thanks for this.
is there any way i can subscribe to deezl posts on isoc? i missed out on the aa deal earlier this week. i wish we still had the new posts showing up on the right hand side instead of this escorts review thing i have absolutely no use for.
thanks again :ilike:
I second the "no use" for the escort thread.:icontd: Only been one added in at least 6 months on the front page...bring back the new posts.
I keep a Spirit M/C around to keep the account active.
I called them about a no fee card but they don't have one so I clicked the refer a friend and I applied for another card and was approved.
I have over 80K miles and was going to use them for Carty in january but its about $350 RT.
I think I will get another 15K with that card.
JB just posted some Autumn fare specials if you wanna get a jump on bonuses:

except the flight taxes to CTG seem about $50 higher than they should be. What's up with that?
having just checked multiple carriers, flight taxes into CTG are $55 higher than to MDE or BOG. weird.Quote:

So, I don't know if this is the way they meant for this to work, but based on the language in the terms you could book a one-way flight from JFK to POP and a separate one-way flight back and earn 10k miles instead of 5k. It says it right there, 'one-way OR roundtrip", and 'to or from latin america, mexico, caribbean'.Quote:
You must register for this promotion at trueblue.jetblue.com/web/trueblue/tropics5k prior to booking eligible travel. Offer is valid only for JetBlue-operated (one-way or roundtrip) flights to or from Latin America, Mexico or the Caribbean that are purchased by 9/2/14 and flown between 9/2/14 and 12/11/14.
AFAIK, with JetBlue if the dates are the same it's the same price to book two one-way tix as it is to book a r/t so, considering that, it's absolutely worth it to book two separate flights and see if you can cash in on the double miles. Keep in mind that you can get a one-way ticket to STI, CTG, etc for less than 10k points, so for every two one-way tickets you buy this way, you could earn more than enough for an additional one-way ticket.
I just priced the difference BOS-AZS. Two one ways adds up to $531 and a roundtrip 9/10-10/8 priced out at $506. A $25 difference for 5,000 more miles.
I have 23'000 jet blue pts, and they wanted me to use almost all all for a dr trip to pop, for a 512.00 total with taxes already computed
You will have to pay taxes on top of the 23,000 miles..Quote:

The best day to buy an award flight on jetblue would have probably been a couple of days ago, I believe thursday last week they had a 1 day 20% award redemption offer. So you could have got a better point deal. I like to use the points on 1 ways, usually the flight back internationally will be higher taxes but cheaper points.Quote:

This offer though is great and thanks to Deezl we might have a way to earn ourselves up to some free future flights to destinations that now include Colombia :corky:
I believe I got the same deal for SDQ. It seems that the flight on the return back home changes in price, up $20-$25. I was able to pull up a rt to SDQ for $346 RT. $371 for 5,000 more points. 9/4 to 9/9. Some interesting stuff available.Quote:
