Others match this offer?
Is there any possibility that an of the other airlines might try and follow suit with a deal such as this? At least maybe see a break in fare prices while this promo is running?

This is a nice deal, especially if they let you do same-day returns. A day trip to NYC from my home is $450 for 3 day advance purchase. I'd bite but will be in Thailand for most of the pass validity period.

A same-day return looks to be OK but same-day city hopping does not.

If I wasnt in my last semester of school starting Sept 8th. Id be all about this promotion. Granted my friends who live in Chicago might tire of picking me up, dropping me off, crashing on their couch for a month. I could spend the month at various Caribbean destinations.
Dear Jet Blue - Please add Green Bay as one of your departure cities just from Sept 8 - Oct 8. It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

You pay taxes for every trip down there.
You do not get mileage for the travel.
Tickets and pass taxes are not that different.
You get mileage for tickets.

You'd pay taxes with a revenue ticket or a FF ticket. It is a wash in that regards unless the passes' taxes/fees are higher than a regular ticket. Well you do a couple dummy bookings from the West Coast to Caribbean destinations and you'll see how much it costs us to get down there. If one has a lot of free time, it is worth it.

And they're not even FF miles, they're soon-to-be-outdated TrueBlue 1.0 points.

I do not understand this claim. The taxes are the same for international destinations whether one travels on this pass or on a paid ticket. The difference is in the airfare component. Certainly this pass would be a questionable deal for a single trip somewhere. But if one is willing to make two trips to the Caribbean the $599 will get very close to covering the fare component of the costs. Three trips makes it almost certain.
