Can't use travel bank fuds for pet fee?
 

Does anyone know why you can't apply your travel bank balance to Jet With Your Pet fees? It would only let me apply it to the $5.XX in taxes on a points booking which I found really annoying as I was hoping for the pet fee to almost zero out my travel bank balance.

I'm not sure why, but I feel I recall reading somewhere on the Jetblue site that TB can't be used for pet fees

It could have been the JetBlue website:

"Using Travel Bank credits
JetBlue travel credits may be used toward JetBlue airfare and taxes, the air portion of a JetBlue Vacations package, change or cancellation fees and any applicable increase in airfare for changes."

Yup! Here's the copy and paste from Jetblue

Items ineligible for purchase with Travel Bank creditTravel credits cannot be used to pay for any of the following:

• Change or cancellation fees for reservations booked with TrueBlue points
• Same-day change fees
• Ancillary fees
  • Even More® Speed
  • Even More® Space seats
  • Baggage fees
  • Pet fees
  • Unaccompanied minor fees
• ShopBluehttps://www.jetblue.com/ui-assets/in...ternalLink.svg merchandise
• Inflight purchases
• Past-flown flights
• Partner airline flights
  
  There was so many drop down clicks, but I knew that I read it somewhere!

I think the real reason is that it lives in Sabre in a record tied to a PNR and Sabre doesn't have the flexibility to apply it to anything that isn't a fare or a tax. The things that are excluded are accounted for via different mechanisms.

hello, I’m just looking for an answer to this question, thanks to everyone who helped me solve this problem, I’m just flying with problems for the first time and I’m really shocked by how many nuances there are))
