I missed the 20% bit in my initial reading of it. Good catch. My guess is that the 20% was supposed to be $20 based on $10 each way and someone did a search/replace for $/%. Whoopsie.
I would expect to only get 10%, not 20%.
It is also worth checking the actual fares on your routes before choosing which code to use. The break-even point is $100 in base fare each way. Over that the 10% will get you more than the $10.

Any idea if this is targeted? I haven't seen it in any of the B6 accounts I manage for the family. And I've got a friend headed to SJU who could really use one!

I think that someone with a fundamental misunderstanding of math wrote the fine print on this offer. I clicked the link and used the code to attempt to book a roundtrip. Sure enough, it gave me 10% off one way...and 10% off the other way. That's 10% off a roundtrip, not 20% off. Do you think they'll correct the typo or actually offer 20% off on roundtrips?
UPDATE: I think I get it now. OCTJET gives $10 off one ways, $20 off roundtrip. OCTJET2 gives 10% off, one-way or roundtrip. Someone must've cut and pasted the terms without doing adequate copy editing. Either that, or my first theory remains correct.
