Mint domestic now gets BlueHouse free — Mosaic 4 still the guest play.

JetBlue is flipping its lounge policy: Mint on domestic routes now gets complimentary BlueHouse access, matching international Mint. BlueFirst won't be included, so the forthcoming domestic first-class product won't get you in. For status holders, Mosaic 4 is the play — free access plus one guest, while Mosaic 3 pays $59 and Mosaic 1/2 pay $79. The expanded access starts with the Boston lounge opening Aug. 27.

the play

If you fly Mint domestically, route through Boston after Aug. 27 to use the new BlueHouse, and target Mosaic 4 if you want the free guest.

Get one play like this every day.

BlueHouse Boston: Mosaic 4 and Mint fly free, lower tiers pay the toll.

The new 12,000 sq ft BlueHouse in Terminal C opens August 27, offering a premium experience with a bar, game room, candy closet, and library workspace. Only Mosaic 4, JetBlue Premier cardmembers, and Mint/Mint Flex passengers get complimentary access. Mosaic 1-3 can buy a day pass. No other lounges planned yet, making this a key benefit for top-tier status holders at BOS.

the play

Secure Mosaic 4 or a Mint fare to enter Boston's BlueHouse lounge without a day-pass fee starting August 27.

Platinum for $15: Marriott’s Didi loophole cuts 25-night challenge to 8.

Marriott's Didi V8 pilot in China gives 180 days of Platinum for about $15 via resale, no name match required. Stack it with a Meituan new-account offer and the 25-night retention drops to eight. The combined play: immediate Platinum status plus a shorter path to keep it for a year. A single breakfast for two could cover the buy-in.

the play

Buy the Didi V8 Platinum listing for ~$15, then create a new Bonvoy account through Meituan to activate its eight-night challenge, stacking both for six months of status with only eight nights needed to extend.
