Total cost (not including hotels/rentals/other transportation).
175400 Jetblue Points (after 10% points rebate)
$212 in taxes fees ($262 minus $50 amex offer)
$218 travel bank + 1 MTM certificate
At 1.3 cpp, roughly $2700 total. I feel I can definitely optimize it a bit more, and can rebook flights if they drop in price. I'm also based on the west coast, but just happen to be in the east coast for a week or two.
Thanks for previous posters for inspiration and ideas!
Well done. And it sounds like this will for the most part be after the brunt of the end-of-summer bad weather is over. All you have to worry about is JetBlue not getting in their own way

Surely BUF-SFO isn't a Mint flight, is it?? I am not as in the loop as I used to be but that would be very surprising to me. There is next to zero premium demand out of BUF.
