Fresh off a major overhaul to its True Blue program this past year, JetBlue is adding perks for 2024 for members who qualify for Mosaic Elite status.
Starting in 2024, the New York-based carrier is adding to its menu of Mosaic Perks You Pick, including the chance to earn hotel elite status within the IHG One Rewards program and rental car elite status with Avis.
Plus, high-level Mosaic members will be able to upgrade to JetBlue's premium Mint cabin immediately after booking a flight.
Upgrades to Mint, including lie-flat seats on JetBlue's growing list of transatlantic routes.
All of these changes are new perks, added to the list of benefits Mosaic members can enjoy and — as of now, at least — JetBlue has not announced any qualification changes to its True Blue program for 2024.
Seemingly the lone downside in the news: JetBlue will shift to a dynamic system for Mint upgrades, making it a little more unpredictable how many certificates a Mosaic member will need to move to the premium cabin.
The news follows sweeping changes JetBlue made to its True Blue program and Mosaic elite status over the last year, expanding it out into four status tiers (Mosaic 1 through 4).
JetBlue's changes to Mosaic status for 2024 fall into two categories: new signature perks awarded to all members in a particular elite status tier and new Mosaic Perks You Pick — the menu of benefits Mosaic members get to pick from each time they qualify for a new status tier.
JetBlue's new Mosaic Perks You Pick, starting in 2024, allows members a handful of new options they can select from upon reaching a new status tier. You get one choice from the menu once you reach Mosaic 1, another upon reaching Mosaic 2, etc.
New options include:
These perks will be added to a menu of choices that already includes:
JetBlue is also adding a couple of Mosaic perks for members that are awarded for all elite members, or at least all members of certain tiers, including:
Citing customer feedback in announcing the changes, JetBlue's Mosaic additions for 2024 provide members with a handful of new options, whether it's the chance to boost your own progress toward status and that of a family member… or picking up elite status in the IHG One Rewards program.
Certainly, the one meaningfully negative change could potentially be the dynamically-priced Mint upgrades. This could alter how far your four upgrade certificates go (Mosaic 3 members get four certificates with their status; Mosaic 4 members get two more). Upgrades will now require between and four certificates for a flight, depending on factors like the route and pricing.
Also keep in mind that, although Delta SkyMiles members can currently status match into Mosaic, the match technically bars members who

Following Delta Air Lines' decision to increase SkyMiles elite status requirements, some members may decide to jump ship. With Delta frequent flyers voicing their dismay at the new requirements, other airlines, such as Alaska Airlines and JetBlue, were quick to offer status to disgruntled Delta flyers. Now, American Airlines is following suit and has launched a new status challenge for upper-tier Delta and United Airlines elite members.
