JetBlue Brings Back Status Match Challenge
If you have status with Alaska, American, Delta, or United, you can match to JetBlue for an elite status challenge.
There is no set expiration date for this offer, but it is “available for a limited time only and may be withdrawn at any time without notice. ”
If you take advantage of this offer, you won’t be eligible for another status match for 24 months.
You can match your status as follows:
- Alaska MVP or MVP Gold, American Gold or Platinum, Delta Silver or Gold, Frontier Gold, Platinum, or Diamond, Southwest A-List or A-List Preferred, Spirit Gold, and United Silver or Gold will match to Mosaic 1.
- You’ll need to supply a screenshot of your frequent flyer program profile showing your full name and proof of status to match to Mosaic 1.
- Alaska MVP Gold 75K or 100K, American Platinum Pro or higher, Delta Platinum or higher, and United Platinum or higher will match to Mosaic 2.
- You’ll need to supply a screenshot or photo of your most recent boarding pass or flight confirmation email showing your status and a screenshot of your frequent flyer program profile showing your full name and proof of status to match to Mosaic 2.
Processing will take up to 4 weeks.
- Status is valid for 3 months, but you can extend it until the end of the following year by earning:
- 10 tiles to keep Mosaic 1
- 25 tiles to keep Mosaic 2
- 40 tiles to earn Mosaic 3
- Even if you match to Mosaic 1, you will earn Mosaic 2 or 3 by earning 25 or 40 tiles in 3 months.
- Even if you match to Mosaic 2, you will still get Mosaic 1 if you earn 10 tiles in 3 months.
Timing is key here if you want to extend status. The status will be extended based on the end of the 3 month challenge period. If you apply now and get the status in mid-September, your 3 month challenge period would end in mid-December and if you meet the challenge it would provide status through 12/31/25.
However if you apply in September and get the status in mid-October, your 3 month challenge period would end in mid-January and if you meet the challenge it would provide status through 12/31/26. Then again, if JetBlue processes the request faster than the 4 week processing time, you may wind up only getting status extended through 12/31/25.
To be safe, you may want to apply on 10/1, as the 3 month period would then have to end in January and status would be extended to 12/31/26 if you complete the challenge.
Then again, by waiting, you risk that the matching program could end before then…
You earn 1 tile for every $100 spent on JetBlue flights, most extras and fees, and vacation packages. You earn 1 tile for every $1,000 spent on JetBlue cards.

why does mosaic 1 not need a boarding pass and mosaic 2 needs one ?
Better fraud prevention for more perks?
I did this last year and was able to extend my status with their CC. My Mosaic 3 status is set to expire this year, can I reapply for the status challenge again now to try to extend another year?
Also, purchasing flight tickets for other members using my Jetblue cc does not qualify for the $100/1 tile only for regular card spend of $1000/1 tile, correct?
No, once per 24 months.
Correct.
I currently have mosaic 1, would I be able to match to mosaic 2? Or is it only for non elite members?
You can.
I am Mosaic 4 and I tried calling the top tier phone line this past Sunday my wait was 85 min…
Are you transferring Amex to Hawaiian?
Yes
Thanks Dan!

Has anyone done this and actually been matched yet? I’m curious how long its been taking. Thanks!
“Upon completing the challenge, Mosaic status must expire before being re-granted within 4 weeks.” What does this mean? That there will be a lapse from when you meet the challenge terms until you are awarded the status you qualified for?
Also, would anyone know if one could apply for the Mosaic 2 status match if they currently have mosaic 1?
Dan do you know if I get status in October, whether you can earn some times iin 2023 and other tiles in 2024, and it would still count for the total of 40 tiles needed to get Mosaic 3?
Any way to do the challenge without flying ?
Yes, see the terms in the post.
@dan, can I ask ElAl to add my mosaic to my booking and this would give me any seat upgrade like even more space?
No
Would Jetblue allow me to match to Mosaic 2 if I currently have mosaic 1? (I know UA for example won’t let you status match if you have lower tier status with them or *A partners)
Yes
If you earn Mosaic 3 via the challenge, do they still award the 4 one-way mint upgrades?
Yes
!
Can i maintain the status by someone with existing status gifting me 20 tiles?
No
Thank you
“However if you apply in September and get the status in mid-October, your 3 month challenge period would end in mid-January and if you meet the challenge it would provide status through 12/31/26.”
I received Mosaic 1 through the status match challenge. Thanks @Dan!
My end date for the challenge is Jan. 30 2025. In chatting with JetBlue CSR last night, I was told that the extension would only be through 12-31-2025 (not 12-31-26) whether I obtain the 10+ tiles needed for Mosaic in 2024 or in January 2025.
1. Does anyone have any data points as to whether the status will extend to 2025 or 2026.
AND
2. Does it make a difference if I reach 10+ tiles in 2024 vs. 2025.
Thank you.
“You earn 1 tile for every $100 spent on JetBlue flights, most extras and fees, and vacation packages. You earn 1 tile for every $1,000 spent on JetBlue cards.”
I’m assuming if you book for your family it doesn’t count when you pool your miles so every dollar can go towards one flying blue account? For the tiles..
No, it’s personal. $100 spent on JetBlue for a flight you take to get a tile.
is this confirmed?
can i book refundable flights and cancel after i earn the tiles. do i then lose it?
