Make sure to limit your search to Jetblue on Expedia. If you don't, only the least expensive flights will be shown for each airline, and selecting Jetblue after the non-airline-specific search won't retrieve the more expensive flights. On the other hand, with limited search, Expedia shows all flights and prices you can see on jetblue.com.

Can someone explain how fixed jetblue redemtion works for tyn points. I have 70k points to redeem and wondering if jetblue would work well for me. So I could buy x3 20k fixed jetblue flights thru TYN, then call jet blue right away cancell and not be subject to fees as one person here said? What kind of credit would then post to my jetblue account? Would it be blue points or dollar value redemption? Would I be forced to redeem future flight for the same person for whom the cancelled flight was for?

so If I book a caribian jetblue flight for $1000 and book a domestic for $400, Call jetblue and cancell both flights I will have $1,400 available in credit with jetblue? I presume this is to redeem in 1 year. Can I really book as many future tickets with this credit as I want and issue them to whom ever I want? Do the tickets need to be nonrefundable? I definantly don't want the points being returned to citi/thank you network. This sounds like a great deal if anyone want's jet blue credit since I believe if you cancell within 24 hrs. jet blue doesn't charge a cancelation fee. Can I get confirmation this really works? Thanks so much!

You buy a nonrefundable ticket through TYN and then call Jet Blue to cancel no later than 4 hours after booking. Just use expedia to find your ticket and restrict the search to Jet Blue only. Good luck!

Has anyone canceled same day and had jetblue credit applied to jetblue acount? TYN phone rep suggested I wait 4 days to cancel or risk jetblue returning payment to thank you network. I wanted to cancell same day and avoid jetblu cancell fee but not if I risk loosing my fixed fare redemption altogether.

I found $995 iter SFO-SUJ
I found the perfect $995 Iter SFO to SUJ (took many many tries)
PM me if you want it. I also called Jetblue but they say there is no 24 hour or 4 hour rule, they only refund if you made a mistake within minutes or 1 hour of booking.
Also wondering about refunding back to TYP, but seems like Jetblue don't offer that.

anyone know if an itineraries with both refundable and non-refundable legs is considered as non-refundable in it's entirety or is it considered per leg basis? It might not make a difference if I can make sure they put it in my trueblue account.
