the thread (which you should have done anyways to find the answers to your questions)receive only 20,000, what do you mean by that ? to purchase or ?
Post by: mmgfarb on June 29, 2016, 02:04:18 AM
receive only 20,000, what do you mean by that ? to purchase or ?sorry, their terms are somewhat confusing, it's unclear if you can only receive 20,000 as a gift or if that number is actually 30,000 and if they're talking about someone buying you points or transferring them.

JetBlue does not allow you to make an account for someone younger than, I think, 16.
So in order to make an account for my daughter, I had to make a child's account from my own profile. After a few minutes I logged into her account and copied her Trueblue number.
I then took a snapshot of her Elavate and sent it to match just like i did With DW and myself.
I then called to expedite.

I'm eagerly awaiting a response to this questions. If you could have only one Elevate account but receive the B6 points for every family member that flies with the AH, then this could be the deal of the century. Unfortunately, I don't believe that it works that way.

or u could've just asked I was also short 2k I told them I really needed it for my vacation they just gave it to me
What number did you call? You just called and said that you needed 2k points for a vacation, and they gave them to you free and clear? Or did they lend the points?
And they didn't ask to book the reservation directly over the phone with you?

So 50k+75k+75k+(partner your going to be flying with)=200k+(worth over 2k$ even in cash)

We have to fly together because - as of now - a 18 month old can't fly alone ;)
But theoretically yes, every person registered for the promotion can fly by him or herself.

I know everyone is treating this like a no brainer but I'm still trying to figure out if I should bother. We basically only ever fly NYC- PBI or that area. I would otherwise sell my SPG. Trying to figure out if the value of the jetblue points - the flight I would take as part of this > value of SPG points. Not even sure what I would do with the Elevate points. Help, anyone?The way I look at it - even if jet blue + virgin points are just 1 cent apiece, that's a value of $1,250. 40K SPG at 1.5 is $600, add in a flight for $100-$150 - you still come away with $500 profit.

can i transfer starpoints from one account to another, and if so how long does it take?Only if they're the same address. Takes around 5 days.
Post by: Luvtotravel on June 29, 2016, 06:41:26 PM
Only if they're the same address. Takes around 5 days.im missing around 600 spg. whats quickest way to go about it? calling spg and asking for them outright was a no go twice. transferring from amex seems like a crime. i would hate to have to buy. any way to transfer between accounts quicker? or is there a way for a purchase to post the points quicker?
Post by: rileywiles23 on June 29, 2016, 07:10:23 PM
LOL.When I called to expedite the request, they said they have over 400k requests and are just bogged down.
As if they don't know based on the volume of emails.

You can transfer immediately after purchase. Or ask SPG for 100 and purchase 500. It's not so expensive.

I have a $100 companion code (from an offer following the Amex to Barclay conversion). Can I use it, to take someone with me, while I fly for this promo, or might that mess it up?BUMP
Anyone have any insight or feedback please?

My main interest is flying ORD - LHR and ORD- NYC. 50000 VX points seems like a lot with no amazing use for me. I don't particularly like flying JB from here to NY - they only have a couple flights a day - AA has every hour.
I don't really have time to travel just for kicks = mileage run. I may have reason to go NY next week but not sure...
What to do????

I see that your arrival into SFO and your subsequent departure is only about 45 minutes apart. How does it work with security? Do you need to go through security again before getting on your return flight or can you just go straight to the gate for the flight back to LGB? Also, what happens if your incoming flight is delayed and you miss the return? Will Jetblue make you pay the difference in fees in order to get on the next available flight? I'm interested because I am considering booking flights in a similar fashion.

I was told that it could be two one-way tickets.
Realistically, if both tickets were checked in online do we really think that not actually flying is going to be noted?
I suppose a test case could be run and e-mail afterwards and ask to confirm the points will post in 4-6 weeks and see if they confirm it based on their records.... I don't particularly WANT to spend 4 hours doing this if it's avoidable... though I will. (I also have a wife with a one month old who wouldn't really be able/want to do it so I'd be 2x wasting by not doing it)

You will receive 75,000 TrueBlue points if you complete either one round-trip flight or two
separate one way flights by August 31, 2016
In case that helps anyone.

