INSIGHT

Structure And Timing Of 25 for 25 Rewards

  • JetBlue's 25 for 25 awards 150k points at 15 airports, 200k at 20, and Mosaic 1 plus cumulative 350k points at 25 airports.
  • Points post later in the year, so you cannot rely on them immediately to fund further flights.
ADVICE

Don't Use Blue Basic Fares

  • Avoid booking Blue Basic fares because they don't qualify for the promotion.
  • Use partner bookings and ensure your TrueBlue number is added to count the flight toward the challenge.
ADVICE

Book Through Partner Miles

  • Use partner award currencies (Qatar, JAL, Etihad) to book JetBlue and still get challenge credit.
  • Call reservations or social to add your TrueBlue number if booking via partner program.
