5,000 JetBlue True Blue Points for Three Roundtrips
January 28, 2013

The email says:
"Here’s something to celebrate: We’re giving 5,000 bonus points to every TrueBlue member who purchases and flies three roundtrip JetBlue flights in 2013. It’s that easy. That’s 5,000 extra points to use toward any seat, anytime, on any flight operated by JetBlue. Period."
I couldn't find any more information on the promo, but it sounds pretty clear: no registration, no hassle.

Welcome New York Times Readers
January 27, 2013
I know there are some people who have wandered over since reading about the site in the New York Times.
From my experience, some of you will mistakenly conclude that traveling with miles is too difficult for you and will miss out on the way all of us fly for pennies around the world in First Class.
I spent $90 for a First Class Suite, bed, gourmet food, top-shelf alcohol, and access to an onboard shower. Thanks miles!Don't be one of these people.
