JetBlue is giving TrueBlue elites more runway. Mosaic status will no longer end on December 31; it will now continue through January 31 each year. The qualification window still closes on December 31, but members will keep benefits an extra month to finish holiday trips and end-of-year spending. Beginning February 1, 2026, Mosaic 3 and Mosaic 4 members will also earn more bonus points on direct bookings, and Mosaic 4 will see a larger pool of Mint upgrade certificates.

JetBlue says the status-through-January change is permanent moving forward. That gives elites more breathing room around the holidays and keeps benefits active into the first month of the new year. The airline emphasizes that tiles and qualifying spend still must be earned by December 31, so the extra month is about usage and convenience, not extra time to qualify.
Latest developments
Starting February 1, 2026, Mosaic 4 members will earn five bonus TrueBlue points per dollar on flights booked at jetblue.com or in the JetBlue app. Mosaic 3 members will earn four bonus points per dollar on those direct bookings. Mosaic 1 and 2 keep their current three bonus points per dollar. These increases are designed to reward higher tiers for booking direct and to concentrate value where elite demand is strongest.
Mosaic 4 also receives two additional Move to Mint certificates for a total of four per year, expanding access to JetBlue's premium cabin on applicable routes. JetBlue adds that Mosaic 4 members will have complimentary access to the new JetBlue lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) when it opens later this year.
Analysis
For frequent JetBlue flyers, the extra month of status is the most broadly helpful change. Many elites take year-end trips, and January travel often includes returns and repositioning. Keeping benefits active through January 31 preserves Mint upgrade priority, free changes where applicable, and the usual on-the-ground perks for that period. The direct-booking bonus will matter most to travelers who can consolidate spend on jetblue.com or in the app, since third-party bookings do not trigger the extra points. For Mosaic 4, moving to four Move to Mint certificates meaningfully improves the odds of flying the Mint cabin several times a year without paying the full fare.
If you expect to qualify at Mosaic 3 or 4 in 2026, consider shifting higher-fare or long-haul trips to direct channels to capture the incremental bonus points. For those targeting Mosaic 4, plan a calendar for when to deploy four Mint certificates on high-value routes and peak dates. And if you pass through New York, keep an eye on the JFK lounge opening timeline, since access will enhance the overall experience for top-tier members.
Final thoughts
JetBlue's decision to extend Mosaic status through January and to boost 2026 earn rates increases the program's day-to-day utility, while the larger Mint upgrade pool and planned JFK lounge access strengthen the top tier. If JetBlue is your primary carrier, these changes make Mosaic status more valuable, especially at Mosaic 4.