My wife is nursing. She won't want to fly. As the 1 month old doesn't pay for the ticket I doubt it would work. But my 3 year old it might work for.
Is there a minimum age to open a SPG account or Elevate Account? There would still be time for me to transfer the miles for my son if I was able to open up the accounts (the 3 year old...)

I just got notified by pointsmatch that my screenshot doesn't qualify. I'm overseas so I don't have access to a desktop, and the tablet and mobile sites aren't able to get a single screenshot of first and last names, points balance and account number all in a single screen. Instead, I sent 2 screenshots-- one of first name, account number and balance, the second screenshot first and last names and account number, but no balance. The account number is on both screens. I won't be able to get a desktop screenshot until 7/3 evening, which is really close to promo end. I've read people getting rejected initially and then approved after resending the same screenshot. Should I just resend the screenshots I have or wait until 7/3 evening to send a proper screenshot?I had the same issue. It could possibly be that's why I was denied. I resent it in with a more clear explanation as to why I sent in two screen shots and I'll see what happens

Post by: Dan on June 30, 2016, 03:51:34 PM
For what it's worth, I am unable to do this for a three year old. Was fine opening JetBlue and Elevate accounts but Amex MR and SPG won't allow you to transfer the points to someone not on the account (15 years old or 18 years old) so I wasn't able to transfer the points from my SPG -- > Son SPG -- > Elevate or my MR --> Son MR --> Son Elevate.Wrong process.
I also have Chase UR (son has a savings account there as UTMI) and Citi Thank You but it seems that I'm out of luck. If anyone has any thoughts / tricks let me know!

However, the T&Cs do state that "Offer does not apply to non-revenue travel". Now, that can be interpreted to mean that the R/T Jetblue flight must be a revenue flight, but it can also be read to say that the Virgin points must be earned through revenue flights.
Finger's crossed!
Post by: gubevo18 on June 30, 2016, 04:09:14 PM
I just got notified by pointsmatch that my screenshot doesn't qualify. I'm overseas so I don't have access to a desktop, and the tablet and mobile sites aren't able to get a single screenshot of first and last names, points balance and account number all in a single screen. Instead, I sent 2 screenshots-- one of first name, account number and balance, the second screenshot first and last names and account number, but no balance. The account number is on both screens. I won't be able to get a desktop screenshot until 7/3 evening, which is really close to promo end. I've read people getting rejected initially and then approved after resending the same screenshot. Should I just resend the screenshots I have or wait until 7/3 evening to send a proper screenshot?download a desktop browser. Should work.

Does not apply to non rev travel would mean that the points were earned through non rev travel, aka points travel. And earning points on points travel doesn't exist.

I hear that, and it's a good point. They might just say that they were imprecise with their language, but that their intent should be understood. Regardless, this is not going to be resolved in litigation over the verbiage, but rather I think in the court of public opinion.

I really don't see anything besides a bunch of questions in the comments that seem to say the phone rep. was wrong and that I could go online and transfer from SPG (mine) to my son's -- they said not only did his account have to be open for 30 days but he had to be 15 years old...

This is a PR nightmare for any airline, and especially for JB (who try to market themselves as a generous, no fine print airline), who launched this whole promotion to try to compete with VX (who are known as a friendly airline). This can backfire big time, and they're well aware of that.
Someone should start a trending hashtag complaining about their non compliance with their stated terms.

But that can go both ways. On the one hand, the loss is smaller with fewer people, but so is the collateral damage if the deal is no honored. If they renege on this deal, they will have many thousands (if not more) angry travelers on their hands.

My screenshot didn’t have flight segments (or history of points earning) listed. After logging into VirginAmerica.com if you click my account it will show your informaiton (first name, dob, address, etc) but will not show point history. Your full name and point balance will still be on the top right of the screen. This way there is no way for them to know you didn’t earn the points through flights. (Although if you have 50,001 points I assume they can guess!)

They are going to be hard-pressed to deny me given they explicitly said that there was no age requirement for this promotion in writing....
I imagine they are completely deluged right now.
On the one hand, I feel a little bad for them. All they were trying to do is have a fun promo and win over some customers. But on the other hand, how in the world could they not have seen this coming? How could the situation which is happening right now not have occurred to anyone in the entire company who was involved with this promo? Maybe these companies should have a point-expert as a consultant to think of these loopholes before publishing any promos (not that this loophole requires an expert to discover).

