Update: This offer ends on 12/31. In 2022, Mosaic members and companions will get access to even more space seats at no charge after rebate.
Note that Mosaic status from this offer won’t be awarded until mid-to-late February 2022 and will expire on 12/31/22.
Originally posted on 10/8:
JetBlue has added another way to earn Mosaic status.
If you spend $15,000 on a JetBlue Plus card between 10/1/21-12/31/21, you’ll be Mosaic through 12/31/22.
Opt-in for this promotion is not required and is open to existing and new customers.
Mosaic Status earned will appear in your TrueBlue Account statement 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion.
This is not valid on the JetBlue card or the JetBlue business cards.
Normally you need to spend $50,000 in a calendar year to earn Mosaic status.
Unfortunately, Mosaic is not what it used to be and it’s one of the least valuable airline status levels, but there is still some value to be had.
The main value of Mosaic status has been free changes, but now everyone gets free changes on non-basic economy tickets (as well as basic economy tickets for a limited time).
Worse yet, JetBlue will charge Mosaic members a change fee on basic economy tickets when the COVID-19 waiver ends.
JetBlue also ditched free Mosaic in-flight alcoholic beverages due to COVID-19.
They did add a sweet free companion offer earlier this year, but that was not renewed.
Last year they massively devalued their Mosaic elite status by quadrupling the price of advance upgrades to Even More Space (EMS) seats without any warning.
JetBlue offers free EMS seats at the airport before your flight, but by that time you’re typically stuck with middle seat options and it’s nearly impossible for a family to be able to sit together.
Here are the Mosaic status benefits.
Published benefits:
- 15K points upon qualification.
- If there is EMS seating available on the day of your flight, you can ask an airport agent for a free upgrade for you and everyone on your itinerary and most will grant it. If the ticketing agent won’t do it, you can always ask at the customer service center or at the gate. Of course that means risking not sitting together if you’re traveling with companions.
- 3 bonus points per dollar spent on JetBlue flights.
- First 2 bags free for you and all passengers on your itinerary.
- Free carry-on bags on basic economy fares for Mosaic member and companions.
- Same day confirmed flight changes (without paying difference in fare) and standby fees are waived for Mosaic members, even on basic economy. That means you can buy a cheaper flight and switch to a more expensive flight for free (even to a nearby co-airport) starting 24 hours before your original flight. Note that basic economy can’t be changed for free before 24 hours prior the flight.
- Priority Mosaic phone line (877-538-8783) with faster and better customer service when you enter your TrueBlue Mosaic number.
- Priority security line access.
- Priority boarding.
- Free on-board alcoholic drinks.
Unpublished benefits:
- No charge for suitcases weighing up to 70 pounds each.
- Some people have reported being upgraded for free to business mint class at the airport.
- Mosaic phone agents are also much more lenient when it comes to policy exceptions, though it may take some HUCAs.
- You may be able to match your status to other airlines, share your results in the comments!

From JetBlue site it seems mosaic that buys blue basic fare can get same day flight change at no charge
‘Starting 2/25/2021, Mosaic members may make same-day switches on all fares(including Blue Basic) starting 24 hours prior to departure without paying a fare difference or the applicable fee.’
Fixed, thanks
If I spent 15k on my JetBlue card already this year (2021) will I get mosaic or I need to spend between 10-1 and 12-31
Prior spending does not count for this offer.
If my credit line is 2k, will Barclays allow me to prepay the necessary 15k?
Definitely NOT! I was thrown out from Chase from prepaying and then buying. The $2,000 credit line in your case is for the month. Even if you pay it off immediately, you can’t charge again. Learn from my mistake. It’s somewhere in Dan’s Forums (I saw it after the fact)
This isn’t chase though..
Are there any offers for the card currently?
If I am already a mosaic but ending this year, can I spend 15K and it will have it run till 2023?
yes you will.
but make sure u charge new charges (from 10-1- till 12-31)on a consumer JetBlue plus card.
The main question is if you fly maybe once or twice a year.
Would it be worth it to spend the 15k on this card or another card and get more?
