JetBlue Airways has often been voted as the best low-cost carrier in the United States. The airline not only offers the most legroom of any airline in its price range (a spacious 32 to 34 inches), but it also provides delicious snacks and free Wi-Fi in every seat. Plus, the carrier’s frequent-flyer program, JetBlue TrueBlue, recently underwent a massive overhaul, adding several more elite status tiers and more ways to earn rewards.
While the JetBlue TrueBlue program has often been overlooked in the world of points and miles, TrueBlue points are easy to earn and redeem, and earning Mosaic elite status within the program is fairly achievable. Plus, even if you don’t have elite status with JetBlue, you’ll still have access to elite-like perks every time you earn 10 tiles (which are the metric used to earn JetBlue Mosaic elite status) as part of the new Perks You Pick feature.
Additionally, with the new TrueBlue Mosaic elite status program, members can earn Mint upgrade certificates, which were never formally a part of the TrueBlue program until now.
Currently, JetBlue operates almost exclusively in the Americas. However, the airline recently began operating transatlantic flights to select cities in Europe. Still, if you’re looking to utilize the JetBlue TrueBlue program, you should be aware that it won’t do you much good if you’re looking to fly around Asia or Africa.
However, if you want to book some award flights on this side of the Atlantic, TrueBlue offers some high-value redemptions, especially when you take advantage of the flash sales.
Let’s go over everything you need to know about the JetBlue TrueBlue program: airline partners, elite status, how to earn points and how to get the most value out of those points.
JetBlue TrueBlue Overview
JetBlue serves more than 100 destinations across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. It’s worth noting that JetBlue doesn’t operate flights in Canada. However, the carrier recently added London to its network, representing its first route in Europe.
Unlike many airlines that cut back their routes during the COVID-19 pandemic, JetBlue actually added about 30 more routes in the last few years, most of them out of Newark, New Jersey (EWR), and the Florida area.
JetBlue is also one of the youngest airlines in the United States, so it’s a new player in the world of points and miles. The earnings and redemptions rates are based on the cash price of the flight. However, you also can rack up TrueBlue points without ever stepping on an airplane through credit card spending, dining, shopping or staying with one of their hotel partners.
While JetBlue has several partner programs that you can earn and redeem points with, JetBlue is technically part of an airline alliance known as the Northeast Alliance. But, as of right now, this alliance only consists of JetBlue and American Airlines. Here’s the full list of JetBlue’s hotel and airline partner programs:
Aer Lingus | IHG One Rewards |
American Airlines | JSX |
Cape Air | Qatar Airways |
Emirates | Silver Airways |
Hawaiian Airlines | Singapore Airlines |
Icelandair | South African Airways |
You can earn JetBlue TrueBlue points by flying any of the airline partners above. However, you can redeem TrueBlue points only for Hawaiian Airlines flights. It’s also worth noting that you can earn 100 points per day (or 200 points per day for JetBlue TrueBlue Mosaic elite members) for rental car bookings through Avis or Budget.
In general, JetBlue’s route network is largely centered around New York City and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. So, if you live in one of these two cities (or in one of their four smaller hub cities of Boston; Orlando, Florida; Long Beach, California; and San Juan, Puerto Rico), then you’ll definitely want to pay attention to the JetBlue TrueBlue program. And you may even want to try to earn Mosaic elite status.

So, if you live in one of these two cities (or in one of their four smaller hub cities of Boston; Orlando, Florida; Long Beach, California; and San Juan, Puerto Rico), then you’ll definitely want to pay attention to the JetBlue TrueBlue program. And you may even want to try to earn Mosaic elite status.
Tiles Earned | Qualifying Spend |
---|---|
1 tile for every $100 spent | JetBlue flights (including many extras and fees), JetBlue Vacation packages, Paisly by JetBlue (cars, stays and more) and American Airlines flights |
1 tiled for every $1,000 spent | All JetBlue credit cards |
So, under these rules, you’d earn 1 tile for spending $100 on flights with either JetBlue or American Airlines (including some fees and extras). You’d also earn 1 tile for every $100 spent through JetBlue Vacations or Paisly by JetBlue, which is a portal that allows you to book vacation rentals, cars, activities, purchase travel bags and more. So, to earn 50 tiles (which is what’s required to earn the lowest Mosaic elite status tier), you’d have to spend a minimum of $5,000.