Giving about 10k people $1200 is a fortune
They are not exactly giving away $1,200.00. Their actual losses result only from: (i) fliers who would have bought a ticket and will now use their miles instead, (ii) revenue customers who were unable to buy a seat because it was taken by a miles ticket, and (iii) the additional fuel burnt as a result of the revenue passengers and their articles.

They realized how hard it would be for people to fly by 8/31, and didn't want to do that to them. Instead, they would give me 1 million miles without ever taking a single flight. All I had to do was send them $250 via GreenDot, which is the newest currency of the up and coming airlines. I immediately sent it, and the miles should be in my account by the end of the day. Keep your eyes peeled on your inbox for this generous offer!Lol

You are correct, practically speaking, but as a publicly traded company, they should recognize this in a GAAP-compliant manner. According to this article Jetblue uses the incremental cost method http://greenandgold.uaa.alaska.edu/images/weekly/20120516-Accounting-for-Airline-FFP.pdf
Quote
The Incremental Cost Method recognizes a liability for the marginal cost of providing air transportation to eligible award passengers (i.e. the cost of taxes, fuel, food, etc. to fly one additional passenger on a seat that otherwise would have been empty—generally a nominal amount).

I see that your arrival into SFO and your subsequent departure is only about 45 minutes apart. How does it work with security? Do you need to go through security again before getting on your return flight or can you just go straight to the gate for the flight back to LGB? Also, what happens if your incoming flight is delayed and you miss the return? Will Jetblue make you pay the difference in fees in order to get on the next available flight? I'm interested because I am considering booking flights in a similar fashion.
I booked a similar flight. I assumed I'll be returning in the same plane. Can't I just stay near the gate when I exit and then reboard once the plane is ready?

NEW INFORMATIONYou'll need to resubmit. Keep in mind it needs to be an attached (not embedded) shot from a computer, not a mobile.

Just in case you used a mobile phone.
According to this tweet, screenshot needs to be sent as an attachment not embedded. This could be I was shot down in my 1st submission.
Lucky's take on Dan's take: http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2016/06/30/jetblue-pointsmatch-promo/"I’d note that some have been denied because they embedded the screenshot in the email, rather than including it as an attachment. I had no issues submitting mine as an attachment, though a friend was denied when he sent it as an attachment, but approved when he sent it back in the body of the email. DansDeals’ readers are correct to be confused, given how vague JetBlue is with their rejections."

DDMS.Thanks for all the efforts you put into clarifying this deal.
DDMS links to here (http://i.dansdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/30161712/jetblue.png) which reads "These flights needed to be purchase after June 24, 2016 to qualify. This is the date the promotion was launched and anything booked prior to that date will not qualify."
I think they can easily claim that there are 2 conditions for this offer:A)You need to book after 6/24, B)You need to have been registered at the time of the booking.
I would feel more comfortable if it was crystal clear. Especially since it's very possible that another JB sale will appear before the end of August.
Post by: Dan on July 01, 2016, 12:50:25 AM
Additionally all phone reps are saying that there's no need to be enrolled prior to ticketing.
And I assumed from the beginning that it wouldn't a requirement as it would be a huge IT challenge to configure that way, rather than a general promo start date.

No idea how you're reading B from that statement.I'm not suggesting that the above mentioned email indicates B. I think that being registered for a promotion is a reasonable prerequisite for promotion earning activity. I'm only saying that the explicitness of A doesn't mean that there is not an additional requirement of B. The email above is not the complete T&C; it only discusses the questions the customer asked about.

So pissed right now.

Until now I've been booking tix for family and putting myself on the res also that way it's refundable.Unfortunately, you're in for a rude awakening... Sorry to say.
(I plan on canceling my ticket later)
So you're saying that's unnecessary?
I wonder if they would get free bags also?

Unfortunately, you're in for a rude awakening... Sorry to say.Can you explain ? Jet blue rule is that if the Mosaic member is on the itinerary then all passengers on said itinerary, are included in free cancellation.

Can you explain ? Jet blue rule is that if the Mosaic member is on the itinerary then all passengers on said itinerary, are included in free cancellation.If you cancel the flight, aka, you don't fly, they won't credit you the points. Ergo, you just wasted a lot of time and SPG points for nothing, hence the rude awakening.

