JetBlue Airline Overview

TrueBlue is JetBlue’s loyalty program. You don’t earn points based on miles flown but rather dollars spent on JetBlue flights and partner activities.

TrueBlue has customer-friendly policies like no points expiration and the ability to share points with family members.

There are 4 elite status levels: Mosaic 1, Mosaic 2, Mosaic 3, and Mosaic 4. They come with many elite status benefits such as bonus points, complimentary Even More Space seats, priority boarding, and free checked bags.

JetBlue is not part of an airline alliance, but there are an increasing amount of redemption options with its expanding list of partner airlines.

Points Expiration

TrueBlue points do not expire.

JetBlue TrueBlue Program

The TrueBlue program has a unique feature in Points Pooling — available to all members — and has 4 levels of elite status: Mosaic 1, Mosaic 2, Mosaic 3, and Mosaic 4.

Points Pooling

With Points Pooling, up to 7 travelers can earn and share rewards together. There are several things to be aware of with Points Pooling:

When you join a TrueBlue Pool, 100% of your points go into the combined balance of the pool
The Pool Leader can manage members and designate who is allowed to use points
The Pool Leader can redeem any points in the pool without further authorization from a pool member
If the Pool Leader removes a member, no new member can be added for 6 months
A member who leaves a pool will do so with the remaining points balance in their own account

Mosaic Status Benefits

JetBlue is unique in that it offers benefits even before you reach the first elite tier at Mosaic 1. For every 10 tiles you earn, you can choose 1 of these perks:

Priority security access for the remainder of the year
Group B boarding (except on a Blue Basic ticket) for the remainder of the year
One-time 5,000 TrueBlue points you can redeem for a future flight
Complimentary alcoholic drink per flight for the remainder of the year
For 1 purchase, earn 2x bonus points on a JetBlue Vacations package

At Mosaic 1 status, you’ll receive:

Priority boarding, security, and check-in
2 complimentary checked bags
Complimentary upgrade from Express to Business First on Heathrow Express
Complimentary inflight alcoholic beverages (up to 3 drinks per flight)
Complimentary same-day changes starting from 24 hours prior to your flight
Complimentary Even More Space seats at check-in

At Mosaic 2 status, you’ll receive:

Complimentary Even More Space seats at booking

At Mosaic 3 status, you’ll receive:

4 “Move to Mint” certificates, allowing you to go from Core to Mint on eligible aircraft

At Mosaic 4 status, you’ll receive:

2 more “Move to Mint” certificates
Ability to gift Mosaic 1 status

At each Mosaic level you reach, you’re also allowed to pick a custom perk of your choice:

Complimentary IHG Platinum status
Complimentary FoundersCard Blue membership
15,000 bonus TrueBlue points, good for redemptions only
Gifting a 20-tile bonus to another TrueBlue member, allowing them to reach the next tier faster
Earn a 20-tile bonus for yourself
Pet fee waiver for the year (valued at $125 per use)
Mint Suite Priority, providing priority access to Mint seats (excluding Mint Suites)
$99 statement credit on select JetBlue credit cards

Earning Mosaic Status

To earn Mosaic elite status or incremental benefits prior to elite status, you need to earn tiles.

Mosaic 1: 50 tiles
Mosaic 2: 100 tiles
Mosaic 3: 150 tiles
Mosaic 4: 250 tiles

You’ll earn 1 tile for every $100 spent on any of the following: JetBlue flights, JetBlue Vacations, and TrueBlue Travel (hotels, car rentals, activities, etc.) Additionally, you’ll earn 1 tile for every $1,000 spent on any JetBlue credit card.

Bottom Line:

JetBlue has 4 levels of elite status which are earned by collection tiles. Some perks are automatic at each level of Mosaic status, while others can be chosen based at different levels through the “Perks You Pick” program.

Why We Like This Card

The Citi Double Cash^® Card has long been one of the top cash-back credit cards on the market, and the card now has the ability to earn Citi ThankYou Points!

This means that cardholders of the Double Cash card will now earn 2% on every purchase with unlimited 1% cash back when you buy, plus an additional 1% as you pay for those purchases. Cash back is earned in the form of ThankYou Points. This means each billing cycle, you will earn 1 ThankYou point per $1 spent on purchases and an additional ThankYou point for every $1 paid on your purchase balance as long as there is a corresponding balance in your Purchase Tracker.

Citi has turned the Double Cash card into a top choice for those who are looking for an everyday, no-fuss credit card.

Why We Like This Card

The Citi Custom Cash^® Card is inventive when it comes to cash-back credit cards. Instead of earning a set amount of cash-back on predetermined bonus categories, the Citi Custom Cash card earns 5% cash-back on your highest eligible spend category each billing cycle, with a $0 annual fee.

Thanks to that unique perk, you’ll never need to worry about whether you’re using the right card for the right purchase, as your Citi Custom Cash card will always pay you 5% back on whichever category you end up spending the most on each month.

Pros & Cons

5% cash-back (on up to $500 each billing cycle) from your largest purchase category, including restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, select travel, select transit, select streaming services, drugstores, home improvement stores, fitness clubs, and live entertainment
$0 annual fee
Multiple redemption options

Cons

Your 5% category is limited to $500 in spend ($25 in cash-back) each month
Not particularly rewarding for any purchases outside of your top 5% cash-back category

How To Redeem TrueBlue Points

TrueBlue has no mileage charts and no blackout dates, which means any ticket for sale in cash can be purchased with points.

Using Points for JetBlue Flights

You can book one-way or round-trip awards with TrueBlue points.

Search for flights the same as cash tickets; just select TrueBlue Points instead of Cash in your search.

JetBlue Website Booking Screen Points — Image Credit: JetBlue

You’ll see each fare option and its price in points. Mint fares will be displayed on flights where it’s available.

JetBlue Select Flight With Points — Image Credit: JetBlue

The points rate is not fixed. Depending on the specific flight, you could get less than 1 cent in value per point, or you could get nearly 2 cents per point in value, so it’s always worth doing the math before booking.

Finding Value in TrueBlue Award Flights

You can get a good value for your TrueBlue points, especially when the cash prices for tickets are low.

See our guide to the best ways to redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points for our top suggestions for using your TrueBlue points.

Flights on Partner Airlines

While JetBlue has several airline partners for earning points, only some of them are available for redemption using TrueBlue points, including Japan Airlines.

You must call JetBlue to check for award availability and price. Prices are based on the cash price of the ticket and are generally reported to be a poor value compared to other options for Hawaiian Airlines flights or flights to Hawaii.

Who Are the JetBlue TrueBlue Partners?
JetBlue has a number of partners with which you can use your points. Airlines include Hawaiian, Icelandair, JSX, Singapore Airlines, and South African Airways.

Other travel partners include IHG, Avis, and Budget. There are also many more partners you can shop with.