It’s a big opportunity cost as JetBlue points are not that valuable. Probably not worthwhile in that case.
What card would be the best now for everyday spending?
Either the AMEX Blue Businees Plus, Capital One Spark or Venture, or the Citi Double Cash. All earn 2 points per dollar, transferable to miles, just in different point ecosystems. Bear in mind that the AMEX BBP only earns 2 points on the first $50k of spending per year, and that the Citi Double Cash only is transferable to miles if you also hold a Citi Premier.
Why did you write that it’s not valid on JetBlue business cards, the link clearly states: Jetblue Plus and Jetblue business cards
“To accommodate your evolving travel needs, we’ve extended our reduced qualification thresholds for 2021, and added another way to qualify with your JetBlue Plus or JetBlue Business Card.”
Read the whole page?
Ha, squeezes in near 15k of spend in the last month alone, in lieu of the 50k spend threshold. Oh well
After spending the 15k how long does it typically take to have the mosaic take effect? Or is it as of 1/1/22?
I just spoke with jetBlue & they told me it would take 6 to 8 weeks after you made the spending. Time will tell.
This is the worst thing waiting 6-8 weeks, I just hit my 15k since 10/1 but what if they don’t count some of the spend? There’s no way to track really aside from that graph on the benefits page of the CC but that only shows you to 50,000. It would be nice to get some sort of confirmation that you are queued up to get mosiac in x weeks. Seems like this is a pretty easy thing to do for their “best” trueblue members
Hi i signed up thru your link now jet blue claims there was no such promotion to earn mosaic for 15k how can you help
Click on the link in the post.
Also, there’s no reason to call now:
“Mosaic Qualifying Points and/or Status earned will appear in your TrueBlue Account statement 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion.”
Does the free same day changes work on any fare including a ticket booked using partner miles? (Ek,aa)
Bump
Can you clarify what happens to someone who has Mosaic through the end of 2021 and completed the 15k spend for status next year- which is mentioned to begin in Feb 2022. What about January 2022- no status for a month?
Correct.
So If I hit the 15K by November 4th, should my Mosaic status show up by the beginning of January?
(related question) If one has a chance to spend 50K and get 125K chase ultimate rewards points, or spend 50K and get the Mosaic status, would you agree that the 125K chase ultimate rewards points are the better deal. Even if one travels 5-6 times a year?
Thanks for everything you do Dan!
Unfortunately I missed this section in the T&C.
When primary cardmember’s account spends $15,000 in net purchases during the promotional period they will earn 3,500 Mosaic Qualifying Points as well as Mosaic status for 2022.
Part of my spend was done on my Wife’s AU card. 🙁
Good news is that it’s the same card number hence it makes no difference. You’ll get it anyway
Are you sure Barclays AU have the same number?
They actually aren’t. Barclay’s gives AU’s different numbers
I spent $16K. So mid Feb i should be upgraded to Mosaic and receive 15K bonus miles?
Could it be that the mosaic benefits come earlier than they promised. It seemed like on my account it was telling me I can have up to 2 free bags – unless I was still mosaic from when I gifted myself the mosaic from my brother?
I am also currently a mosaic member for ’21. When I book trips with Jet Blue for ’22, they automatically show 2 free bags. Not sure how that works when you actually go to the airport and you either didn’t qualify for Mosaic in ’22 or status isn’t being reflected in the system yet for ’22 (after 15K spend).
Any one have pictures of the offer 15k?
It’s still there:

Just received the email “Congrats! You’ve earned TrueBlue Mosaic”
Check your emails. My friend and I just got an email saying we earned mosaic from the 15K spend. We finished a month apart, so I’m guessing they are coming in together regardless when you finished spend. The subject will be “ Congrats! You’ve earned TrueBlue Mosaic “
Just got mine too ! Thanx
Actually got a few refunds from some purchases that i put on the card which would bring the total to Under 15k if they count them…. but i doubt they would claw back the mosaic once i got it already no?
Just got the email!!! Mosaic!!
got mosaic!
Anyway to still get this deal or it’s dead ?