If you cancel the flight, aka, you don't fly, they won't credit you the points. Ergo, you just wasted a lot of time and SPG points for nothing, hence the rude awakening.That wasn't my point. My point was that I can book flights for family and then be able to change for free if cheaper or better options come up, not that I'll get the promotion points.
I thought that is what knowitall meant as well

Very deceptive indeed.
That's correct, the entire amount will be placed in a travel credit which is good for one year from the date issued. If you... 1/2

Mosaic free cancellation refunds go to travel bank. Vaytur.That still makes it 80% refundable (and likely 85% for the next few weeks). It is something I've kept in mind as a B6 mosaic.

It's either using 25k AA RT (even valued at 1.2 cpp, that's $300 worth of points), or spend the extra $40, get what's arguably a better ride, and earn 76k JB on the flight. What's the question???

Starpoint purchases can be made by members whose accounts have been active for a minimum of 14 days. Accounts that are less than the required 14 days in age will have the purchase attempt cancelled.
You're lucky they're not canceling the purchase entirely. Or unlucky if they don't post in time for you to do the points match.

Does the flight need to be booked under the account of the promotion entrant? Or would I be able to use credit from another totally unrelated account?I would assume as long as the flight is a. Revenue and b. Linked your TrueBlue number you should be fine. You could buy a ticket on Expedia which wouldn't either be booked from your TrueBlue account.

What was wrong with your first submission / screenshot?
Datapoint for anyone like me who was still waiting to be matched as of this morning. I originally submitted my screenshot on the 29th and hear back on the 2nd that it was not sufficient. I replied to them with a new screenshot and finally called jetblue this am to ask for a status. As others have indicated, the representation was not able to approve me on the phone but said I should wait as the responses were coming. Within 15 minutes I received an email approval.

Sound right?Don't paste into a word document. Just attach the actual image file (.png probably). If your computer doesn't automatically save it as a new file, just paste it into paint, and save it.

Is it random how long it takes to be matched for the promo or if u have status w/ JetBlue (I currently have Mosaic status) is there a chance it may be matched quicker?Random try calling see what happens

Was your account less than 14 days old?my spg cc is several months old but just registered for online spg account. though i think they automatically create an account when you sign up for card since they had to merge my accounts. anyhow, after talking to several unhelpful agents i purchased points again and im still waiting for them to post (2 hours ago)

Did they merge the new into the old or the old into the new? If the new account number is the one that was kept, you're probably running into the same issue as before with the account being less than 14 days old.

if everything checks out fine when purchasing spg points, how long do they take to post in account?Within the hour, but you can transfer before they post.

As well, but honestly I would suspect that if JB were to notice someone having submitted photoshopped evidence, they would probably just penalize the member internally (remove from award program, maybe even blacklist from flying), but wouldn't spend the time or effort to press charges.
Obviously submitting photoshopped evidence is illegal and immoral, and I'm in no way advocating it-- I was just wondering if that is the reason why JB wanted to verify the information.
I'm surprised that once JB realized what was happening with the transfers, they didn't revise the terms to also include an option to simply transfer 50k points to JB for a 75k point bonus.

They do have a privacy policy (https://www.virginamerica.com/cms/legal/privacy-policy) which doesn't list "sharing account information with rival frequent flier programs without informing you or obtaining your consent" as an acceptable action to take with your personal information. At best it opens them up to civil suit if they shared the information. It could also be seen as an anti-competitive action, something that DOJ is always looking for in all the airlines and is especially sensitive to with Virgin because of their upcoming merger that requires DOJ clearance. Bottom line, no way they would ever share this information, huge potential downside and absolutely zero upside.

I would say that refusing to share the information is a lot more anti-competitive than sharing it. In any case, I definitely agree that sharing the information has huge potential downside and absolutely zero upside. I'm just saying that I don't see any legal liability behind it.

AA has verified UA status during matches. Anything's possible if there's a will.
but this isn't the same thing. you can have 50,001 VA points and then use them right away. then when jetblue calls up VA the points wouldn't be there?
if someone did a photo shop and then they got an email saying they were accepted into the pointmatch. will jetblue still look into them? why would they bother sending out an approval email then?

I'm just saying that I don't see any legal liability behind it.Sharing what would otherwise be reasonably considered confidential customer information is practically the definition of collusion! By your definition, that whole sharing of pricing thing that ADM and their competitors did should have netted them a medal instead of prison terms?

