I dropped $7K to complete a JetBlue contest to win status and points

Steve Carroll and his son are pursuing JetBlue's 25 for 25 challenge to earn Mosaic status for 25 years by visiting 25 unique cities.
The program offers 350,000 points and Mosaic status for 25 years upon completion.
Participants plan weekend-heavy itineraries with multiple flights and tight layovers to maximize city count.
The challenge has fostered a supportive, non-official community among participants via a dedicated Facebook group.
JetBlue's partnership with United allows reciprocal benefits for participants near Newark and other hubs.
The father-son team has already logged many flights, with a plan to finish by December 8 in Fort Myers.
Cases of delays and weather disruptions have affected some legs, but the group remains mostly on track.
Participants track routes with a master airport list to hopscotch across the U.S. efficiently.
Affiliates note the personal rewards and the potential for college-age uplift using points with brands like Hyatt via Chase.
The piece highlights the camaraderie and personal stories from the travel community.
