Flash Sale: 20% Discount on JetBlue Awards

Since JetBlue prices TrueBlue award tickets according to the market price of the same ticket in dollars, any sale on revenue tickets amounts to a sale on award tickets. The price of an award ticket and the price of a paid ticket go hand in hand. Specifically, every TrueBlue point is worth around 1.2 cents when redeemed for JetBlue flights.

For a very limited time, JetBlue is severing that lock-step relationship, offering award tickets at a 20 percent discount to their normal prices.

Bookings at the discounted rates must be made by April 8, and apply to flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, between May 2 and June 7.

The discount is awarded automatically when booking eligible flights on the JetBlue website.

The booking window is a narrow one, and the day-of-the-week restriction will be a deal-breaker for many. It’s not, in other words, a particularly user-friendly award sale.

Nevertheless, it is an award sale, and as such offers potentially greater value for your TrueBlue points. Take advantage of it if you can.
