I have bitachon that Dan will resolve this as he did the Fairmont Groupon fiasco a few years back (Although I was not yet a talmid of Dan at that point so I didn't benefit from it).

That's too long ago for most of us to remember. More recently our faithful Shepard was arguably the cause for the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem releasing free night availability

Send a reply asking for the name of the representative behind the denial. Tell them it would be helpful for the DoT, BBB, and CFPB complaints you responsibly plan on filing, in leu of the fact that you have archived terms and conditions not mentioning a word about any flight earnings requirements. Thank them for their anticipated response.
first i have to email them why i dont qualify than i can start kvetching

I disagree.

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.

Difference is:

Count of people who spent $2,000<<count of people who trade 40k SPG for 50k VX

Did anyone capture a screenshot of the TOC? I sent in my elevate screenshot while it was still up and active, but they have since taken it down from their site. I'll need it if I stand any chance of talking my way through this.

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...

What am I missing?

+10000000000

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.

I'm hoping that all request be honored, as I already invested 80,000 SPG points into this.

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!

Respectfully, that doesn't make any sense. You're saying transferring points=non-revenue travel? Huh?

The simplest solution.... is the best one

Thank you.

Now I have to hope my son will get approved with only transferred points.

The outcome I see for myself is being stuck with 150k VX miles and being forced to fly them and than never fly JB again.

I spoke with someone at the True Blue department,

The Rep I spoke with spent the entire day fielding expedite requests from people but was not able to honor any of them the only one she was able to approve was someone who was rejected already she transferred him to the points match department and they had him resend and approve on the spot.

She said the entire points match department is in a meeting right now that started about an hour ago and will probably last another hour so no matches are being done right now.
