Any ideas how to use up the travel credit on JetBlue? I am Mosaic, so I get two bags free and use a few hundred points to get Extra Legroom Sets. I have the full $200 credit to use, with now idea how to use up.

(I have JetBlue as my designated airline to get the 35% Bonus.)

Did 14 AA GC a few weeks ago.
Got credit for all by Amex.

Today I see AA canceled all GC and issued me a refund.

Now waiting to see if Amex will retract Airline credit.

book a ticket and pay upgrade then when you call to cancel ask them top put it in your travel bank that way you wont need to worry about any claw backs
