Happy 24th Birthday to JetBlue Airways! To celebrate this milestone, the New York City-based airline is back with its annual birthday sale, offering five days of travel deals. This year, the airline is offering some great deals on JetBlue Vacations packages and TrueBlue points bonuses when you use your JetBlue Card for JetBlue purchases.
On Tuesday, travelers had the opportunity to save up to $650 on JetBlue Vacations packages. This is a great opportunity to plan a vacation and save some money on flights and accommodations.
On Wednesday, the airline is offering TrueBlue points bonuses when you use your JetBlue Card for JetBlue purchases. Until the end of the month, you can maximize your points haul with JetBlue when you use your JetBlue Card to pay for JetBlue purchases, including airfares and JetBlue Vacations packages. Depending on how much you spend, you could earn as many as 5,000 bonus TrueBlue points. The bonus-earning rates are as follows: 1,000 bonus points if you spend $500-$999, 2,500 bonus points if you spend $1,000-$1,499, and 5,000 bonus points if you spend $1,500 or more. It’s important to note that purchasing TrueBlue points does not count toward the eligible spending amount.
If you make an eligible purchase, you should expect to see the points in your account within six to eight weeks of the promotion ending. This is a great opportunity to earn bonus points and boost your TrueBlue points balance.
To give you an idea of how you can maximize this promotion, let’s look at some sample bookings. If you were to book a long weekend in May at the Hideaway at Royalton Punta Cana all-inclusive resort and casino for $1,547.84 through JetBlue Vacations, you could earn the maximum bonus of 5,000 points. In addition, you would also earn 2,990 points for the booking itself. This is a great way to earn a substantial amount of points while enjoying a vacation.
For those looking for a luxurious travel experience, you could fly one-way to Paris in JetBlue’s famous Mint Suite for $2,141.80 on April 8. This would earn you the 5,000-point bonus. Similarly, if you were to book round-trip flights in April flying in any of the other classes, you could easily earn the 2,500-point bonus.
If you’re looking to spend less but still earn the bonus at the lowest threshold, you could fly domestically within the U.S. on a Blue fare, departing April 2 and returning April 7 for $609.20. This would earn you 1,000 bonus points.
In addition to these birthday deals, it’s important to note that JetBlue is also offering ongoing deals on JetBlue Vacations packages. You can still save up to $650 on round-trip flight and hotel packages or round-trip flight and cruise packages booked through JetBlue Vacations. The savings are based on the total package price, including taxes and fees. To take advantage of these deals, you need to use the corresponding promo codes when booking.
If you’re planning to book any of these deals, make sure to use a credit card that earns bonus points on airfare purchases. For frequent JetBlue flyers, the JetBlue Plus Card, JetBlue Card, or JetBlue Business Card are great options. Other cards that offer bonus points on airfare purchases include The Platinum Card from American Express, the Citi Premier Card, the Chase Sapphire Reserve, the American Express Gold Card, and the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.
Overall, JetBlue is offering some fantastic deals this week to celebrate its 24th birthday. Whether you’re looking to book a vacation package or earn bonus points, now is the time to take advantage of these offers. Make sure to check back on Thursday as JetBlue continues to celebrate with special discounts throughout the week.