Speaking of status match, I was totally asleep when this was going on. Any chance they'd honor a match if I send it in now?Possibly. Can't hurt to try. I don't know how to upload a request, though. Maybe call the mosaic line, wax poetic about your love for TrueBlue and your yearnings for the glory of Mosaic, and ask them for an email address to send a request to.

Out of curiosity is there a good lounge in JFK or BOS in the same terminal as Jetblue that can be accessed via Priority Pass? I'm about to cancel my Prestige card but I could wait till after my flight to cancel and still get my refund, but only want to do that if there's a reason. Thanks.There is apparently The Lounge in Terminal C at BOS, same as B6, not sure how good...it's pretty new. Priority Pass should work there.

Just booked for 8/2 EWR-BOS-EWR $115 PP RT. I received confirmation email for acceptance to the program for me and my 2 kids but wife never received hers. Called twice to confirm her enrollment but email still never came. I hope notating her account would avoid any headaches down the road. I assume booking a seat for 2 infants <2 would still be eligible to earn the promotion as long as they have a paid ticket and separate FF accounts? We will have only 1.5 hour layover in BOS, anything interesting in the airport to see?I'm flying out 8/2 also

While obviously noone can know, is it worth the risk to wait out booking a flight hoping that a sale will pop up?i personally would. The risk that the flights will go up very much is far lower than the benefit of a chance of a sale. Although I booked already because I needed a specific date and time.

I don't know if I agree with this. I've already seen several flights increase substantially, and I don't know if Jetblue will see a reason to have a sale with the current demand. And even if they do, there is no guarantee that those flights would work for you.

If an OTA ticket will work, then so should two tickets out of one account.

In Denver they charge $3 an hour for short term parking. I was hoping to find something similar but no such luck :(

Last night I started to book around 11:30 pm and got errors so i called in. I was on the phone for 2 hours to book 11 tickets. They had a issue because the price changed after 12:00 am est. But they transfered me to a call center in salt lake city, where they were able to book it for me

When you spend points, regardless of the origin of the points, you get 10% of those points credited back to your account. When you earn points, you do not get an earning bonus (the way you might with some FF statuses).

In some really small airports which are not built for connections, you will have to go through security again. Think Nantucket airport for example.

Yes should be real easy, I had a 30 min layover there few months ago, made it thru security with time to spare.

this would be in Vegas, so hopefully not an issue, as the return flight is the last one for the day, and missing it would require overnight stay.

I just spoke with a rep at JetBlue TrueBlue about the bonus PointsMatch points not having posted yet for a RT that ended on 7/18 (the base points posted in just under a week of each leg). She put me on hold and then came back to confirm that we did everything correctly. She put me on hold again to check when our bonus points would post. She explained that the bonus points were supposed to post automatically with the base points from the return trip. She explained further that, because of a glitch, they didn't. So now they need to do it manually, which she confirmed they would do for both mine and my wife's TrueBlue accounts. She said it would take 24 to 48 hours for this to be taken care of. So, if any others of you experienced this, chime in, and let us know how they're handling it for you.Interesting

Yup... I was surprised when she said they should have posted automatically with the return points, but I wasn't going to complain.
Update: For my TrueBlue account, 24 to 48 hours apparently just took 5 minutes. :-) Because my 75K bonus points have already been posted manually.

Oh, the only reason I called this soon (8 days after the return leg) was because some people reported the bonus points matching together with the base points for the return leg. So I figured a quick call to TrueBlue couldn't hurt. And, so far, it didn't!
Post by: Rindsy on July 26, 2016, 07:02:29 PM
I flew the 2nd leg of my roundtrip on July 8 - so took 4 or 5 days to post. It just came in as additional points on my flight, so got 75,800 points for the flight. Tried to attach a screenshot...
PSA: If your TrueBlue account doesn't look like this, it can't hurt to call and get the bonus points credited manually.

I changed an OTA booking on their website without issue.I had a hard time canceling on their website despite mosaic, probably because I used someone else's travel bank in booking, but eventually got it. Unfortunately the full refund now went into that travel bank. Also unfortunately prices are now way higher for any days that work for me, but I'll have to swallow it. BH cancelled tix for a good reason, nephew's bris scheduled for day of original flight

Why'd you fly that route 2 months ago?
$30 roundtrip for a day hop, and to qualify for jetblue roundtrip tiered bonus, after taking 3 roundtrips.

