Hawaiian Airline Mile Uses

You can get flights for 40,000 miles round trip with the card from mainland USA to Hawaii (35,000 with the Hawaiian credit card), but there isn’t a lot of space available. More space is available at the 25,000-30,000 one way pricing. Another good use of the miles is for inter-island flights in Hawaii; they come out at 7,500 miles per one way trip.

You can transfer Hawaiian Miles to Hilton. These miles cannot be transferred to Hilton due to this fine print:

Note: Transfers will be made immediately, however, please allow up to 48 hours for the transfer to be complete. Points transferred into HawaiianMiles accounts may not be transferred to a third party loyalty program.

Our Verdict

They offered the same transfer bonus last year. Transfer bonus history is as follows:

  • I live in Hawaii and I have Hawaiian miles because it's unavoidable. Horrible program. I think they only have three airline partners now for redemption of miles. It can't really be called a mileage program really. The max value I have been able to get out of my miles is 1.33 cents per mile and that was because I had the credit cards years ago which allowed 35k for RT flight. That was also back when airfare from/to Hawaii were higher. I think Hawaiian purposely limits the value you can get from their miles. It's quite easy to get a value of .5 - .8c per mile but the closer you get to 1c per mile, the more scarce the availability of award flights. Even inter-island, you can only redeem 7500 one way on those cheaper flights during inconvenient times (at least inconvenient for me as a local resident). The more convenient schedules usually cost 10,000 miles one way.

  • If they ever made JFK-HNL F saver award available I would do this... but they don't release it, ever.
    80k min for one way is lame.
