Get a Year of Free Flights For Deleting Your Instagram Photos


What’s the worst part of social media? Seeing friends on tropical vacations, baking under the sun, while you’re seated in a cubicle seething under harsh fluorescent lighting.

If you’re in need of a vacation (and a warmer climate), JetBlue is now rewarding a select few for committing to a digital detox—with a year of free flights.

Yes, it’s true. JetBlue, the airline with Terra blue chips, is offering three lucky entrants (and a companion for each) a year of flights, with one conspicuous rule: you must rid yourself of Instagrams past.

Why? Likely, it’s because you will become a year-long influencer/advertisement for the airline. But let’s be honest, if there was a price for anyone’s integrity, it’d likely be a year of free flights.

There are a couple of catches, however. As the Points Guy noted, you’ll still have to pay for those pesky bag fees and taxes. You’ll also have last-seat availability, which means you won’t have much stake in where you sit when you book a flight. Still, free flights!

How can you enter? To join JetBlue’s All You Can Jet contest, you’ll have to delete all photos through March 8, the contest’s deadline. You also have the option of archiving them instead. Archiving is easy and saves all your photos, but if you have a lot of them, it’ll take some time (you can check out how to archive and re-share them with our handy Instagram guide).

But that’s not all—you’ll also have to post a single photo. That photo must demonstrate the vacation you’re in desperate need of (a beach? a mountain? a cave?). You must tag JetBlue and use the #AllYouCanJetSweepstakes hashtag. The photo also must contain the prompt, “All you can __.” You can upload the photo of your choice to JetBlue’s website, which will spit out your photo with the prompt automatically.

For more details on the contest, check out JetBlue’s website. Winners will be announced in March, while I sit at my desk, continuing to seethe.
