For the $100 discount, search for your desired departure city and destination. Use the calendar function here to find dates and prices that work for you and then add the promo code CYBERMONDAY at checkout. The $50 savings per one-way flight are valid if the original base fare is $125+.
Offer details from the JetBlue website:
- Promo code: CYBERMONDAY

- Minimum spend $125 (excl. taxes & fees) on each one-way segment
- Discount applies to base fare

Most searches came up with the discount. For example, a roundtrip flight from Seattle to New York saved $100 in August. I found prices as low as $288 roundtrip.
Or you could fly Newark-EWR to Los Angeles for $346 roundtrip in July.
If you only need a one-way flight, you can save $50 using the code.

Maximize your purchase
Since the $100 discount code on flights is not valid on True Blue award bookings, this may be the time to save your JetBlue points and use cash to jump on the savings.
If you do so, don’t forget to use a credit card that earns additional points on airfare purchases, such as The Platinum Card® from American Express (5x on flights booked directly with airlines or American Express Travel), Chase Sapphire Reserve, American Express® Gold Card, Citi Premier® Card, Citi Prestige Card (5x on airfare) or the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card (2x on all travel purchases). Check out this guide for more on maximizing airfare purchases.
