Awesome JetBlue promo: Earn up to 350K points + 25 years of TrueBlue status

SAS EuroBonus rocked our worlds last year with a promotion awarding 1 million miles to everyone who flew 15 different SkyTeam airlines by the end of 2024. Etihad tried to replicate it recently with a much less interesting offering in terms of your chances of actually winning something. Now JetBlue has entered the fray with a promotion where you can earn up to 350,000 TrueBlue points, as well as elite status for the next 25 years.

JetBlue’s offering isn’t as generous as SAS and Etihad when it comes to the sheer number of bonus points that you can earn. However, it’s arguably an even better promotion because your out-of-pocket costs should be far lower, it’ll be more easy to achieve for many people as you can complete the eligible flights domestically and 25 years of status could be extremely valuable.

The Deal

• JetBlue is running a 25 For 25 promotion where you can earn the following:
  • Fly to 15 destinations & earn 150,000 bonus TrueBlue points
  • Fly to 20 destinations & earn a total of 350,000 bonus TrueBlue points
  • Fly to 25 destinations & earn Mosaic status for 25 years
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Offer valid for new and existing flown bookings departing 6/25/25 through 12/31/25.
• Customers visiting 15 destinations, as defined below, will earn 150,000 bonus TrueBlue points; 20 destinations will earn an additional 200,000 bonus TrueBlue points; and 25 destinations will earn Mosaic 1 status for 25 years in addition to any bonus points earned for visiting 15 and 20 destinations.
• To qualify, members must visit 15, 20 or 25 unique destinations on JetBlue-operated flights (excludes codeshare, interline and partner airline-operated flights). Blue, Blue Extra, EvenMore and Mint bookings, including Award Flights, Cash + Points bookings and JetBlue Vacations bookings, are eligible for this promotion.
• Blue Basic bookings are not eligible for this promotion and destinations visited on a Blue Basic fare booking will not count as qualifying unique destinations.
• Departure airports will not count as destinations in this promotion (e.g., LAX-BUF will count as visiting one destination (BUF)).
• Individual airports will count as unique destinations for cities with multiple airports (e.g., JFK, LGA and EWR are each unique destinations).
• Destinations visited on connecting flights are each considered qualifying destinations, regardless of time spent in the connecting city.
• Members must attach a valid TrueBlue number before travel to qualify. Non-revenue and Paisly bookings are not eligible for this promotion.
• Mosaic status will include Mosaic 1 status with a Perks You Pick selection (Mosaic benefits and perk selections and offerings are subject to change).
• Points and status will be issued within 2-3 weeks of offer completion.

Quick Thoughts

This is an insanely generous promotion, from the number of points on offer to how long the status will last for and even for how customer-friendly the small print is as it makes it much easier to reach the earning thresholds.

For anyone flying to 15 different destinations with JetBlue, you’ll earn 150,000 bonus points. If you get that far, it’ll be worth it for many people to go one step further and fly to an additional 5 destinations as that’ll earn you 200,000 more bonus points for a total of 350,000. Then if you’ve made it to 20 locations, why not keep going all the way to 5 further destinations as then you’ll earn TrueBlue Mosaic status for a whopping 25 years.

The math works out very favorably too, especially if all you do is fly to 20 different destinations. That’ll earn you an average of 17,500 bonus points per flight on top of any base points you might earn for each itinerary. That’s extremely rewarding considering how cheaply some JetBlue routes are available with cash or points. If you go all the way to 25 destinations in order to also earn the lengthy status, that’s 14,000 bonus points you’d earn per flight.

Speaking of which, it’s not only cash fares that are eligible for this promotion. Award flights count too, as do reservations made with Cash + Points and bookings via JetBlue Vacations. It’s sometimes possible to book JetBlue flights for fewer than 5,000 points one way, so it’s certainly possible that you can still come out well ahead, even if all your qualifying flights for this promotion are booked as award flights.

JetBlue is a transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, American Express Membership Rewards and Capital One. Chase and Citi transfer to JetBlue on a 1:1 basis, so those offer the best value. Amex transfers on an inferior 250:200 basis, plus they charge an excise tax. Capital One meanwhile also transfers on a mediocre 1,000:600 basis.

Other parts of the terms and conditions point to a customer-friendly set up too that aims to make it easier for participants to complete. For example, a destination is classified as an airport rather than a city. That means that in the New York City area there are four eligible airports you can have count – JFK, LGA, EWR and ISP.

Be careful with the list of airports you can search from though. If looking for Washington D.C., you’ll see IAD, DCA and BWI listed on JetBlue’s website. However, JetBlue doesn’t operate any flights from IAD nor BWI themselves, only their partner airlines do. Flights on partner airlines don’t count, so just because an itinerary is bookable on JetBlue’s website, it doesn’t mean that’ll necessarily be eligible.

Another customer-friendly element is that cities where you connect also count for this challenge, even if you’re only there to run from one JetBlue plane to another. That could potentially reduce your overall cost, especially if you’re able to find cheaper routings with two layovers.

A further great feature of how the promotion has been set up is that flights that you already have booked for travel during the promotion dates are eligible. Not having to rebook flights makes things much easier for people with existing bookings, especially if the flight prices have gone up in the meantime.

There are a few small print things to bear in mind when booking. One is that departure airports don’t count for this challenge unless you also fly in to them. That means that if you fly from DCA airport in Washington D.C. to JFK airport in New York City, then catch an Uber to LaGuardia (LGA) and then fly to Tampa (TPA), you’d only pick up two destinations – JFK and TPA – rather than four.

Another key point is that Blue Basic bookings aren’t eligible either. In the past it wasn’t possible to book Blue Basic fares with points, but that’s changed more recently so be sure not to get caught out by that.

For someone who’s a frequent flyer with JetBlue – or even an infrequent flyer with them – this promotion is one where it’ll be well worth considering if you can max it out. The bonus points alone could make it worthwhile, but getting a full 25 years of Mosaic status is the cherry jar of maraschino cherries on top. Don’t forget that JetBlue and United launched a reciprocal partnership recently, so earning status with JetBlue will also get you benefits when flying United for the next 25 years (if the partnership were to last that long).

If you have elite status with Delta or American Airlines, JetBlue is currently offering a status match from those programs. That would get you Mosaic status for now in advance of all your flights for the promotion, with you then not necessarily needing to worry about earning Tiles with JetBlue again for the next 25 years unless you want something higher than Mosaic 1.

Another way to fast-track your way to Mosaic status is to fly on a Dunkin’ branded plane in the next few months.

This promotion could also be worth taking advantage of for those with families where their children would be patient enough to sit through at least 25 flights. That’s obviously not going to be ideal in some cases and your 10 year old might currently despise you for dragging them around on an adventure like this. However, their 35 year old future self might have grown to appreciate your (and their own!) efforts by having status when they flew with JetBlue over those preceding 25 years.

Perhaps the biggest unknown in all of this is what’ll happen with JetBlue in the next 25 years. Perhaps they’ll downgrade benefits for those with Mosaic 1 status. Maybe they’ll greatly devalue TrueBlue points. They could even go out of business or be taken over by another airline which then doesn’t honor the promotion as the TrueBlue program would no longer exist. After all, JetBlue’s financial performance hasn’t exactly been stellar in recent years. All that said, if I flew with JetBlue even somewhat frequently, this would be a challenge I’d be strongly considering both for the value and the fun element of it.
