Similar for me. SFO-LAS same day return on 7/20. Outbound posted yesterday, inbound posted today along with bonus points.

Anyone have any experience with legitimately earning more VX miles between registering for the promo and flying the flight? I now have the next tier up and wouldn't mind the extra miles but not sure if it is worth asking?

Just booked a JFK-BOS-JFK for $91, out at 7am on a monday and back before I need to start work at noon.

Doesn't hurt to ask. Let us know how it worked out.

same here. Sat to Sun. Let me know when you get yours posted and I'll do the same. :)

Same here, but the other way around. I'm getting antsy waiting for my points to post.

Has anyone confirmed if two one-ways (open jaw) will trigger the promotion? I reached out to JetBlue but never got an answer.

My apologies for not reading the entire thread.

It should, jetblue said yes. I'll be able to confirm for sure in a couple days when my points post.

has anyone done two flights with connection on a single record locator like LAS-LGB-OAK and counts for promo?

My partner and I completed our day turn SFO > LGB yesterday (sat)

Our points just posted, finally, from Saturday's round trip. 150K extra points now in the family pooling account :)

This works. But you have to make sure it's actually pricing as two segments and not a connecting fare. You can verify by checking the fare basis code in ITA matrix. Also, for this to work, both segments need to be on same reservation. JetBlue has explicitly confirmed that if they are NOT together in the same reservation, then it will NOT count

Just flew OAK-LGB-SMF on 7/26. While they were priced separately and included on the same reservation, my check-in reminder email said "Check-in for your flight to SMF" instead of LGB. I'm hoping it didn't count the two segments as a one-way, but I'll update whenever the points from the flight post.

I remember they explicitly stated that 2 one ways counted. I flew 2 one ways and my second flight should post tomorrow.

Saturday SFO-LGB RT and all points posted today.

My sincere apology to JetBlue for not believing it would follow through with the promo. You just jumped to the top of my short favorite airline list!

Flew Sat 7/23 EWR-BOS RT and 75,528 points posted today (7/28). Thanks JetBlue!

Met another flyer doing exactly same thing for the points.
