Jet Blue Question

[chloelovesdisney]

I have a credit for Jet Blue that I must use by December. It just has to be used to buy the ticket by then, but as long as the ticket is purchased it can be used later than December.

Does anyone know if I can purchase a ticket for October 2014 in December 2013?

Thank you.

Also, if I have purchased a ticket and the rates drop am I able to get a credit?

I would say that it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to book an October flight in January as JetBlue usually doesn't release that far in advance. Found this on flyertalk.com:

A brief (and probably incomplete) history of schedule extensions from JetBlue:

3 April 2013: the schedule extended through 6 January 2014.
3 February 2013: the schedule extended through 26 October 2013.
16 December 2012: the schedule extended through 3 September 2013.
30 September 2012: the schedule extended through 19 June 2013.

Regarding your second question: When fares drop on JetBlue you can get a credit issued.

JetBlue will not give a credit on flights purchased with a credit.

Yes they will. The credit goes back to the original credit expiration. However, I am not sure what happens if that date has passed.

For my upcoming trip we are booked we had $25 Bill of Rights credits, when I called because our price dropped the new credit had to go back to the original travel bank each time with $25 of it expiring on the original date. Even when we passed the $25 (we have $64 in credits) it still had to go back to the original travel bank.

Normally, I could have all the credits for my family put into my travel bank which is what we normally do to make booking online easier the next time around.

Maybe the date had passed when I tried to do it(I didn't think so) or maybe I just got someone who didn't know how to it.

I too try to get them all into my travel bank account.

I love using www.yapta.com for tracking the flight prices.

Jetblue typically releases their flight schedules 6-7 months from travel date.

Just want to come back and thank you for posting this! Today I called and got a credit of $57.30 for a ticket I paid for on one confirmation and then asked about getting credits for my other 4 family members that I used credits for and got an additional $228.80. I think the first one expires in September so I'm sure I'll be able to use it.

Yes they will. They did it for me a few weeks ago, even gave credits on points I used.
Between credits and points I booked round trips for two for a total of $225 BOS > MCO
