JetBlue is offering 3x Tiles when booking hotel stays of $1,000+ through their TrueBlue Travel portal (formerly known as Paisly). This would put you well on the way towards Mosaic 1 status, so it might be of interest for some people.
You’ll have to be quick though as reservations have to be made by Thursday February 12.
The Deal
- Earn 3x Tiles when booking $1,000+ hotel stays through the JetBlue TrueBlue Travel portal.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- 3X bonus tile offer valid only for TrueBlue Travel hotel reservations purchased 2/11/26-2/12/26 for travel 2/11/26-6/30/26.
- A minimum $1,000 spend (including tax) on hotel purchases is required in order to qualify for 3X tiles.
- Minimum spend does not include property fees or any other additional property-assessed fees.
- Each traveler’s TrueBlue account information (name and TrueBlue number) must be entered at time of booking to receive tiles. TrueBlue number must be valid and match the lead traveler’s First and Last Name.
- New bookings only.
- All members generally earn one (1) tile per eligible $100 spent on the pre-tax price of their hotel stay. Members qualifying for this offer will earn two additional (2) bonus tiles, for a total of three (3) tiles per $100 spent on the pre-tax price of their hotel stay after travel is complete.
- Bonus tiles will appear in member’s account 4-8 weeks following the completion of travel.
- For TrueBlue Travel bookings made online or over the phone, this offer will be applied automatically.
Quick Thoughts
A nice feature of this promotion is that the $1,000 minimum spend requirement for the hotel stay includes taxes, although it excludes any kinds of resort fees, destination charges, etc. that are paid for at the hotel rather than in advance.
However, be aware that the total Tile earnings will be calculated based on the pre-tax cost of the stay. When booking hotels through TrueBlue Travel, you ordinarily earn one Tile per $100 spent on pre-tax stays, so with this promo you earn three Tiles per $100.
Let’s say you book a stay that miraculously costs exactly $1,000, which consists of a $900 base room rate and $100 tax. This promo means you’d earn 27 Tiles as you’d be earning 3x Tiles on nine sets of $100. Mosaic 1 status requires 50 Tiles, so that’d put you more than halfway there through one hotel booking alone. If your stay is more expensive, you’d be even closer to JetBlue elite status.
Speaking of status, bear in mind that TrueBlue Travel is an Online Travel Agency (OTA) which means that you won’t earn points with the hotel chain, you won’t be eligible for elite status benefits, you won’t earn elite night credits, etc. For independent properties and chain hotels where status and/or points aren’t a consideration, that might not be a big deal. For other types of stay, it could be.
Also consider other forgone earnings – such as the rewards that you could earn by booking the stay directly after clicking through from a shopping portal – when deciding whether the value from the bonus Tiles is worth it.
If you have a Barclays JetBlue Premier Mastercard, one of its benefits is a $50 statement credit when spending $250+ on TrueBlue Travel bookings, with a limit of $300 in credits each year. That would offer some savings, but I believe you only get one credit per booking, so you wouldn’t get four sets of $50 statement credits for a $1,000 booking – you’d only get $50.
The Barclays JetBlue Plus Mastercard and JetBlue Business Card both have their own benefits giving statement credits for eligible travel bookings, but that’s when booking through JetBlue Vacations which is an entirely different JetBlue travel portal to TrueBlue Travel.
If you do have some kind of JetBlue card though, bookings through TrueBlue Travel will earn you bonus points at the same rate as when booking JetBlue flights directly.

Hey Steven,
Many hotels have reserve now, pay later rates that are refundable. You can then use a card of choice at the hotel and charge it direct if you don’t want to pay upfront with a JetBlue card.
