Our Verdict
Benefits are actually pretty good with Mosaic status. Worth matching if you’re eligible and have plans/might have plans to fly JetBlue later this year.
Hat tip to Wandering Aramean
I also confirmed that my newly acquired Mosaic status is good until 12/31/2018 by printing my JetBlue Loyalty Card which clearly has “Mosaic Expires on 12/31/2018” printed right on it.
Additionally, whereas the normal customer service line is 1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583). The Mosaic status customer service line is 1-877-JET-TRUE [538-8783].
The status is matched. The challenge is to keep the status and get the 15k points. You will not get the points unless you complete the challenge of spending approximately $1200 with the airline in the next 90 days.
Are you sure you don’t receive the 15,000 points when you complete the challenge. When I received the match I got an email that said:
Congratulations!
You have officially been granted TrueBlue Mosaic® status starting today and for the rest of 2017. To keep it through December 31, 2018 and earn the 15,000 qualifying bonus points, you just have to complete the Mosaic Challenge.*
Then in the fine print in states: Upon completion of the Challenge within the 90-day period following registration for the Challenge and receipt of Mosaic status, accepted participants will receive 15,000 bonus TrueBlue points deposited automatically in their TrueBlue account.
Hi Brian,
I’m not 100% sure actually.
I participated in the CHALLENGE, not the match because I do NOT have status with any other airline. I just completed the CHALLENGE and I am now officially Mosaic AND they gave me 15K points upon completing the CHALLENGE! Happy days! I’m looking forward to using my Mosaic status throughout 2018!
FYI: you can still enroll for the status CHALLENGE (match would be a no-op) even if you’re *currently* Mosaic.
Source: it isn’t excluded in the terms and a CSR verbally confirmed when I asked about it. Hopefully it works and saves me 50k spend next year. Blue Inc also qualifies if you have a business / EIN.
Have people been getting a confirmation email after applying for the match/challenge, or only once it is confirmed?
No, but you can call them to confirm that it’s active on your account. Also, if you try to enroll again, it will tell you you are already registered
i dont see this going well at all. what a shame. good thing everyone hates Delta. my fav.
wouldnt be surprised if they pull a wyndham SPG. remember that? haha. what a joke.
Observation tip: It seems like you could photoshop a certain status on another airline to qualify, since it seems they’re just asking for screenshots. As long as it looks legit, I don’t see how they would know. Any reason that wouldn’t work?
That would be fraud.
Integrity?
Not disputing that, but how is that any different from going for a targeted link or using the tricks for Amex higher bonuses?
I mean that would work but it is fraud
If people think it’s fraud, then I retract. I just figured it was another trick of the trade
AA gold is so less-valuable?
Why American gold is not included but DL//US silver is??? those are the same level, a typo?
They are very clearly and specifically targeting AA Gold as the sole exclusion, since every tier with every other significant US airline is included. I guess as the world’s biggest airline there are probably more AA Gold members than any other status among JetBlue’s customer base, so if they’re assuming some “conversion” rate with this promo then excluding AA Gold is the simplest way to keep costs down. Yes, I’m bitter since that’s my only status.
Edit: Alaska MVP and Southwest A-List are also excluded. So I guess that blows up my theory.
it doesnt blow up ur theory. you are correct. nobody is excluded except AA gold. they are being overly generous. not sure whats going on.
many companies made the mistake of matching everyone. and when everyone is diamond, nobody is diamond. i am not going to fly jetblue until 2019 after seeing this. SMH. what a sad day. maintaining status will be worthless. everyone will have the same exact status. will go back to southwest now.
meant to say nobody is excluded except for those three statuses.
It’s nice that Southwest Companion Pass qualifies for this offer. Are there any other airlines that also accept that for a status match?
You could try Alaska Airlines
