No AYCJ in 2011
Just received an email announcing that there will be no AYCJ in 2011.

Nice of them to give you a heads up.
Nice of them to give you a 30% off code as a "sorry to dissapoint you"
Nice of them to give you a friends & family 15% code to share with your friends at Flyer Talk

Thats weird, I posted in another thread that I sat next to a JB marketing person and they were working on the AYCJ promo positioning statements last week. I guess maybe they decided not to go with it.

NOOOOO. September looks like a free month for me and I could have finally taken advantage of this!
But good on them to let us know 2 months in advance. I would have been even more disappointed if they had told us in mid-August.

I would imagine that companies work all the time on trying to market something internally and then when it is successful they launch to the public. If they cannot sell it internally then they never launch.

I saw that they were considering 2 options:
1) AYCJ $599
2) AYCJ excluding certain days of the week (I think starting on Friday ) $499
That's probably what the old promotion was and she just happened to have the language up and I caught a glimpse, too bad it didn't happen.

Did any other former AYCJers get this email from JetBlue? I did AYCJ last year and I didn't receive anything. Nothing in my spam filters either.
I suspected that they wouldn't be going this program again as business seems to have improved, but would like to take advantage of the promo codes.
