JetBlue just launched a two day 30% redemption discount for bookings made by 11:59PM ET on April 26, 2013. You can access JetBlue’s web page for this offer here.
This offer is valid for travel on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday between May 2 and June 26, 2013. The discount is not valid for travel between May 23 and May 27, however.
The value of a TrueBlue points is usually around 1.3 to 1.5 cents, as flights are priced dynamically. Note that the minimum award cost is 5000 TrueBlue points.
Here’s an example for LAX to JFK travel
The lowest price of a direct flight on May 14 is $171.
The same flight costs 8300 points + $2.50 using TrueBlue points. The value of a point for this flight is around 2 cents with the 30% off redemption offer. This doesn’t take into account the number of TrueBlue points you would earn from a paid flight.
Conclusion
