Frequentcy of X% off Award Redemption Sales
I love JetBlue, but I don't fly them a lot. I have a decent stash of points now thanks to the credit card, and I'm trying to figure out if I should redeem them now for winter travel or wait. I know B6 runs 15% off award redemption sales occasionally, but since I don't book tickets with them a lot, I haven't paid enough attention to them, and I don't have a sense of frequency. Anecdotally, how often does JetBlue run these? Are these once in a blue moon marketing efforts, or do they come along pretty regularly?

Since JetBlue's program is revenue based, the number of points will generally be proportional to the cost of the ticket. Sometimes it's a better deal than others, and there's always the chance they will devalue it in some way, but you would probably be ok holding onto there points and using them when you actually need them unless a good sale comes along and you can find something appealing.
