Summary of JetBlue’s Status Match Program
- JetBlue now offers a status match program for Delta Air Lines customers.
- Travelers can earn equivalent JetBlue status based on their current Delta status.
- The status will be valid through Dec. 30, with options to extend it.
JetBlue on Tuesday became the latest airline to agree to a status match for Delta Air Lines customers after the carrier adjusted how passengers can earn status for next year.
JetBlue will allow travelers who currently hold status with Delta to automatically earn an equivalent status with its airline. This JetBlue status will then be valid through Dec. 30, but can be extended another year either by opening a JetBlue Plus or Business card by that date or completing a status challenge.
The offer comes as Delta has made it harder to earn status with the airline in 2024, following a similar status matching program from Alaska Airlines.
“Following a refresh of the TrueBlue program that made earning Mosaic status easier and quicker than ever before,” JetBlue wrote in a statement shared with iBestTravel. “JetBlue is happy to offer Medallion members the loyalty that they deserve.”
The JetBlue status matching program is valid for customers who apply by Oct. 31, but it is only available to the first 30,000 travelers who qualify. Approved participants will receive their status match by Nov. 6.
To apply, travelers must fill out a form online.
Delta customers who currently have Silver Medallion status will receive JetBlue’s Mosaic 1 status, Gold Medallion customers will receive Mosaic 2 status, Platinum Medallion customers will receive Mosaic 3 status, and Diamond Medallion customers will receive Mosaic 4 status.
It may be worth noting that Mosaic 4 status includes credits for four one-way helicopter transfers between Manhattan and JFK or Newark airport.
For its part, JetBlue recently overhauled its TrueBlue loyalty program using a “tile” system. Travelers can choose a reward for every 10 tiles they earn through the company’s “Perks You Pick” system, which includes access to expedited security lanes or an onboard alcoholic drink. Travelers reaching the first status tier, Mosaic 1, can enjoy perks such as two free checked bags, free automatic upgrades to “Even More Space” seats, free same-day switches, and free on-board beer, wine, and liquor.
Unlike Delta, however, JetBlue doesn’t operate its own airport lounges.
