Members of JetBlue’s TrueBlue frequent flyer program can save $50 on a fall flight by booking a spring flight on the airline.
The $50 voucher is a nice perk, but it’s not enough to book on JetBlue before comparing fares with other airlines.

If you decide to take advantage of this offer, be sure to register before you book; otherwise, you won’t be entitled to a voucher.
