In my case, I believe that the JetBlue ticket value is about $135, which means I'll have $35 towards the purchase of a new ticket due to their $100 change fee.
And I miscalculated on my breaking even. If the coupon falls through, I'll be out $100ish. Worth the risk, but I'm not going to go crazy like some of the the others here. Also, I'm not called Fred.

Sorry Joe, I mean Pete.) I was thinking SeattleFred when I responded sorry.
Thanks for the tip about getting residual ticket value.^