You can also earn 1 tile for every $1,000 you spend on a co-branded JetBlue credit card. So, for instance, if you spent $5,000 on the JetBlue Card in a calendar year, you’d earn 5 tiles for that spending.
As part of the new JetBlue TrueBlue program, members can start earning rewards for accumulating as few as 10 tiles.
Perks You Pick
JetBlue is now offering elite-like perks to TrueBlue members before they even reach elite status. Once you earn 10 tiles, you’ll be able to choose from one of the Perks You Pick, which include:
- Early boarding (Group B), excluding Blue Basic fares
- Priority security (access to expedited lane at dozens of airports)
- First beer, wine or liquor is free each flight (21+)
- JetBlue Vacations bonus (earn 2X points bonus on a JetBlue Vacations package, one-time use)
- Boost your TrueBlue balance by 5,000 points
You’ll also be able to choose another Perks You Pick benefit after you cross 20 tiles, 30 tiles and 40 tiles. To be clear, all of your previously selected Perks You Pick benefits will still be applicable. For instance, if you choose early boarding as your benefit when you earn 10 tiles and then choose priority security as your benefit when you earn 20 tiles, you’ll be entitled to both early boarding and priority security.
Once you earn 50 tiles, you’ll achieve Mosaic 1 status, which offers a menu of Mosaic Perks You Pick and Mosaic Signature Perks. And, if you didn’t already pick the JetBlue Vacations or 5,000-point bonuses before reaching Mosaic 1, they’ll automatically be added to your Mosaic Signature Perks when you achieve Mosaic 1.
Mosaic Perks You Pick
Once you achieve Mosaic 1 status, you will be able to choose from a list of Mosaic Perks You Pick benefits. Then, each time you level up through the four levels of Mosaic elite status, you’ll be able to choose another Mosaic Perks You Pick benefit. Plus, any other Mosaic Perks You Pick benefits that you’ve already earned will still be effective.
Here is a list of the Mosaic Perks You Pick benefits that you can choose from:
- Complimentary FoundersCard Blue membership, which includes more than 150 premium travel, business and lifestyle benefits
- Waived pet fee (which is normally $125 per flight) on all eligible JetBlue-operated flights
- $99 statement credit for the JetBlue Plus Card or the JetBlue Business Card
- Get or gift a 20-tile bonus to help you or a friend or family member get to the next elite status quicker
- Boost your TrueBlue balance by 15,000 points
- Priority access to Mint Suite selection on select flights, excluding Mint Studio (pending availability)
Mosaic 1
As previously mentioned, the only way to achieve Mosaic 1 status is by earning 50 tiles. And the only way to earn tiles is by spending money on JetBlue flights, American Airlines flights, JetBlue Vacations, Paisly by JetBlue or JetBlue credit cards. To earn Mosaic 1 status, you’ll need to spend at least $5,000 in these categories.
Here are the perks that come with Mosaic 1 status:
- Two free checked bags for you and eligible travel companions
- Free in-flight alcoholic drinks for Mosaic member (21+)
- Up to 7 inches more legroom at no additional charge during check-in on every JetBlue-operated flight (pending availability)
- Switch flights on the same day with no fee or fare difference, starting 24 hours before original departure
- Mosaic priority boarding and a dedicated boarding lane
- Priority security access lane at dozens of airports
- Dedicated check-in at the Mosaic desk
- Dedicated phone support and online customer service chat
- Complimentary upgrades on Heathrow Express
In addition to all of the previously mentioned perks, Mosaic 1 members will be allowed to choose one Mosaic Perks You Pick benefit.
Mosaic 2
To achieve Mosaic 2 status, you need to earn at least 100 tiles, which means you’ll need to spend at least $10,000 in the qualifying spending categories. Mosaic 2 status members will enjoy all of the perks included with Mosaic 1 status as well as the following:
- Up to 7 inches more legroom at no additional charge during booking on every JetBlue-operated flight (pending availability)
To clarify, while Mosaic 1 members can get free upgrades to Even More Space seats if they’re available at check-in, Mosaic 2 members can get free upgrades to Even More Space seats if they’re available when booking.