There are several dates in late Aug that are $109 RT NY-BOS with staying one night, for those still looking. There's also one date with JFK-IAD at $101 (8/30) - depart JFK at 6:10pm and land back at JFK at 9:51pm.

I booked 3 tickets, but in the end I'm only going with one other person. I plan on scanning the other 2 tickets, not the one with my name on it (I'll go myself again another day). Will they announce my name in the airport when they see the other 2 people in the party are on the flight?Don't JB only have paper boarding passes? (When I flew with them a few weeks ago I could not get one on my phone)
And if so, might the GA notice that the boarding pass that you scan has no scribbles from security?

Lots of times when you connect flights, and don't have to reclear security again, you don't get scribbles on the second leg boarding pass.

do i need to call to add an infant as a lap child? yes i know i should have bought him a ticket :P
Shouldn't need a ticket domestically, iinm.That's true, strictly speaking, but you still need to call to have the infant added:
Quote from: http://help.jetblue.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/webcgi.exe?New,Kb=askBlue,case=obj(1939)
Lap Children Traveling Within the U.S.
Customers traveling with lap children are required to call 1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583) to provide JetBlue with the name and birthdate of the lap child.
Quote
Infant ticketingBasically, they're not ticketed (as I assume they would be for international), but there needs to be a record of them being on the plane.
Infant tickets are required for all international flights. For U.S. domestic flights, infants do not require tickets unless they are occupying their own seat. Lap children under the age of 2 years old on U.S. domestic flights do not need to be ticketed. JetBlue files $0 infant fares in the GDS and expects all agencies to ticket their own international infants.
PNRs with infants traveling as a lap child or in their own seat need to show the following:
- Infants name the name field
- Infant SSRs are associated to an adult
- Secure Flight Documentation needs to be added for the infant in the form of the INFT SSR
I just booked it with the lap child in the first place, but you should probably just call at this point. And as far as your comment about buying a ticket - I personally see no reason to spend an extra $100+ for my 4 month old on a sub-2 hour flight. I booked aisle and window seats toward the back, hopefully it'll be empty and they'll let me bring the car seat on anyway.
Post by: David Smith on August 01, 2016, 12:06:48 PM
There's the same reason to spend $100+ for a 4 month old on a sub 2 hour flight as there is to go to BOS for 35 minutes.

The latter is being done to 'save' money (more accurately make money), while the former is purely for comfort when compared to just keeping the child on your lap.

Post by: lubaby on August 04, 2016, 12:06:20 AM
Just flew JB. I applied for the JB CC, and when I got to the airport I was charged for baggage. I went back online, and realized that in the fine print it says that the original ticket (and any changes) needs to be purchased with the JB card. Unfortunately I only applied for the JB card after purchasing the ticket, (and even had I had the CC at the time, I wouldn't have known the JB fine print that it's necessary to purchase the ticket with the JB card as most other airline credit cards do not require purchasing the ticket with their CC).-1
Any advice in fighting the charges?

-1Only UA requires purchasing the ticket on the card. AA and DL you just need to have the card linked to FFN.

Only UA requires purchasing the ticket on the card. AA and DL you just need to have the card linked to FFN.I've had problems with AA in the past (multiple cards on hand with free baggage allowance linked to FFN).
Rep insisted on charging since the award taxes were paid on different card.

I've flown AA plenty of times with multiple cards and never paid for the baggage.
Anyone had luck with JB flighting the charges? I messaged barclays and they just replied with the fine print....

ftfyActually 300-900, if I'm not mistaken.
It is a good deal, but JetBlue seats are pretty decent as it is, so it's not entirely necessary, depending on the route. I booked them LGA-FLL (600 points each way) just so I could take the front row on the flight.
(50k for 5 round-trip tickets, plus 6k for the seats, from a revenue based program.

Someone mentioned it before that it may notI was one who mentioned that I was concerned about the language. It says "by 8/31" which technically means up until ~12:01am on 8/31, barring 8/31 flights from qualifying. DAN and CSRs say that it still includes up until 11:59pm on 8/31 (even though I couldn't find that written anywhere).
Bottom line: Dan and CSRs say 8/31 flights are ok.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. If possible, I would like it to be more concrete. Also, I would like to be sure that this would still activate the JB match.
The other option is to throw away the ticket and reorder it at the later time. It would be $130 lost, but it might be the way to go. I'll call JB now.

