Update: The $98 fares between JFK-Portland, Newark-San Diego, and Boston-San Francisco are now dead.
The rest of the $98 fares may end soon!
- Bookable on Priceline. Tickets purchased from Priceline today are refundable until 11:29pm EDT on Monday, 9/30. Please see this post for directions on how to cancel these tickets.
- Also bookable on Orbitz or Expedia.
- Limited seats are available on each date.
- Always search one-way for 1 seat and then work the search up to the number of seats you need in order to book as many seats on sale as you can.
- Search NYC to include JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark for best results.
- Some fares are basic economy, but having a credit card for airline cards waive many basic economy restrictions.
- JetBlue does not yet have basic economy fare restrictions. They are expected to add basic economy restrictions within the next couple of months. Purchasing a ticket now locks in regular economy even if they introduce basic economy before your flight!

Using Chase Points:
You can pay for the ticket with “hybrid points” such as AMEX or Chase points with a card that allows your points to be used at an increased value for airfare in addition to be able to transfer points into airline miles.
If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve® card you can redeem points for 1.5 cents each towards travel. If you have a Chase Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card® Card or Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card you can redeem points for 1.25 cents each towards travel.
You can login to your account and redeem Chase points for travel here. The cost will be just 6,553 points each way with a Sapphire Reserve! That rate include all taxes and you will still earn flight miles as well!
Using AMEX points:
- If you have an AMEX Business Platinum Card you can get a 35% rebate of points used on the airline of your choice.
- If you have an AMEX Business Gold Card you can get a 25% rebate of points used on the airline of your choice.
You can login to your account and redeem AMEX points for travel here.
This is bookable in JetBlue for 9,830 AMEX points. Plus you’ll get back a rebate of 3,441 points with the Business Platinum Card or 2,458 points with the Business Gold Card, dropping the total needed to as low as 6,389 points. That includes all taxes and you can still earn miles for flying!

“If you pay with your Chase United Explorer card or the Chase United Explorer Business Card you can bring a free carry-on, a free checked bag, and have priority boarding.” Are you sure that the card needs to be used to purchase the tickets for these perks? Even though the fine print clearly states such, I seem to recall not being charged for a checked bag even when not using the card to purchase basic economy tickets, simply because I have the card. TIA
Dan, sorry for the off-topic comment but I am unable to do Step 4 for the SMS twitter notifications. Do you know how I can signup for SMS notifications? https://www.dansdeals.com/more/site-announcements/twitter-notification-issues-heres-reset-account-start-getting-deal-alerts/
What happens at step 4? Did you verify your number?
On the twitter page is doesnt give you the option to check “tweets from people you’ve enabled for mobile notifications.” I used to be able to signup for texts easily but they changed their website….Please help!!
I still get their from my desktop device.
You need to verify your number to get there.
I did verify my number but when I click on the link in step 4 it does not take me to a page that allows me to check “Tweets from people you’ve enabled for mobile notifications.”
The link in your article step 4 just takes me to this link and then I dont know what I need to do next….https://twitter.com/settings/account
Do you have 2 Twitter account sharing the same phone number?
Try incognito or from another browser?
I only have one twitter account. I try incognito and from another browser but no luck. The last comment in this article is also complaining about the same issue….The link in step 4 does not take me to the page for enabling mobile notifications….It just takes me to my regular account settings.
Try this?
https://twitter.com/settings/sms_notifications
What do I do next? What settings should I click on?
Tweets from people you’ve enabled for mobile notifications?
I wish I could send you a picture of my screen….It used to show me what you are referring to but right now it is not giving me that option….It just takes me to the account settings page and then when I click on sms notifications there is no where that it says to enable “Tweets from people you’ve enabled for mobile notifications”
Is there anyone you can reach out to from twitter to look into this? Because if someone else is also having the same problem it probably means other people are having these issues too.
You can share screenshots with a program like Gyazo.
Maybe just download the app and enable push notifications?
Had the same issue too…
