Use a JetBlue Partner for Valentine's Day
Valentine's day is fast approaching, and being the forward thinking person I am, I have begun to consider what to do this year for my not-insignificant other. Last year we enjoyed an amazing dinner at Delmonico's in NYC, but this year I am certainly tempted to kill two birds with one stone and incorporate a gift from FTD into the holiday.
As a JetBlue partner, FTD will let you earn 20 points per dollar when you use the JetBlue partner link. The fine print on the deal is pretty standard: gift card purchases are not eligible, shipping and service fees do not apply, etc.
With a reasonable purchase of $20-40 worth of flowers or chocolates, you can easily net 400-800 TrueBlue points! Conveniently (and dangerously) FTD displays the points you'll earn beneath their products, just in case math isn't your strong suite.
While this is nice, it doesn't help narrow down the seemingly unending combinations of flowers, chocolates, and ribbons that FTD seems more than ready to sell to you - which is why I have chosen my top three picks from the site in order from least to most expensive (least to most points!):
1. The Deeply Devoted™ Bouquet by FTD® - VASE INCLUDED - No one was ever upset by received a rose on Valentine's day, so most likely your significant other won't either. It's definitely on the lower end of FTD's selection t $29.99, even though it could be had for a lot less if you went to the store and got it yourself. But, for the "deeply devoted" person, this may make a suitable gift that'll net you 400 TrueBlue points. Be warned, the page will automatically try to upgrade you to the $39.99 version!
2. Memorable Moments Bouqet - VASE INCLUDED - Yeah, you know what you're doing with this one. At $69.99 you're not breaking the bank but you're also clearly out to let that special someone know that they're...memorable. It's not tacky, which means it was hard to find on FTD's site, and will rake in 1,400 points if you choose to go with it. Again, beware the automatic "upgrade" on the page.
3.Gifts from the Heart Ultimate Valentine's Day Gift - Woah, are you planning to propose or something here? Dropping $169.99 on this ultimate gift will result in not only a romantically fulfilling evening, but also a whopping 3,400 TrueBlue points which is the better half of a free domestic flight. This gift is so ultimate that there isn't even an upgrade option that they try to push on you - you've already hit the highest tier of romanticism and financial carelessness. Kudos to you, friend.
And don't worry, I'll remind you again before the big day hits.
