Book any JetBlue award by 11:59 PM ET tomorrow (July 25, 2014) for travel from September 2 to October 31, 2014, and you’ll get 20% of the points back in November or December 2014.
If you have Fall travel planned but not booked, this is a nice rebate.
You can transfer 250 Membership Rewards to 200 JetBlue points if you’re short of the award you want. With this 20% rebate on awards, that may make sense.
The highest value award is for Mint Class between New York and Los Angeles and, starting October 26, New York and San Francisco. You can get a fully flat bed in a fully enclosed Mint Suite for 34,800 TrueBlue points, plus you’d get 6,960 TrueBlue points back for use on a future flight.
I wrote extensively about the amenities and price that make Mint “By Far The Best Deal on Domestic Business Class” so check out that post for far more information on why I’d take advantage of this rebate to book Mint Class.
- What are the full terms and conditions of the 20% rebate?

Flying SAN – BOS for 11,800 less 20% and paying $85 for exit row struck me as better than using 27k for Mint. To each their own. I’m glad the promo will work for me, it saved me the trouble of figuring out what airline miles to burn to cross the country. Exit row will work just fine.
Exit row will definitely be fine especially since the normal pitch in economy on JetBlue is equal to United Economy Plus and you get live TV. But man those Mint Suites look incredible!
