Is anyone going for the Mosaic Challenge? I'm trying to justify if Mosaic is worth it. My understanding is that we get no free upgrades to Mint. You get "free" cancellation and changes, but it's not really free because you get travel credit and not your money back, make it basically the same as Southwest airlines... LOL. So the only benefit besides higher earnings is the ability to "upgrade" to Even More Space using a token amount of points? Am I missing something here?

I am thinking about it, the free change fee is the most appealing thing IMHO.

Also useful is the dedicated phone line - comes in very handy during IRROPS, as well as just getting a person on the phone fast when you want to cancel/change flights.

Makes it completely worth it imo.
Also, better hard product that everyone else in the US.

I have about 1/2 travel for the challenge already booked already, I do have a rather pricey refundable ticket on AA booked on aa.com that I need to decide if I should move over to B6.

I had most of the miles I needed already booked. The remaining will involve changing from an unbooked, originally intended as AA (F) for AS miles, to a mint flight.

I'll get my money's worth on the free booze alone, but the changes and bags really make it worth it. Along with the booze, are there any snacks or food for free?

Snacks are always free, food (really, snack boxes) are never free. Although if you have the Jetblue card, I believe you get a 50% credit for all in flight purchases.
