Last week, in reviewing the 13-page “Notice of Settlement” as the basis for my analysis of JetSmarter’s proposed Class Action settlement, I was struck that there was a seeming lack of detail.
It wasn’t clear which flights you could apply the valuable 50% off Resolution Credits. Not finding anyone willing to answer my questions, I made note of it in my article.
After I published the story, I was happy to see in my inbox a more detailed 45-page “Settlement Agreement.” There is some good news.
It does appear that once a Crowd Sourced flight is confirmed, you can use the Resolution Credits which yield a 50% discount. That’s in addition to JetSmarter’s now limited Jet Shuttles, the flights that they schedule.
The Resolution Credits are limited to Sub-Class 3A Members, who were members Smart or Sophisticated members on June 18, 2018, and had at least six months remaining on their memberships on that date.
There is a restriction limiting credits to a maximum of 25% of the seats, similar to how airlines restrict frequent flier award seats. For example, on a 12 seat aircraft, up to three seats may be reserved using 50% off Resolution Credits on a first-come, first served basis.
I should also note that using credits is limited to a list of routes JetSmarter was marketing on June 18, 2018, many of which appear to have few customer-sourced flights nor any flights sponsored by JetSmarter.
The Resolution Credits also appear to have a six-month window for usage, unless you pay to extend the complimentary six-month membership this category gets and must be in place to redeem the discounts.
If you go between New York and South Florida, there should be value to redeem the credits. Also included are several routes in the west where JetSmarter currently offers JetSuiteX flights on its platform.
I am told if the routes are on the JetSmarter app and on the list, you will be able to use the Resolution Credits. JetSuiteX runs a fairly robust schedule with multiple daily flights at set times, and its fares are in line with the airlines, so half off would be a good deal. JetSmarter and JetSuiteX both declined to comment.
If more than 10% of the total number of people who qualify as Class Members opt out, JetSmarter has the right to walk away and vacate the settlement. Anyone who opts out retains their right to bring their own litigation against JetSmarter, so the more members who accept the settlement would reduce the likelihood of future lawsuits.