In addition to all of the previously mentioned perks, Mosaic 2 members will be allowed to choose two Mosaic Perks You Pick benefits.
Mosaic 3
To achieve Mosaic 3 status, you’ll need to earn 150 tiles, meaning you’ll need to spend a minimum of $15,000. Mosaic 3 members will be entitled to all of the perks included with Mosaic 2 elite status as well as the following:
Four certificates that allow you to book in back (coach fares) and then move up to Mint at no additional charge (pending availability)
In addition to all of the previously mentioned perks, Mosaic 3 members will be allowed to choose three “Mosaic Perks You Pick” benefits.
Mosaic 4
To achieve Mosaic 4 status, you’ll need to earn 250 tiles, which means that you’ll have to spend at least $25,000 in the specified spending categories. Mosaic 4 status members will receive all of the perks that come with Mosaic 3 elite status as well as the following:
- Two certificates that allow you to book coach fares and then move up to Mint at no additional charge (pending availability)
- Four credits for one-way BLADE helicopter transfers between Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport.
To be clear, the two “Move to Mint” certificates that you earn at Mosaic 4 status are in addition to the four “Move to Mint” certificates that you earn at Mosaic 3 status (for a total of six certificates).
In addition to all of the previously mentioned perks, Mosaic 4 members will be allowed to choose four Mosaic Perks You Pick benefits.
Reciprocal Perks on American Airlines
In addition to the Signature Perks and Mosaic Perks You Pick that you’ll receive from your elite status, Mosaic members at any level are entitled to certain perks on American Airlines-operated flights. These perks include two free checked bags, free Main Cabin Extra upgrades at check-in, free same-day flight change, priority boarding, expedited security and dedicated check-in.
Plus, you can also earn TrueBlue points as well as Mosaic tiles while flying on American Airlines metal. And, considering that American Airlines is one of the largest carriers in the United States, this is a huge advantage for those who are aiming to climb the Mosaic elite status tiers and ear award flights from JetBlue.
How to Earn TrueBlue Points
Obviously, the most straightforward way to earn TrueBlue points is to fly on JetBlue flights. However, there are several other ways to earn points that you’ll want to be aware of, from spending on JetBlue credit cards to shopping on Amazon.
Flying with JetBlue
The most obvious way to earn TrueBlue points is by flying JetBlue. The number of points you earn depends on the cost of your ticket, the fare type and where you make your booking.
If you’re flying in fare classes Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra or Mint, you’ll receive at least 3X TrueBlue points per dollar spent on base fare. If you make your booking directly through JetBlue, you’ll also earn an additional 3X points.
If you book a Blue Basic ticket (the lowest fare class), you’ll earn 1X point per dollar spent and an additional 1X point for booking directly through JetBlue.
No matter what fare class you book, you’ll earn an additional 3X points per dollar spent if you have Mosaic elite status. Plus, you can earn another 3X to 6X points for paying with a JetBlue credit card.
Here is a breakdown for the earnings bonuses that you can earn with JetBlue:
Blue/Blue Plus/Blue Extra/Mint | Blue Basic | |
---|---|---|
Mosaic-qualifying base points | 3 | 1 |
Direct booking bonus | 3 | 1 |
JetBlue Card/Plus Card bonus | 3/6 | 3/6 |
Mosaic bonus | 3 | 3 |
Total points earned per $1 | 12/15 | 8/11 |
As you can see, if you book a flight in Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra or Mint fare class directly through JetBlue with the JetBlue Plus Card as a Mosaic elite member, you could earn as many as 15X points per dollar on that flight. This means that you can rack up a large balance of TrueBlue points with just a few flights.
If you frequently fly with a pet, you will have to pay $125 each way to add your pet to your booking. However, you’ll earn an extra 300 TrueBlue points for flying with your furry friend. You will also earn 200 bonus points if you pay the additional fee for an Even More Space seat.

