We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    JetBlue is one of our absolute favorite airlines. It’s well-known for extra legroom, free Wi-Fi and live TV. If you live in or near a city JetBlue serves, here’s a great way to save a noteworthy chunk of change on holiday flights.

    Their latest promo will discount your flights by $50. Here’s what you need to know:

    Look at those travel dates! This is excellent news for flights over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even New Year. There is a limit of one code per booking. So to get the most from this deal, you’ll want to book one-way tickets (unless your one-way is less than $125).

    While JetBlue award flights are directly tied to the cash value of your flight, this discount unfortunately does not apply to award flights. You’ll pay the same amount of points as if your fare was not discounted. JetBlue Vacations packages and Mint fares also don’t qualify for a discount, and neither do partner/codeshare flights.

    Also note that if you’ve booked a JetBlue flight already, you won’t be able to retroactively use this promo for a discount. To see the discount. you’ll have to first select your desired flights. You’ll then see the discounted fare at the bottom right of the flight’s page.

    Still, this is a fantastic deal if you’re booking holiday flights between cities JetBlue serves. A $100 discount per round-trip is fantastic, especially since airlines don’t normally discount airfare around the holiday.

    JetBlue has quite an extensive route map from its East Coast hubs.

    Earn JetBlue points for free flights whenever you want

    There are plenty of ways to earn JetBlue points for free flights so you don’t have to rely on sporadic promotions for discounted travel. JetBlue has two cobranded credit cards (JetBlue Card JetBlue Plus Card), neither of which makes our list of the top airline credit cards.

    However, JetBlue is a transfer partner of all five transferable points currencies:

    In other words, the best credit cards for earning JetBlue points aren’t airline credit cards at all. Here are the best cards for earning JetBlue points quickly:

    JetBlue points are worth ~1.4 cents each toward flights with JetBlue. So earning the Chase Sapphire Preferred 80,000-point bonus would instantly give you $1,120 in JetBlue flights! And unlike this promo, you can use those points for free Mint seats (JetBlue’s lie-flat business class flights — the best domestic business class in the U.S.).

    Let us know if you jump on this deal! And subscribe to our newsletter for more airline promos delivered to your inbox once per day.
