I just received an email from JetBlue that probably went out to all True Blue (its loyalty program) members. The email contains a promo code that will discount a mystery amount from any JetBlue roundtrip that originates in the U.S..
What do I mean by a mystery amount? To take advantage, you have to go to jetblue.com/promo, type in your code, perform a flight search, and select flights.
Then on the right side of the screen where the total cost is displayed, your mystery discount along with the new total will be displayed. The mystery discount is between $20 and $500, and mine was $100!
To take advantage of this deal, travel must be booked by the end of tomorrow (5/1), and all flights must be completed by 6/20.
Because I have a $100 discount, I can fly roundtrip from Long Beach to Portland for $72 or Long Beach to Las Vegas for $14 roundtrip (just taxes). This is especially fantastic because, bar none, JetBlue is my favorite airline in coach. Its seats have 34″ of pitch instead of the industry standard 31″, and it offers free DirecTV at every seat.
How can you exploit this offer? If you check your email, and you got this promotional email, go to jetblue.com/promo immediately to find out the size of your discount, which you can do by making any dummy search and selection of flights. Now that you know your discount size, you can price out any trips you may want to take between now and 6/20.
What if you have a code and can’t use it? No worries! They are transferable, so alert a family member or friend who might be thinking about flying soon. If that fails, post your code (and the discount size if you know it) in the comments for another milevalue reader to enjoy.
What if you don’t have a code but want one? I think I’ll be using my code, but if not, I’ll post it here. And hopefully some other readers with codes they can’t use will put their codes here too.
Here’s a photo from two days ago as I waited at the gate to fly LAS-BUR on JetBlue.
Per the email, here are the T&C:
Restrictions: The promo code emailed to you is valid until 05/01/12 (11:59 PM ET) for a one-time mystery discount ranging from $20 to $500 off the base fare of a roundtrip JetBlue flight originating from the U.S. (including Puerto Rico) between 5/01 – 6/20/12. Roundtrip purchase required; you must select outbound and return flights within the eligible travel period in order to view and receive the discount. Discount value of promo code will be revealed when you search for a flight before you complete your purchase; purchase required at time of reservation. Code (case-sensitive) is valid for one-time use only for flights purchased on jetblue.com/promo; new bookings only; limit one code per booking. Code cannot be combined with other offers, cannot be partially redeemed, has no cash value, is not redeemable for cash, but is transferable. Code is not valid in connection with JetBlue Getaways, award flights, taxes/fees, partner, code share or interline flights, oversized, overweight or extra baggage fees, or any other products or services. If flight reservation is changed or cancelled, a $100 fee per person will apply (plus any increase in fare for changes), and the promo code discount will be forfeited and will not apply to any modified or new reservation. Cancellations are for JetBlue travel credit only, valid for one year. If reservation is not changed/canceled prior to scheduled departure, all money associated with reservation is forfeited.

I got $50 which is not bad. We’ll see what the wife gets for her code, maybe worth a weekend trip outta LGB somewhere in June. Interesting & thought provoking promo.
Oh & since I’ve moved to the Left Coast I have nothing but love for Jetblue, even if the LGB terminal currently is a pole barn.
The terminal is nothing special, but the planes are incredible. And LAX and LGB are about equidistant from me, so I save half an hour by flying out of LGB since the security line is two people and the traffic is nonexistent.
Picked a buddy up from LAX last night at midnight and the traffic was insane on the airport’s grounds.
Im looking to book a ticket for a date thats very expensive but unfortunately i didnt get the email with a coupon code 🙁
If anyone has one that they dont plan on using, I’d really appreciate you sharing it with me.
Thanks 🙂
Right now I am offering my code to a few close friends, but if none can use it I’ll email you with the code tomorrow afternoon Pacific Time.
Thanks so much. I’d really appreciate if you could do that 🙂
according to dan’s deals, the codes are multi use, so share away. $100 is the best I’ve heard of.

Interesting, the T&C says r/t only and one time use only, but that’s fantastic that some people have had success using them for oneways and using the $50 and $75 codes multiple times.
My family is all signed up for Jet Blue emails, so in total we got four codes: three of them for $50, one for $100. I’m tempted by a last minute trip, since I can’t remember ever seeing $128 (after $100 discount) all-in nonstop roundtrip from Boston to Orlando 🙂
Awesome. If you use them, enjoy those savings, if not post them here, especially the $100 code.
Ok, I decided to bail on my thoughts of a quick trip to Florida. So here’s a valid $100 code for whoever can grab it first: 8YEAC9F8F5
Enjoy! 🙂
Very generous, hope someone can use it!
[…] code is good for oneways and roundtrips. JetBlue ran a similar promotion on April 30, and this time I was ready! I just scored a roundtrip ticket from Burbank to Las Vegas for […]