Flying with Partner Airlines
In addition to earning TrueBlue points by flying with JetBlue, you can also earn TrueBlue points by flying with some of JetBlue’s partner airlines. Here are the seven domestic and international airlines on which you can earn TrueBlue points:
Partner Airline | Earnings Rate |
---|---|
Emirates | Minimum 1 point per 2 miles |
Hawaiian Airlines | Minimum 0.5 point per 2 miles |
Icelandair | Many coach flights don’t earn points. Flights that do earn points earn a minimum of 1 point per 2 miles. |
JSX | 150 to 250 points per flight |
Silver Airways | 250 points per flight |
Singapore Airlines | Minimum 1 point per 2 miles |
South African Airlines | Minimum 1 point per 2 miles |
The earnings rates listed above are the minimum earnings rates on each partner airline. However, the exact earnings rate will vary by airline, booking class and distance. You can access the earnings chart for each partner through JetBlue’s partner directory.
If you want to credit a flight from one of the aforementioned partners to your JetBlueTrueBlue account, simply enter your TrueBlue account number when booking your flight.
As part of JetBlue’s partnership with American Airlines, you can earn TrueBlue points on American Airlines flights just like you would on a JetBlue flight—3X points per dollar on all fare classes, except basic economy, which earns 1X point.
You can also get your 3X additional points for holding Mosaic status. However, American Airlines flights aren’t eligible for direct booking or JetBlue credit card payment bonuses.
You can book American Airlines flights through JetBlue’s website and receive TrueBlue points. Alternatively, you can also book qualifying flights through American Airlines’s website, select JetBlue Airways for the frequent-flyer program and then enter your TrueBlue account number.
Spending with JetBlue Credit Cards
One of the best ways to earn TrueBlue points without ever actually stepping on a plane is to sign up for one of JetBlue’s three co-branded credit cards, all of which are issued by Barclays. With these cards, you can earn TrueBlue points for everyday spending and unlock special benefits when flying with JetBlue.
Here are the three co-branded JetBlue cards and what you should know about them.
Annual fee | Spending bonuses | Notable perks | |
---|---|---|---|
JetBlue Card | $0 | • 3X points on eligible JetBlue purchases • 2X points at restaurants and grocery stores • 1X points on everything else | • 50% rebate on in-flight food and beverage purchases • No foreign transaction fees |
JetBlue Plus Card | $99 | • 6X points on eligible JetBlue purchases • 2X points at restaurants and grocery stores • 1X points on everything else | • Free checked bag on JetBlue • Unlimited 10% rebate when you redeem points • 50% rebate on in-flight purchases • No foreign transaction fees • 5,000 points every cardmember anniversary • Ability to earn Mosaic status after spending $50,000 in a calendar year • Annual $100 statement credit toward JetBlue Vacations packages |
JetBlue Business Card | $99 | • 6X points on eligible JetBlue purchases • 2X points at restaurants and office supply stores • 1X points on everything else | • Free checked bag on JetBlue • Unlimited 10% rebate when you redeem points • 50% rebate on in-flight purchases • No foreign transaction fees • 5,000 points every cardmember anniversary • Ability to earn Mosaic status after spending $50,000 in a calendar year • Annual $100 statement credit toward JetBlue Vacations packages • Group A boarding on JetBlue-operated flights |

Another great way to earn a lot of TrueBlue points quickly is with the welcome bonuses offered by all three of these cards. To get the bonus, you’ll need to spend a certain amount of money within a specified amount of time after opening the card.
Earning with Other Partners
Outside of their airline partners, JetBlue is also partnered with several other hotel, rental car, shopping and credit card programs that can help you boost your TrueBlue points balance. However, you should be aware that earning TrueBlue points with some of these programs will prevent you from earning that program’s own rewards currency.
Amazon
You can earn 3X points per dollar spent on Amazon when you shop onboard a JetBlue flight via Fly-Fi. To do so, log in to Fly-Fi using your TrueBlue account credentials and then go to Amazon.com to earn 3X points on eligible purchases that you make during your flight. Note that you won’t earn TrueBlue points if you make purchases through the Amazon mobile app.
Avis and Budget
By providing your TrueBlue account number when booking a rental car through Avis or Budget, you can earn 100 TrueBlue points per day. Mosaic elite status holders will earn an additional 100 points per day, totaling 200 points per day.
For certain rentals, TrueBlue members may earn discounts on rental car base rates through Avis and Budget.
IHG One Rewards
At most hotel brands that participate in the IHG One Rewards program, you can earn 2X TrueBlue points per dollar spent on qualifying room rates. You’ll earn 1X point at participating Candlewood and Staybridge Suites and earn 500 points per qualifying stay at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.
