JetBlue Roundtrip Certificate Worth?
I won two certificates on The Ellen Show. Each is good for a roundtrip flight anywhere JetBlue flys by 12/19/2019.
Does anyone have a fair guess of how much each certificate is worth based on the rules and black out dates? Been contemplating if I should keep them for myself or give away / sell.
Update: I can't post photos due to forum rules. Basically the certificate states that government fees are not included and must be paid with a credit card.

As far as what the certificates are worth to you, I’d check the rates online for the routes of most interest during peak travel times. If you’re interested in dates that have yet to be released, try posting that info for experienced JetBlue flyers to chime in.
As a data point, my husband & I had a nice JetBlue Mint red eye flight from SEA to BOS for a little under $1K total on Monday night/Tues morning. Service was top notch. We unfortunately got caught in a delay caused by the Sabre system going down. We then had 2 medical emergencies while still at the gate, one of which required evacuating a woman. We arrived in BOS about 2 hours late. Crew was top notch and handled the issues very professionally.

For roundtrip travel within the Continental U.S., government fees should be $11.20 per passenger. For travel to foreign destinations, government fees will be higher.

I had 2 JB certificates as well. I used them to travel from FLL - NAS. Because this was an international trip, I had to cover all of the taxes for both tickets but it covered the base price of the fare. I did have difficulty using them as I tried to book a flight to NYC around the holidays last year and they told me I was unable to. The person on the phone told me the best advice for using the certificates is to book them for a trip that is far out as they only reserve a certain number of seats on each plane for discounted type tickets (certificates included).
