Jetblue Pointsmatch (potential for 75000 jetblue points)

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

I'm guessing if they pull back on it due to everyone transferring from spg etc, its better to get in sooner rather than later. And the transfer value as is from SPG to virgin america is not the worst thing if it doesn't work out.

I don't see this on FT yet

Posted $102 on DDMS, doubt there's cheaper.

I see $44 each way Long Beach to Sacramento out here on west coast.  Intriguing.

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..

So as someone who has never flown virgin america before I now just transferred 50k pts to my newly established Elevate account. I think JetBlue needs to rethink this promotion   ;)

So JB is going to see a bunch of account screen shots with 51,000 points, 0 credits, 0 segments & Red Elevate.
They'll figure it out but it's within the rules! :)

i just find it hard to believe that they dont put a stop to this. seems too good to be true. and with JB, the points are straight revenue that they will be losing, it will cost them a fortune.

the problem is that if i do this for the entire fam and JB decides to play hardball, i get stuck with a ton of elevate points that i dont need.

decisions, decisions

I recently booked 4 flights with VX points (for 80,000) -- can I cancel, have the points re-deposited, and then re-book the same itinerary? (Are VX flights on points refundable?)

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

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