Of all the airline elite statuses you can earn, JetBlue's TrueBlue Mosaic status is one of the least talked about. Call it a function of being overlooked or simply misunderstood, but there are plenty of benefits that make TrueBlue Mosaic status worth chasing.
Here's a detailed look at our favorite Signature perks of JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic status.

What Is JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic?
TrueBlue Mosaic is JetBlue's terminology for elite status. Historically, JetBlue had one elite tier: Mosaic. In 2021, the New York-based airline adopted a second ticket: Mosaic+. And in May of 2023, it overhauled the TrueBlue loyalty program and introduced four elite tiers: Mosaic 1 through Mosaic 4.
How to earn JetBlue Mosaic status
Each airline has its own status-earning metric. American Airlines has Loyalty Points, United has Premier Qualifying Points, and so on. JetBlue has tiles.
To earn Mosaic status in the TrueBlue program, you'll have to earn several tiles, broken down as follows:
- Mosaic 1: 50 tiles
- Mosaic 2: 100 tiles
- Mosaic 3: 150 tiles
- Mosaic 4: 250 tiles
There are few numbers to keep track of, which is one of JetBlue TrueBlue's major pluses. But how do you earn a tile? Well, that's also pretty simple.
You'll earn 1 tile for every $100 you spend on eligible JetBlue flights (including most extras and fees), JetBlue Vacations packages, and on bundled trips booked through Paisly by JetBlue.
JetBlue also has a trio of co-branded Barclays credit cards, which all earn 1 tile for each $1,000 spent.

Top 3 Signature JetBlue Mosaic Benefits
En route to each tier of Mosaic status, JetBlue will reward you for every 10 tiles you earn. For casual flyers, this can mean bonus points, an early boarding perk, and more — even after minimal travel.
However, the true JetBlue Mosaic benefits begin to shine when you unlock Mosaic 1 and each tier thereafter. Dubbed “Perks You Pick,” JetBlue offers a menu of perks, and you can choose one — available each time you reach a Mosaic Tier.
- IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status
- 20-tile bonus
- Mint Suite priority
- Gift a 20-tile bonus
- FoundersCard membership
- Pet fee waiver
- 15,000-point bonus
- $99 statement credit on the JetBlue Plus Card or the JetBlue Business Card
But that's not all. TrueBlue Mosaic status holders are also entitled to Signature perks. These are staple benefits you don't have to pick and choose. However, note that some Signature perks are only available at higher Mosaic tiers.
Here's a look at the ones we'd put in a list of our top three.
Check your first two bags for free
Unless you fly Southwest or have a fee waiver, bag fees are expensive. Plus, JetBlue recently hiked its checked bag fees. On domestic itineraries, you're looking at $35 for your first piece of luggage and $50 for your second — assuming you paid for your bag more than 24 hours before your plane takes off.
These fees apply to Blue Basic, Blue, and Blue Extra tickets. Unless you're flying on a Blue Plus fare, in Mint business class, or have another exception, you'll pay a lot if you have to check a bag.
But you can check two bags for free if you have TrueBlue Mosaic status — any tier.
That equates to saving up to $85 each way or $170 on round-trip itineraries. Even better, the perk also extends to three others on your reservation.
If you travel more than a few times yearly and check a bag, Mosaic status will keep a lot of money in your pocket.
Complimentary Even More® Space seats
JetBlue's Even More Space seats offer extra legroom. You'll find these seats closer to the pointy end of the plane or in exit rows.
Typically, these seats cost a lot. Even on short routes, like the two-and-a-half-hour jaunt between Los Angeles (LAX) and Los Cabos (SJD), you'll pay north of $57 per seat each way.
At Mosaic 1, you can reserve these seats for free upon check-in. At Mosaic 2 and above, you can select an Even More Space seat at booking.
For those who value up to 7 inches of extra legroom, this Mosaic Perk is another that'll save you a lot of money over time. It's not a groundbreaking perk, but it's a surefire way to make each flight more comfortable without spending money to make it happen.
Move to Mint
JetBlue features a lavish Mint cabin on select airplanes — the airline's version of business class. You won't enjoy traditional upgrades on JetBlue like you will on American, Delta, or United, but after unlocking Mosaic 3 or 4, you'll earn a set of certificates redeemable for a Mint upgrade.
At Mosaic 3, the “Move to Mint” perk grants four certificates. In the next tier, at Mosaic 4, you'll earn two additional certificates.
Depending on the cash price of your flight, the number of certificates required for an upgrade varies. On cheap flights operated by a Mint-equipped plane, you can bank an upgrade for a single certificate or two.
Even better, Move to Mint certificates are redeemable on most tickets — including those booked with TrueBlue points. However, you won't be able to use certificates on Blue Basic tickets.

Final Thoughts
At each Mosaic tier — and the increments in between — JetBlue offers its most loyal TrueBlue members several benefits. From cost savings to extra comfort, there are plenty of reasons Mosaic status is worth earning every year.
