JetBlue Fare Sale and 12 Points Per Dollar Spent Promotion
The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are approved through our site, and this may impact how or where these products appear. We don’t cover all available credit cards, but our analysis, reviews, and opinions are entirely from our editorial team. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information.

JetBlue just launched a two day fare sale and they're also offering 4x the base points on all fares purchased between now and 11:59pm ET on April 2, 2013. You normally earn 3 base points per dollar on fares, so this promotion gives 12 points, plus 3 extra for booking at Jetblue.com, for a total of 15 points per dollar (plus any bonuses from credit cards).

JetBlue points are generally worth about 1 cent each towards future flights, so you're looking at a 15% back in the form of future JetBlue travel, in addition to potentially lower fares during this sale. Here is the full list, but take a look at some of the fares from JFK- a pre-season trip to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket looks pretty cheap at $50 each way!

Key promo details:

-Offer valid only for JetBlue flights (one-way or roundtrip) that are purchased between now and 4/2/2013 and flown between 4/8/2013 and 6/19/2013.

-New bookings only

-Points will be earned on the base fare of the flight only. Points will not be earned on government taxes/fees, travel insurance or other fees or charges (e.g., change/cancel fees, etc.).

From New York, NY (JFK)

Why We Chose It

There’s a lot to love about the Amex Gold. It’s a fan favorite thanks to its fantastic bonus-earning rates at restaurants worldwide and at U.S. supermarkets. If you’re hitting the skies soon, you’ll also earn bonus Membership Rewards points on travel. Paired with up to $120 in Uber Cash annually (for U.S. Uber rides or Uber Eats orders, card must be added to Uber app and you can redeem with any Amex card), up to $120 in annual dining statement credits to be used with eligible partners, an up to $84 Dunkin’ credit each year at U.S. Dunkin Donuts and an up to $100 Resy credit annually, there’s no reason that foodies shouldn’t add the Amex Gold to their wallet. These benefits alone are worth more than $400, which offsets the $325 annual fee on the Amex Gold card. Enrollment is required for select benefits. (Partner offer)
