Ah, yes it's explicit now. The previous terms left some room for ambiguity, iirc.

Do you have to actually fly the ticket? Can you just book a cheap RT ticket (i.e. JFK-BOS) but not actually fly it?

Let me guess - 50,001?

They say "completed all travel" - so I think you do need to actually fly it.

Just submitted mine. Anyone think they may cut this opportunity off at some point if they get too many requests (i.e. Hyatt Diamond matching)?

That's the fear. Hopefully we aren't too late...after all the deal just popped up yesterday.

Probably not, as this requires "cash in" (i.e., we need to buy tickets and fly) for possible future redemption of points.

Jetblue is known for being customer-friendly, but my fear is actually that someone upstairs didn't think this one through and issues an order to halt all processing until all sorts of restrictions/limitations can be put in.

BUT, the flip side is that if we can show that we submitted our request before then, we can probably get grandfathered in.

Fingers crossed.

Offer can be cancelled or modified at any time.
Totally agree, and this boilerplate text in the fine-print would let them back out.

I really think the number of people willing and able to go through these hurdles isn't huge.

While I think it's a great deal, I'm not too worried that it'll get shut down due to popularity.

The promo is only running for a little over a week too. If only they would approve my screenshot, been shot down twice already for it being 'too small'. I just resent another full resolution of my entire laptop screen last night.

It seems like SPG transfer times to VX are increasing. Transfers were completing almost instantaneously before this promo. Now there are several reports of transfers that were initiated early yesterday still not having posted.
