JetBlue receives high ratings for service and comfort among U.S.-based flyers. Based on the East Coast, the airline has the most legroom in economy and an easy-to-navigate loyalty program called JetBlue TrueBlue. Earning status — called Mosaic — in the program is straightforward, and the perks are generous.
Here's everything you need to know about earning JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic elite status and the benefits you'll get along the way.
Page Contents
Tiers of JetBlue Mosaic Elite Status
There are four tiers of Mosaic Elite Status, simply called Mosaic 1, Mosaic 2, Mosaic 3, and Mosaic 4. Status is earned by collecting tiles — from 50 up to 250 tiles. Let's look at the benefits available at each tier.
Mosaic 1
Mosaic 1, TrueBlue's lowest status tier, comes with quite a few perks. After earning 50 tiles, you'll get the following benefits:
- Earn 3 extra points per $1 spent on JetBlue flights (points can be used to redeem for award flights and JetBlue Vacation packages)
- Priority boarding
- First two checked bags free
- Up to three drinks per Mosaic member per flight (beer, wine, and liquor)
- Flight changes with no fee or fare difference starting 24 hours before departure
- Select Even More Space seats at check-in at no additional cost
- Priority security (where available)
- Dedicated check-in line and phone support
- Heathrow Express upgrades to Business First
- Avis status match
- 24/7 dedicated phone support
TrueBlue's lowest status tier is already more valuable than some other airlines' status programs, thanks to getting the first two checked bags free. Usually, this perk is limited to just one checked bag. Also, Heathrow Express upgrades to Business First means more legroom, a table to work on, in-seat power, and more on the train from Heathrow to Paddington Station in London.

Mosaic 2
To earn Mosaic 2 Elite Status, you'll have to earn 100 tiles — twice as many as Mosiac 1. Mosaic 2 gets everything that Mosaic 1 gets, plus the ability to choose Even More Seats for free at the time of booking.
Mosaic 3
JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic 3 elite status requires earning 150 tiles.
Mosaic 3 elites get all of the perks of Mosaic 2 and more. You'll get four upgrade certificates to be used to fly JetBlue's Mint business class for no additional cost (subject to availability). You'll also get dedicated phone support exclusive to Mosaic 3 and Mosaic 4 elites.
Mosaic 4
The highest status level with JetBlue TrueBlue is Mosaic 4. You'll have to earn 250 tiles to get this status, which comes with everything that the other three tiers get, plus the following:
- Two more certificates to Mint business class (for a total of six certificates)
- Four one-way Blade helicopter transfer credits between Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
- Gift Mosaic 1 to a TrueBlue member of your choosing
Mosaic Perks You Pick
JetBlue also grants status holders additional perks each time they reach a new status tier, including when they reach Mosaic 1. These are benefits you can choose from Mosaic Perks You Pick::
- Mint Suite Priority, depending on aircraft and availability (excluding Mint Studio)
- $99 statement credit on the JetBlue Plus Card or JetBlue Business Card
- FoundersCard Blue Membership, which includes 150+ premium travel, business, and lifestyle benefits created just for Mosaic members
- 20-tile bonus to reach the next status tier even faster
- Pet fee waiver for a cat or small dog on eligible JetBlue flights
- Gift a 20-tile bonus to another TrueBlue member
- 15,000 bonus TrueBlue points to be redeemed for award travel
- IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status, which comes with perks like reward night discounts and complimentary upgrades
Earning JetBlue Mosaic Elite Status
It's best to earn JetBlue Mosaic Elite Status as early in the calendar year as possible. That's because, once you've earned status, you get to enjoy the perks of that tier for the remainder of the current year and through the end of the following year.
Earning the tiles you need for Mosaic elite status is easy. For every $100 you spend on JetBlue flights, including select extras, on JetBlue Vacations packages, and Paisly by JetBlue, you'll earn 1 tile. You also earn 1 tile for every $1,000 spent on JetBlue credit cards.
JetBlue Vacations
JetBlue Vacations provides vacation packages that you can book with cash or JetBlue points. Packages can be either flights and hotel, flights and cruise, or hotel and points. This last option lets you bundle a hotel with 5,000 or more TrueBlue points. Flights and cruise packages can only be paid for in cash.
As mentioned above, you'll earn 1 tile per $100 spent on JetBlue Vacations and 1 tile per $1,000 spent on a JetBlue credit card. Tiles are different from the TrueBlue points you can redeem for JetBlue flights; points are earned from spending, flying, and other JetBlue promotions.
Paisly by JetBlue
Paisly by JetBlue allows you to see your completed trip in one place. Whether you book your flights with JetBlue or not, you can book hotels, cars, vacation rentals, activities, and even buy Briggs & Riley and Solo travel bags on the website.
You cannot book vacation packages on Paisly, but you will earn the same 1 tile per $100 spent toward Mosaic Elite status.

JetBlue credit cards
JetBlue has three credit cards: two personal and one small business.
The JetBlue Card is a no-annual-fee card that earns 3x on eligible JetBlue purchases, 2x on restaurants and eligible grocery stores, and 1x on all other purchases. The other two cards have an annual fee of just $99. Whether your needs are business or personal, holding a JetBlue credit card is another great way to earn JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic elite status, because your credit card spending can help you earn tiles.

Bottom Line
JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic elite status is quite simple to understand. There are no qualifying dollars or flight segments to worry about. All you have to do is earn at least 50 tiles to get perks like your first two checked bags free, same-day flight changes, and Even More Seats for no additional charge at check-in. Currently, JetBlue has more favorable routes for those departing from the East Coast. However, as the airline continues to grow its partnerships and route network, it won't be a surprise if JetBlue Mosaic continues to grow as a favorite elite status for many frequent fliers.
