I dropped $7K to complete a JetBlue contest to win status and points
"Breakfast in Massachusetts, lunch in DC, dinner in Orlando, and back home by midnight. That was one of the epic days that my 10-year-old son and I recently flew - all for JetBlue Airways' "25 for 25" challenge. It's been thrilling to plan and execute these trips, with layovers so tight we sometimes barely had time for a bathroom break. Finding a flourishing community chasing this challenge has been one of the best parts."
"The promotion, created for JetBlue's 25th anniversary, is simple: Fly to 25 unique cities in the airline's network between June 25 and December 31, and you'll earn Mosaic 1 status for 25 years plus a lump sum of 350,000 points. There are some rules: You must connect your loyalty number to each flight; basic fares don't qualify; flights must be operated by JetBlue (not its partners, such as Cape Air); and only arrival airports count."
"Plus, Mosaic status until age 35 means he and his friends could enjoy the perks - like free bags, complimentary drinks, dedicated security and check-in, early boarding, and seat upgrades - on future spring break or summer trips in college. (Editor's note: You must be a Mosaic  3 member or higher to receive complimentary Mint upgrades and a Mosaic 4 for lounge access when JetBlue's open in late 2025.)"
A parent and his 10-year-old son traveled across multiple cities to complete JetBlue's '25 for 25' challenge, aiming to earn Mosaic 1 status for 25 years and 350,000 points. The challenge requires flying to 25 unique JetBlue-operated arrival airports between June 25 and December 31, linking a loyalty number to each qualifying flight, and excludes basic fares and partner-operated flights. The trips included tightly timed layovers and allowed shared experiences and community connections with other participants. The long-term benefits include waived baggage fees, complimentary drinks, priority boarding, dedicated security and check-in, potential seat upgrades, and substantial travel point value.
