Every airline only opens up certain days. For some it is 330 days out. For others it is to a certain point in time. Both systems work and, in nearly every case, none of the airlines put the cheapest seats on sale on day one. Buying as soon as they are released probably isn't a good plan anyways.

Jet Blue's reward redemption levels are based on the published base fare of the flights you select at the time of booking. So the number of points needed will follow the fares.
If you are booking for a high demand time period (Christmas-New Year's holiday, for example), the fares are not likely to go down from where they start out, and booking immediately would be desirable. For lower demand time periods, I agree that waiting for a fare sale is typically a good strategy. Since Jet Blue does not have black-out dates and the reward redemption levels follow the fares, this works equally as well for award travel.

Just repeating what their e-mail says. However I read it as noon as that is the more common (although technically incorrect) use of 12pm (and the reason your insurance policy begins and ends at 12:01am to avoid this confusion).
