Another data point - one-way LAX-BOS in first week March weekday, on what is currently slotted as a321Neo, only took 1 MTM certificate for the leg. I will say, if/when they start letting us see how many certificates it'll take before booking... if the ones I locked in at 2 MTM per segment are then showing as 1 MTM, it's an obvious cancel-rebook-reupgrade. How will JetBlue IT handle canceling a flight where you've already applied certificates? Any bets on the smoothness of the process in getting access to those certificates again?

Ive seen that message before when searching for availability on JFK-LAX. At least for me, it means that I dont have enough certificates available for use for that particular flight.

Which would mean that one segment upgrade is more than 4 certs, which would be kind of crazy given that prices aren't that high. Too bad even customer service has no idea how many certificates it would cost. Hopefully they will actually process MTM normally when the 48/24 hours come up.

Starting 1/4/24, you can redeem Move to Mint certificates immediately after booking. After you finish booking your core seat and check out, just head to
jetblue.com/manage-trips. You can Move to Mint any time before check-in, up to two hours before departure. You get to choose which flights you want to apply your certificates to, instead of them being assigned automatically.

They definitely won't process MTM manually in any way in the T-48 window - as part of the new change, that process no longer exists and you must apply the certificates yourself using dynamic pricing, in advance. From https://www.jetblue.com/trueblue/mosaic under "How Move to Mint works":

From what I've encountered, I've booked a few blue fares where the corresponding mint fare was $799 and under. Those flights required only 1 certificate. I've briefly had a flight booked where mint was $1200+. Those required at least 3. So as long as the mint fare is low, it's possible the required certificate amount will drop but no guarantees it'll happen.

I havent tried out the $800-$1200 range for mint fares so I have no idea how many certificates are required. But based on my limited sample size, it could be 1-3 certificates for that fare range.

Its pretty aggravating system (and classic JetBlue IT) that you cant determine the number of required certificates until after you book and ticket a flight.
I spent yesterday booking and cancelling itineraries, as everything I tried came up with 2 certificates required on domestic itineraries.

ticketed with both miles and strictly cash payment and both were immediately credited back to the original form of payment under the 24 hour rule.
