I hope this makes it clear. You might be better off copying and pasting this (and, as a protip, making it a
lot more concise) in an email to JetBlue to get a positive response in writing.

So in others words, someone who has points basically have less travel bank exposure then right when booking and canceling? Now if it's someone that travels a lot, then this isn't an issue. But someone that travels rarely, now they are at risk of having a bigger travel balance they would like to have where they might not be able to use it within a year?
Also the only way to confirm what type of refund you get would be go and try to cancel your flight, then it will tell you exactly what you get back to your points or travel bank or credit card right? Thus it will always let you know exactly what and exact amount you get back?
But are you positive that what you say applies when someone use jetblue points to book... and say there was a short sale promotion where you can book with lesser points and the same would apply? Like book a flight by tonight and take advantage of discount if you book with points and your booking is between certain dates?
