New Tiles Tracking System
JetBlue is making it easier than ever to track your progress towards its elite Mosaic level in the loyalty program. Introducing Tiles, an updated system showing different milestones for perks on JetBlue.
TrueBlue members can earn and redeem tiles with flights and other travel activities to get more benefits. To reach the first level of Mosaic, members must accumulate 50 tiles. However, the benefits start with as low as 10 tiles. Tiles are earned based on dollars spent with the airline instead of how many miles are flown. Here are all the ways to earn tiles on JetBlue:
Receive one (1) tile for each qualifying travel purchase through your TrueBlue account
- Hotels and Resorts
- Car Rentals
- Cruise bookings
- Travel/Trip activities
JetBlue Tiles can also be earned using ANY JetBlue Credit Card. Cardholders will receive one (1) tile for every $1,000 spent on the credit cards.
Perks Available for all TrueBlue Members
Thanks to the upcoming JetBlue Tile system, traveler perks with the airline start sooner than ever! All TrueBlue Members have access to select perks, regardless of whether you’ve reached Mosaic status.
