Policy is to prep flights 5, 3, and 1 day out. Each flight is supposed to be prepped three times before the day-of.

A flight on Thursday should have been prepped Saturday, Monday, and again today (Wednesday).

I haven't tried it yet, but the only other thing I can think of is booking 9 refundable tickets and checking again. That said, does JetBlue over sell their flights? If so knowing there are nine seats I can book doesn't do much good.
JetBlue doesn't oversell, no.
