JetBlue Deal-Save $100 Off Roundtrip Flights

JetBlue Deal-Save $100 Off Roundtrip Flights

 

6pm Update: Code below and presumably all other $50 codes now only takes $25 off each way. Feel free to use this $30 code so you can get a total of $60 off a roundtrip: 3QK3F4W2

JetBlue sent out codes today valid for $20-$300 off flights that originate from the U.S., valid for travel between 9/14/12-11/7/12, book by midnight 9/14/12. What you may not know is that, even if your code was only for $20 or $30, you can use code 8W2DQ3S4 for $50 off each flight. That means that if you book a round-trip as two one-ways, you can get $100 off any JetBlue flight originating from a U.S. city. That's enough to tempt even me to fly domestically to visit friends–it may not be Cathay Pacific First Class, but it's hard to argue with a transcontinental flight for just $200 roundtrip, which is what I booked. Plus I found a great TravelSort Hotels rate that saves me almost $200 per night for that first night, before I stay with friends, so I'm happy! 

Here's what you do:

1. Go to http://jetblue.com/promo

JetBlue Deal-Save $100 Off Roundtrip Flights from U.S.


2. Input your cities, dates, travelers and the above promo code, then click the orange “Find flights” button

As noted, if you want to save $50 each way, then select “One-way.” Here are the choices we got for a random October date for NYC-Boston, with the lowest priced flights in orange (note this is *before* the discount is applied):

3. Select your flight in order to see the $50 discount, then select the “Continue” button at the bottom of the page

In our NYC-Boston example, after applying the discount, the fare is just $7! Where else will you manage to get a roundtrip NYC-Boston for $14? 

The only thing I'm not thrilled with is that many JetBlue flights don't have the best on-time arrival record. Although the data is from last year, see Best and Worst U.S. Airlines: Late Flights, Cancellations, Lost Luggage

4. Complete Check-Out and Pay

I'd recommend either using an AMEX Prepaid if you've managed to purchase reloads with your Ink Bold or Ink Plus, to get 4.6X, or using the AMEX Premier Rewards Gold card to get 3X on airline spend. If you don't have any of these, the Sapphire Preferred will get you 2X, since airline spend counts as travel.

 

FAQ

When must I book by?

Book by 9/14/12 11:59pm ET

 

When must I travel by?

Travel between 9/14/12-11/7/12. All travel must be completed by 11/7/12.


What if I got a $75, $100, $300 etc. discount code, can I use it multiple times?

Lucky you! Unfortunately not, according to the terms and conditions: the codes are only supposed to be for one-time use, it just so happens that the code above is generic and appears to be able to be used multiple times. You could try using the code you were emailed in two or three different browser sessions (ie Chrome, IE, Firefox) to try to get it two or three times for different passengers or different itineraries, but your mileage may vary–I can't guarantee this will work for you, or how long the code in this post will continue working.

 

Can I cancel?

You can cancel without penalty within 24 hours of booking IF the travel was booked seven or more days prior to the departure date, so it can make sense to grab flights if you think you may use them, even if you need a few hours to decide. If you do cancel, make sure you specify that you want it refunded back to your credit card, and not as JetBlue travel credits.

Make sure to read the terms associated with the ticket you book. The lowest priced JetBlue tickets are non-refundable, and after 24 hours of booking, you'll need to pay a $100 per person fee + any applicable difference in fare to change them. Keep in mind that if you have two one-way tickets, that would be $100 for each ticket, so you want to make sure you're happy with the dates.

Will you be taking advantage of the JetBlue promo, and if so, where are you flying to?
