Complaint: [redacted]
Again, Of course I acknowledge Revdex.com does not have jurisdiction, but what does that have to do with Revdex.com trying to resolve an outstanding issue.  I think ANYONE with reasonable intelligence knows Revdex.com does not have legal jurisdiction.  Again, instead of trying to resolve the issue in good faith, JetBlue throwa non-sense jargon as their official response.Instead asking me to call your customer service # yet again for the 4th time, it would be helpful if you actually reached out to me and work toward a reasonable solution.  This is a simple issue made unnecessarily complex by the airline.  I"m still baffled as to why they can't get this issue resolved.  If they have a working relationship with Hawaiian Air with an agreement among themselves, surely they can resolve this issue without my involvement.  They have my flight info, my ff #, date of flight, how much I paid, and other pertinent info.Please do not respond again and make this an unresolved case than try to respond in bad faith by having me run around your "procedures" yet again.  It is NOT reasonable for me to call you again and again so I can keep getting the run around.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: this response is ridiculous. Your customer service sucks and that is all you have to say. And to not take care of your customers is absolutely absurd especially when it was your companies fault that we missed our connecting flight. And was told by your employees that we would have a hotel once we got there. You don’t have to worry cause we will never fly your airline again. And I will be putting a review on your website also and telling all my friends and family not to use you as your customer service sucks!!!!!

System.  JetBlue Vacations® expresses our sincerest apologies for any frustration experienced while searching their family vacation plans on our website.  On rare occasions our inventory reflected on jetblue.com encounters a delayed connection with our Business Partners inventory. This allows our customers to view, for example, a hotel room or price when the inventory no longer is available. Upon trying to submit payment, our system then is able to link to our Business Partner and confirm there is no inventory available. This is why an error message is received instead of confirmation. Regrettably, as we await the two systems to link and update this error will remain. It does not happen often, and we do again apologize for the frustration experienced. As a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience, we have upgraded the customer's seats on both outbound and return flights to our Even More Space seats.  With each seat regularly priced at $75.00, this is a value of $600.00.  This complimentary upgrade will provide expedited security passing, pre-boarding on the aircraft, and four inches more legroom in front of the seats. We truly value our customers and wish the [redacted] Family a marvelous time in Turks and Caicos. YvetteJetBlue Vacations Customer Service Crewmember [redacted]

Although the Revdex.com does not have jurisdiction over JetBlue under the express preemption clause of the Airline Deregulation Act (49 U.S.C. Sec. 41713), we’ve reviewed the complaint filed by Mrs. [redacted] and are responding through your Online Complaint System. We regret the circumstances that...

led you to write to the Revdex.com. We never really want to cancel a flight, however there are times, in the spirit of safety, that it is necessary. Our obligation, when we do cancel, is to place you on the next available flight by which seats are available. With limited flights to Austin this may mean the next day or days after. JetBlue does not have reciprocal agreements with other carriers and we apologize for any misunderstanding of this. If you are not flexible with travel then we will offer a refund of the original fare paid. In this case, it appears a refund was processed accordingly.In an effort to honor the integrity of our guidelines we are not offering reimbursements for a fare paid on another carrier.  We appreciate you choose JetBlue and hope we have an opportunity to serve you again in the future.  Kind regards, Kelly H[redacted]JetBlue | Customer SupportExecutive Offices

Although, respectfully, the Revdex.com does not have jurisdiction over JetBlue under the express preemption clause of the Airline Deregulation Act (49 U.S.C. Sec. 41713), we nevertheless provide the following response:
We appreciate the opportunity to clarify; the next flights departing from Turks and Caicos were sold out. We apologize for any misunderstanding or any misinformation regarding sales that you have received.
In your rebuttal message you stated: ...'however, I still had to spent extra $600 to purchase from American Air and $1200 for extra two nights...' Please note that you received a refund totalling $[redacted]. Your claim of spending for other airline and hotel accomodations, based on your statement, is only $7.20 more than the flight refund you received. As stated, weather related issues are beyond our control. We do our best to place you on the next available flight where seats are available and regret, during the end of peak season, the next days flights were sold. At your request the return flight was canceled and refunded to your credit card.
As a gesture of goodwill we've added a $[redacted] per person credit to your travel bank accounts. Since two of the 4 people do not have a travel bank the credits were divided between [redacted] and [redacted]. Emails with information were sent. All JetBlue credits expire one year from the original date entered. We hope you will accept these in the spirit intended.
We apprecaite your feedback and hope despite your disappointment you will choose to travel with JetBlue again in the future.
Warmest Regards,