Jet Opinions
As a member of JetBlue TrueBlue, you can earn 400 points for completing your first survey on Jet Opinions. You can then continue to fill out surveys and be rewarded with points. The number of points you’ll earn varies by survey.
Credit Card Transfer Partners
If you want to boost your TrueBlue account quickly and you have a large balance of points that you’ve earned with a major credit card issuer, you can transfer points from all major transferable points programs at varying rates.
Here are the rates for each of these major programs:
Here are the standard transfer rates from partners to JetBlue:
Transferable Points Program | Transfer Ratio |
---|---|
American Express Membership Rewards | 1.25:1 |
Capital One Rewards | 2:1.5 |
Chase Ultimate Rewards | 1:1 |
Citi ThankYou Rewards | 1:1 for Chairman, Citi Prestige® Card and Citi Premier® Card cardholders and 1:0.8 for Citi ThankYou Preferred and Citi Rewards+® Card cardholders |
If you have a JetBlue flight on your radar and you don’t have enough TrueBlue points in your account, you might want to consider transferring points from one of the aforementioned programs to top off your balance.
TrueBlue Dining
You can earn 3X points per dollar spent at participating restaurants (whether eating out or ordering in) when you sign up for TrueBlue Dining and link a card. Every time you dine at a participating restaurant and use that card, you’ll automatically earn TrueBlue points.
It’s worth noting that you can link your credit card to only one airline dining rewards program at a time, so you might want to research which airline dinings rewards program offers the best earnings before signing up for TrueBlue Dining.
With any airline dining rewards program, you will earn points or miles in addition to the points or miles that your credit card earns. So, make sure that you use whatever credit card offers the best dining rewards when linking to TrueBlue Dining or a similar program.
TrueBlue Shopping
You can earn 3X points per dollar on purchases made through the TrueBlue Shopping portal. You can simply log in with your TrueBlue account credentials and browse products from hundreds of merchants worldwide. Whenever you place an order through the portal, you’ll be rewarded with TrueBlue points.
You can also earn points by shopping in stores at certain merchants. To do so, navigate to the in-store offer page, link a credit card and earn points when shopping in-store at participating merchants. Current participants include Lowe’s, Banana Republic and Old Navy, to name a few.
How to Redeem TrueBlue Points
JetBlue uses a dynamic pricing model for its award flights, meaning that the price you pay in points is tied pretty closely to the cash rate. Unlike some other airlines, you can use points to book any seat on any flight across JetBlue’s entire route network. With most seats, the average value per point is about 1.3 cents. Unfortunately, redemption values tend to be a bit lower with booking in Mint fare class.
However, on top of redeeming your points for JetBlue flights, you can also book Hawaiian Airlines flights with TrueBlue points. You also have the option to book vacation packages through JetBlue Vacations and use your points to pay for a portion of the bundle.
Points Payback
JetBlue recently added the option for the JetBlue Plus cardmembers to use their TrueBlue points to pay themselves back for purchases of $25 or more (up to a maximum of $1,000 per year).
Once again, this option is only available to JetBlue Plus Card holders. Cardholders of the JetBlue Card or the JetBlue Business Card and non-cardholder TrueBlue members don’t have access to this option.
However, even if you do have the JetBlue Plus Card, you probably won’t want to redeem your points this way. When using Points Payback, your TrueBlue points are worth about 0.75 cents apiece. If you were to redeem for $25 in statement credits, it would cost you 3,333 points. If you were to redeem for the annual maximum of $1,000 in statement credits all at once, it would cost you 133,333 points.
Since you can get a lot more value out of your TrueBlue points by redeeming them in other ways, you’re probably better off not using the Points Payback feature even if you’re a JetBlue Plus cardholder.
Booking JetBlue Flights
If you want to book a JetBlue award flight, just search for your flight itinerary on JetBlue’s website like you normally would and check the “Use TrueBlue Points” box. Then, you’ll see the available flights on your selected dates and their respective costs in points. You can compare the cost in points to the cash fare by searching the same dates and destination again without checking the “Use TrueBlue points” box.
As a reminder, if you have the JetBlue Plus Card or the JetBlue Business Card, you’ll receive a 10% rebate on all award flights, so you should factor that in when calculating the value of a redemption.
