JetBlue has launched a new status match opportunity for elite members of United, Delta, American and Alaska Airlines. Depending on the status that you have with the respective competitor, JetBlue will give you either Mosaic 1 or 2 status (see below for the benefits).

The initial status match is for three months and you’ll have the opportunity to extend it for the entirety of the both the current calendar year AND the following one by reaching various “tile” thresholds (tiles are JetBlue elite status-qualifying units).

• Matched status can then be extended or increased by the following activity within three months:
  • Mosaic 1 – Earn and receive 10 tiles
  • Mosaic 2 – Earn and receive 25 tiles
  • Mosaic 3 – Earn and receive 40 tiles
  • It’s not possible to obtain Mosaic 4 status through this promotion.

Quick Thoughts

This is similar to a couple of promotions that JetBlue ran last year, but with a wider net and more stringent requirements. This time, JetBlue is only matching up to Mosaic 2 and will  allow you to earn up to Mosaic 3 with the promo (Greg used the Delta promotion last year to grab Mosaic 4 for his P2, along with its included helicopter rides).

There’s three ways to earn the tiles necessary to extend status:

• 1 tile per $100 spent on JetBlue flights, JetBlue Vacations packages and Paisly by JetBlue.
• 1 tile per $1,000 spent on one of the JetBlue credit cards.
• Buy tiles for $107 each.

Tiles earned from each source will combine, so you could spend $2,000 on JetBlue flights and vacations for 20 tiles and then spend $20k on one of the credit cards and hit the 40 tile requirement to get Mosaic 3. Conversely, spending $40k on the JetBlue cards or $4k on flights and vacations would get you there as well.

The fact that there’s no expiry could make it even more appealing because you get the current calendar AND the next. So, if you were to apply for a status match in 1/1/25 and acquire 40 tiles by the end of March, you would have status for all of 2025 and 2026. That could be a great deal for folks who can take advantage of the JetBlue footprint…although it would mean that the promo would have to stick around that long.

There’s a lengthy list of terms and conditions, so be sure to check those before applying for the status match. For example, one of the requirements is that the applicant’s first and last names on your JetBlue account and frequent flier accounts that you’re matching from must be must be exactly the same. While that won’t be an issue for most people, there’s undoubtedly some with non-matching names for one reason or another.