Although, respectfully, the Revdex.com does not have jurisdiction over JetBlue under the express preemption clause of the Airline Deregulation Act (49 U.S.C. Sec. 41713), we nevertheless provide the following response:
We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the booking:
Online when you book...

multiple airlines there is a filter button for specific class seating. Since JetBlue flights are specific, when booking Hawaiian flights you must select the radio dial that will filter the classes they offer for booking.
Our records show, for the itinerary you did have, this was not the case. You booked a general class for the Hawaiian portion. We also show that you elected, as you stated, to have the ticket refunded and this was processed accordingly. We are sorry for any misunderstanding. We are not able to offer first class seating without collecting payment.
We appreciate you reaching out to JetBlue. We hope to have an opportunity to serve you on a flight soon.

frustration with the uncaring manner in which you were treated. We apologize
that your experience was not what you felt it should have been and you were
embaressed about the whole situation. On future
flights please keep in mind when a cockpit is blocked it is due to flight
regulations and we ask our passengers to approach the station and/or restroom
at the other end of the plane for all needs. We value your feedback and take
all of these comments and concerns into consideration because feedback helps us
improve as a company. We will ensure that your experience is taken directly to
the appropriate leadership team for training purposes, especially as we
evaluate the areas in which we can improve the quality of our service. As a gesture of
our goodwill we've issued a $** JetBlue Travel Bank courtesy credit. We know a
credit cannot take back a bad experience; however, we issue compensation as a
gesture of goodwill and an invitation to travel with us in the future, so we
have the opportunity to provide a more positive experience. The details are as

We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with a toll free number to call;...

[redacted] also gave an email address where you can lodge a complaint: [redacted]@pointsforsurveys.com
These vendors have specific criteria for surveys conducted. These terms are not goverened by JetBlue. As a courtesy we saw one of our crewmembers issued a courtesy credit for the frustrations you have experienced. We understand that you have not been satisfied with the answers you have received however accurate they have been.
When a promotion is sponsored by another company we also must be fair and honest with that company and not undermine the intention of their promotion. We can, as an additional gesture of goodwill, issue a credit to your travel bank to assist you with a future booking. This credit is good one year from today May 6, 2015 and can be used toward new travel bookings.
Mr. [redacted] We appreciate your business and encourage you to move past your dissatisfaction with the survey points offered.
We look forward to a time when we can welcome you onboard and we trust that you will have travel experiences that are exceptional.

Although, respectfully, Revdex.com does not have jurisdiction over JetBlue Airways under the express preemption clause of the Airline Deregulation Act (49 U.S.C. Sec. 41713), we nevertheless provide the following response to the complaint filed by [redacted]:
We have reviewed...

this complaint and request from customer and welcome the opportunity to address her concerns. We understand she has contacted JetBlue directly on this matter and our response has not met her expectations.
We regret that the flight was cancelled on March 24 due to unavoidable circumstances and that the next available flight to Long Beach would not meet their needs. When JetBlue must cancel a flight, we offer either a refund for that segment or space on the next available flight at no extra charge. Since the [redacted] family had to be in California that day, they accepted the refund of $[redacted] each.
Also, a Bill of Rights voucher in the amount of $[redacted], or $[redacted] each, was issued to the account of [redacted] as an apology.
We respectfully deny that the cancellation due to overselling a promotion. JetBlue does not overbook flights and this cancellation was due to the aircraft being taken out of service for safety reasons. We put the safety of all our customers and crewmembers as our top priority.
We have responded to [redacted]'s complaint, as seen in the attachment.
Our response remains the same: We do not compensate customers for incidental expenses with the cancellation or delay of a flight. We advised them to contact their insurer, if they purchased travel insurance. We must respectfully deny their request for compensation of $1409.35.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me even tho they only extended the flight    2 more weeks, now if I don't take it in 2 weeks I will still lose my money, wrong mistake booking with Orbitz I would definitely never use them again. But I understand that Jet Blue did what they could.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:When I called customer service, they were EXTREMELY arrogant. They did not sympathise with me at all. Told me that they do not go according to CDC website, but went according to Google. They said I was a liar, and that I knew of the Zika Virus PRIOR to booking my trip, which is not true. CDC is the only credible source.It is Clearly mentioned on their website, that JetBlue refunds customers when Zika has affected destination. I chose JetBlue because of their policy.I was supposed to go to Miami prior to booking that trip, and I cancelled for the same reason. AIR CANADA issued a FULL REFUND. They only requested a doctors note. I will never use the JET Blue credit, because I live in Canada.I want my money Back!      
Sincerely,
[redacted]
