Buy JetBlue Status-Qualifying Tiles at a Discount — But Are They Worth Purchasing?

This promo has ended.

If you're looking to fast-track your way to JetBlue Mosaic elite status or top off your account to level up, buying tiles is a sure way to expedite the process. But buying tiles can be pricey, so any promotion for acquiring tiles at a lower rate is always worth a look. That's why it's nice that JetBlue is running an (albeit small) 10% discount promotion for buying TrueBlue tiles until July 21, 2025.

Depending on your situation and how much you fly JetBlue, it could be wise for some TrueBlue members to purchase tiles to qualify or re-qualify for elite status. And when there are promotions like this, regardless of how small, it can make buying elite status credits more palatable.

Here's an overview of this offer to help you decide if it's worth taking advantage of.

Note that this post covers buying elite-qualifying JetBlue tiles, not redeemable points. Here are the details of the latest buy JetBlue points promotion.

JetBlue Is Selling TrueBlue Tiles With a 10% Discount

JetBlue is now offering its TrueBlue members the chance to purchase elite status credits for 10% less. Through July 21, 2025, you can buy anywhere from a single tile all the way up to 250 tiles, which can unlock top-tier Mosaic 4.

Here's a table that shows how much each tile costs — factoring in both the 10% discount and the obligatory 7.5% tax recovery fee:

As you can likely gather, purchasing TrueBlue status outright from this promotion is by no means cheap. Thus, this promotion is likely most useful for those just short of qualifying or re-qualifying for elite status in 2026. Purchasing a tile or two is an easy way to level up quickly.

Should You Buy JetBlue Tiles — Even With a 10% Discount?

As you can see from the prices above, purchasing TrueBlue tiles is an expensive proposition. And it raises the question: is it worth the cost?

The key benefit of buying tiles is that it allows you to top off your progress toward Mosaic status or re-qualify for 2026 without the need to meet the qualification requirements by purchasing flights, credit card spending, vacation package purchases, etc. Simply buy what you need, and that's it!

However, for most travelers, the high cost of purchasing tiles won’t outweigh the benefits of achieving Mosaic status — especially given the relatively limited perks at each level of the JetBlue program (see below) compared to other airlines.
