JetBlue TrueBlue will now status match Frontier, Southwest and Spirit elites

If you hold elite status in a major U.S. airline loyalty program, JetBlue is offering you a way to try the benefits of elite Mosaic status in its TrueBlue program, even if you’ve never stepped onto a JetBlue aircraft.

When JetBlue first announced this ongoing status match program in August, elite members of the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, American Airlines AAdvantage, Delta Air Lines SkyMiles and United Airlines MileagePlus programs could match their existing status to JetBlue TrueBlue and be granted Mosaic 1 or 2 status in the TrueBlue program for three months. They could also extend their status through the end of 2025 by earning “tiles.” Now, JetBlue has added three new airline loyalty partners: Frontier Miles, Southwest Rapid Rewards and Spirit Airlines Free Spirit.

Here’s how the offer works.

Which existing status will JetBlue’s TrueBlue match?

The current JetBlue status match is offering to match the following existing elite status levels:

Mosaic 1 status members receive:

• Priority boarding
• Priority security (where available)
• Dedicated check-in lines and phone support
• Same-day switches with no fee or fare difference, starting 24 hours before departure
• Two checked bags free
• Even More Space seats at check-in at no extra cost
• Beer, wine, and liquor (up to three drinks per Mosaic member per flight)
• Avis status match (coming later in 2024)
• A Perks You Pick benefit of Mint Suite seat selection on aircraft with Mint Suites installed

Mosaic 2 status members receive all of the same perks as Mosaic 1, in addition to:

• Select Even More Space seats at booking at no extra cost
• A Perks You Pick benefit of a pet fee waiver, allowing you to travel with your cat or small dog at no extra cost

How do I apply for a JetBlue status match?

First, sign up for TrueBlue, which you can do online for free.

Then, apply online by submitting a screenshot of the existing frequent flyer program profile you wish to match, showing your full name and elite status level. If you wish to match to Mosaic 2, you’ll also need to include your most recent boarding pass or flight confirmation email showing the existing status you are matching from.

Matches can take up to four weeks to process, and you’ll be notified by email if your match is successful. There is no end date to this current status match offer.

How do I extend my matched JetBlue Mosaic status?

Mosaic status is usually earned through “tiles.” You can earn 1 tile for every $100 spent on JetBlue flights, Vacation and Paisly by JetBlue, or 1 tile for every $1,000 spent on any JetBlue-branded credit card.

To keep Mosaic 1 status, those who have been successfully matched will need to earn 10 tiles within the first three months to retain the status through 2025, or for those who wish to keep Mosaic 2, you’ll need to earn 25 tiles.

Those matched statuses that earn 40 tiles within the three months will be upgraded to Mosaic 3 status through 2025, which offers four certificates that allow you to upgrade to Mint business class for no additional cost (subject to availability; the number of upgrade certificates depends on the flight length), as well as all the Mosaic 1 and 2 perks.

Bottom line

It’s great to see a new status match offer from JetBlue, and to see the program adding more options, including some popular budget carriers. If you have built elite status in a competing program but perhaps are unhappy with that program, or your circumstances have changed, like moving to a location where JetBlue is more dominant than your usual carrier, this will give you the chance to try JetBlue’s TrueBlue loyalty program without having to sacrifice all of your elite benefits.

Once matched, if you like what you see, earning tiles in the program can extend or upgrade your Mosaic status through the end of 2025.