JetBlue also gives you the option to pay for award flights with Points + Cash, meaning you can use TrueBlue points to cover a portion of the fare and cash to cover the rest. Unfortunately, your points typically don’t go as far when redeeming this way, yielding an average value of 0.9 cent per point.
So, if you really need to book a flight but you’re short on points, it might be worth using Points + Cash. In any other case, it’s probably better to use all points or all cash to pay for your flight.
Booking Hawaiian Airlines Flights
Despite JetBlue’s long list of airline partners, Hawaiian Airlines is the only partner airline that allows you to book award flights with TrueBlue points. It’s worth noting that you can’t currently book American Airlines flights with TrueBlue points. However, JetBlue has said that it’s working to make that an option in the future.
If you want to book a Hawaiian Airlines flight with TrueBlue points, you will need to call JetBlue customer service. You can’t book Hawaiian Airlines flights through JetBlue’s website. JetBlue has stated that award tickets are available on all Hawaiian Airlines flights. However, award availability may be limited.
Hawaiian Airlines serves 30 destinations across eight countries. It uses a fixed award chart to price its award flights, meaning that you’ll pay a fixed number of points based on the fare class, origin and destination of your reservation.
Here is the Hawaiian Airlines award chart from JetBlue’s website:
Origin | Destination | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hawaii | West Coast U.S. | East Coast U.S. | International Destinations | |
Hawaii | 6,000 | 22,000 | 30,000 | 30,000 |
West Coast U.S. | 22,000 | X | X | 50,000 |
East Coast U.S. | 30,000 | X | X | 50,000 |
International Destinations | 30,000 | 50,000 | 50,000 | X |
As you can see, flights within Hawaii can be purchased for as few as 6,000 TrueBlue points. However, if you’re flying out of the continental United States, you’re going to pay a minimum of 22,000 points. Still, you can find some redemptions through Hawaiian Airlines that offer solid value, especially if you’re looking to fly to or out of Hawaii.
JetBlue Vacations
In addition to just booking flights, you can also book hotel and flight packages using TrueBlue points through JetBlue Vacations. While in the past you could use TrueBlue points only to discount the price of a JetBlue Vacations package, it’s now possible to pay for the entire vacation package. However, you still will have to pay a modest amount of cash in fees and taxes.
You can also purchase flight and cruise packages through JetBlue Vacations, but, unfortunately, they don’t allow you to pay for any portion of these packages with points.
If you want to book a hotel and flight package using points, you can search your desired dates, origin and destination on the JetBlue Vacations website and check the “Use TrueBlue Points” box. Then, you’ll be presented with your hotel and flight options and the amount you’ll have to pay in points and cash.
As you can see above, some of these JetBlue Vacations packages do allow you to pay almost entirely in points. So, if you have a large sum of TrueBlue points sitting in your account, you may want to look into JetBlue Vacations as a redemption option.
The Bottom Line
While there aren’t many redemptions within the JetBlue TrueBlue program that offer exceptionally high value, this is still a frequent-flyer program worth participating in. First of all, JetBlue is one of the highest-rated airlines in the United States, and it puts a lot of effort into maximizing the onboard experience of their passengers.
On top of that, Mosaic elite status is one of the easiest airline elite statuses to achieve in the entire industry. And, with the huge changes they just made to their elite status program and the perks that come with each elite status, it’s definitely worth at least enrolling in TrueBlue.
Even if you don’t make it all the way to Mosaic 1 status, you can start receiving elite-like perks as soon as you earn 10 tiles (which are the TrueBlue program’s new elite status metric). You’ll earn 1 tile for every $100 you spend on JetBlue or American Airlines flights, JetBlue Vacations packages or purchases through Paisly by JetBlue. You’ll also earn 1 tile for every $1,000 you spend on a JetBlue co-branded credit card.
When it comes to earning TrueBlue points, you can do so by flying with JetBlue or American Airline or by dining, filling out surveys and several other ways that don’t involve stepping on an airplane. Then, you can redeem those TrueBlue points for flights with JetBlue, flights with Hawaiian Airlines or JetBlue vacation packages. Unfortunately, TrueBlue points can’t currently be used to purchase American Airlines flights, but that option may become available in the next few years.