It did mess up automated process (the missed leg was not auto credited and have to wait 2 weeks to get it credited manually) but rep confirmed he should still get points
The other option is to throw away the ticket and reorder it at the later time. It would be $130 lost, but it might be the way to go. I'll call JB now.

Just got off the phone after a 30+ min coversation with JB. Another issue is that I booked my flight with OTA because it offers free 24 hr cancellation. Unfortunately, because of this, the reservation doesn't show up when I log onto jetblue.com online (oddly enough, I can pull it up on my phone app). I had JB change the reservation to 8/30. The agent emailed me an updated itinerary and gave me the ticket number. My concern is that because the flight isn't linked to my TrueBlue account, I won't automatically get points for the flight, and more importantly, JB won't automatically give me the 75K match. The agent said I have to call JB after my flight and have them credit my account. She said that SHOULD trigger the 75K match. However, my flight is on 8/30, which is dangerously close to 8/31 deadline.

I had JB change the reservation to 8/30.Did you pay a change fee or fare difference ?
Post by: DaveInLA on August 12, 2016, 12:58:50 PM
Did you pay a change fee or fare difference ?
The new flight is actually a little cheaper. Even so, I had to pay $28. They do take the fare difference into account. I was supposed to pay an additional $50 fee for transferring the management of the itinerary over from the OTA over to JB, but the agent was able to waive it.
My main concern is that I can't see this flight when I log in to my TB account. The whole thing about manual credit isn't comforting, especially since my flight is on 8/30 and by the time all this is sorted it, it'll be past 8/31.
Post by: MosheD on August 12, 2016, 01:15:39 PM
As long as they see you flew by 8/31 everything should be fine.
But call up later, use your confirmation number and link your trueblue account. If all that is done should auto credit

With Mosaic status you can purchase those seats for 300 points.
I did that for 300.
It was an even better deal because I earned an additional 200 points per leg that had even-more-space. Once you add in the 10% redemption rebate (B6+ CC), the cost of the even-more-space goes down from 300 to 70!
Post by: David Smith on August 12, 2016, 06:39:14 PM
I did that for 300.You always earn an extra 200 points per leg with EMS seats?

Yup can see it on their earn points page.Thanks. I'm feeling less guilty wasting 300 points a person on a one hour flight. (Scandalously enough, I transferred those points from amex, so it was 375MR a person, or about $10 roundtrip. This cuts it down to $6, which feels better for some reason.)

You'll be fine.Did she not mention anything about multi city? I flew a multi city begining on the 1st and finishing on the 11th. Nothing posted yet...
I called JB CSR last week to confirm my enrollment in 75K mile promotion since e-mail was so corny & unprofessional.
She said only rule is to complete 1 r/t or 2 o/w by end of 31 AUG. Got $29 o/w tix LGB to LAS for entire family.
Now looking for kid friendly hotels there w/water slides!

They manually credited it , now why would jumping on another plane help? I don't see why it should post Again
Call them up. Try to get them to manually credit 75k to your account. Then, if you're daring, jump on a plane.

If it didn't post for first flight why would it post next time and if it would automatically post it would again be based on the original flight why would a second flight helpif the reason it didnt post was because of an issue with the flight getting credited but your account has on it that a flight should trigger the bonus then another flight should trigger the bonus

if the reason it didnt post was because of an issue with the flight getting credited but your account has on it that a flight should trigger the bonus then another flight should trigger the bonusRight it actually wasn't credited either for my family members as well, they were on same flight. Would it be possible for the flight to still be credited or it wouldn't past 2 weeks.
It's possible they only credited the base points and then the bonus automatically followed. Is there any email that gets sent out for the bonus points once they get posted? I just got the typical email that points were received but no mention of the point match in email.

no email for bonus points ime
Post by: aryeh1 on August 15, 2016, 07:40:53 AM
it doesnt usually take anywhere near that.But on the activity page it shows points were issued under point match so it might recognize that the points were received. I didn't see any reports of dp.

I couldn't link it online and the agent couldn't do it over the phone either. The agent said its because it was booked via OTA, but I think it's because a very minor difference in the way the OTA has my name. But the actual ticket has my name spelled he same as my TB account
Update, I called JB again and spoke to another agent-- the flight is now linked to my account. Not sure why the first agent couldn't do it. Maybe the system lag someone mentioned...
