I saved up 300k Jet Blue points by paying for my kid's grad school with my Jet Blue card, then pulling money out of my 501 account.\n\n But then when my dad in FL got sick I had to fly back and forth NY-FL to take care. I burned through 300k Jet Blue points in 6 months.",

She looses out on the free bag and free extra leg room perks of the CC & Mosaic 2+ status my father has, but the 2 free checked bags he gets is usual",
