Jetblue = Caveat Emptor

It's not really that bad. If you do five BOS-LAX roundtrips within a year, at $350 pop, you'll earn about 24,000 points, which is worth about $336 at $0.14/point.
(350 X 6 X 5 = 10500 + 500 + 1000 + 2000 bonus points for hitting 3,000, 6,000, and 9,000 points + 10,000 "go long bonus")
With the dollar-based earning, you obviously do a lot better if you buy expensive tickets.
