Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles

HawaiianMiles is the loyalty program of Hawaiian Airlines, which merged with Alaska Airlines in 2024. The program focuses on routes between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii, as well as Pacific destinations. Amex Membership Rewards transfers 1:1 to HawaiianMiles, making the Amex Gold or Platinum a useful earning vehicle. The co-branded card's 50% companion discount is among the most valuable recurring perks for Hawaii travelers.
