    If you’ve earned Mosaic 3 or 4 status, JetBlue gives you Move to Mint upgrade certificates, letting you elevate from economy to the premium Mint cabin. Mosaic 3 members typically receive 4 certificates, while Mosaic 4 members get an additional 2 certificates.

    To use these certificates:

    1. Book a Blue or Blue Extra fare (certificates don’t apply to Blue Basic, group bookings, or Vacations packages).

     

    1. Log in to Manage Trips and select “Move to Mint”; certificates must be applied at least 2 hours before departure.

     

    1. The number of certificates required varies by route and fare—JetBlue now displays this before booking, which is a helpful update for planning.

    Real-World Insights

    “In order to apply Move to Mint, you must first book a Blue fare flight… My son was on my reservation… I cancelled and rebooked to apply the certificates.

     These upgrades can deliver significant value—especially on routes where Mint fares exceed $1,000—making certificates a savvy perk for elite flyers.

     


     

    AmEx Membership Rewards → TrueBlue Transfers

    You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards to JetBlue TrueBlue at a 250:200 ratio (i.e., 1,000 MR points = 800 TrueBlue points). Transfers are usually instant.

    There’s a small Excise Tax Offset Fee—$0.0006 per point (so approximately $0.60 per 1,000 points), capped at $99.

    Bonus Opportunities

    Occasionally, AmEx offers a 25% transfer bonus to JetBlue, improving the ratio to 250:250. This rare offer (last seen in late 2024) boosts value significantly when you're topping off for a redemption.

     


     

    JetBlue Point Redemption Tips

    To book using TrueBlue points:

    1. Log in to your TrueBlue account on JetBlue’s site or app.
    2. Search flights and toggle “Use TrueBlue points.”
    3. Pricing adjusts dynamically—expected value is around 1.24¢ per point.

    Mint awards often offer the best value, especially on transcontinental or transatlantic routes where cash fares are high. Partner redemptions (e.g., on Qatar Airways) can yield exceptional value with strategic transfers.
