What makes you think they will announce something this week?

Apparently they're too busy coming up with a policy mandating face mask wearing by passengers.

Yes...special Mosaic member masks....

It does surprise me that Jet Blue has not been on top of their game on this. It is a simple and sensible gesture that merely matches what has been offered by virtually all other airlines.

I disagree that it's simple - anything to do with plans or finances that far in advance can't be, in these times. Who knows what things are going to look like in 2021? And frankly - what's the rush? What plans are you making that depend on you knowing your 2021 status, right now? They've got bigger, more immediate worries.

I've been Mosaic for years, and happy to wait closer to when I'm actually making 2021 travel plans to find out.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to wait to make plans. Everyone's circumstances are different.

Pretty much every other US airline with an elite program has managed to figure it out by now. AA, DL, UA, AS, and even WN have all published benefit extensions. JetBlue is trailing the pack. With JetBlue's limited network (even more so after the route cuts, and who knows when they will all be brought back to full service levels), passengers -- especially Mosaics -- have more and more reason to jump ship.

Jet Blue is in the minority here. Most carriers have already extended including airlines like EVA and ANA and JAL that are not exactly known for great loyalty programs.

I will have two business trips that will commence the instant that quarantines are lifted in the respective destinations. With the speed that some governments seem intent on reopening, this could happen very soon. Before then, it would be nice to have some clarity on what Jet Blue intends to do even if the plan is to do nothing. It is certainly nice to be able to sit doing nothing and without any concerns. Not all of us have that luxury.

Jetblue is my favorite and go to airline. I live in one of their hubs and I fly frequently. I have been a mosaic member going on 4 years now. I already think the benefits are great, and I get the most out of the no change fees and early boarding. However, I believe it is one of the easiest, if not the easiest program to achieve status with such a low bar. Someone already said it in another post - a couple round trip mint flights and you're done. That's honestly how I end up getting it. I also believe that the Mint benefits dilute the mosaic benefits and that there are opportunities to create some mosaic only perks, be it upgrade to a mint seat with points, or tier out the suites and give mosaic access to a suite upgrade with points, or something like that. I suggest this every time I am asked to complete a survey.

Because of that low bar and the introduction of the mint product, I have long suspected significant changes to mosaic were on the horizon, including raising the dollar threshold to earn it. I have a hunch that JetBlue may have been on the cusp of announcing changes to the mosaic program before Covid-19. I have no inside information on this; it is merely a speculation of mine. And it makes me wonder if that is what's causing their delayed response to what to do about earning status for 2021.

Just got an email that I've qualified for Mosaic (which I already was and haven't flown anywhere recently obviously). Tracker on my profile says I'm Mosaic through 12/31/21. Good stuff!

I received the same notification and definitely have not qualified for 2021. I wanted to check that this referred to 2021 (and was not a dumb reminder that I qualified for 2020). However, I can't actually log in to my trueblue account. When I log in to the tracker, it says it can't find the page. Do you think their site is just overwhelmed?

BlackHappy

awesome. I didn’t get an email but tracker says 2021 as well!

AutoSlash

Anyone who qualified for Mosaic based upon flights taken in 2019 will automatically have their status extended through 2021. Those who earned Mosaic status based upon JetBlue/Barclays credit card spend will not as per the company.

As far as logging into their website, it can be finicky sometimes. Try again, or try using a private/incognito session and/or a different web browser. Often that will do the trick.

I can confirm I can login and see the tracker, and my JetBlue Mosaic status (which I earned through CC spend) still says Dec 2020 expiration.

I was not mosiac previously, but I did 8,594 points in Feb 2020 and got the notice that I am mosiac now through 2021. So they must have a lower threshold for this year...

shawbridge

Thanks AutoSlash for the info. By the way, I love the site autoslash.com.

TPG is reporting lower qualification standards for 2020.

TPG also says current Mosaics will be able to gift one Mosaic status.
