Barclays & Hawaiian have announced a renewal of their cobranded partnership and Barclays will continue to issue the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard and the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Business Mastercard. It’s unclear how long the extension is for, but Barclays & Hawaiian have been partners since 2013.

Aren’t they merging with someone? Alaska?
Barclays is already familiar with a two-issuer setup after the USair/AA merger. Might we see something similar? Among issues I see are Alaska currently issuing Visa while the Hawaiian card is MC.
Not an issue. Barclays issues their AAmerican AAirlines AAviator line of cards (all MasterCards), while Citi issues their line of American Airlines cards (all Visas – I have several of them). It has never been an issue before with American Airlines, I assume it won’t be an issue going forward with Alaska/Hawaiian. That said, I am hoping that the Hawaiian program is simply folded into the Alaska program.
Citi AA cards are mastercards not visas, at least the one I have.
Oops, brain fart on my part – you are of course correct, I stand corrected. All my Citi-issued cards are MCs these days. Ages ago, I had a Citi-branded Visa and even a City-branded Amex. Those days are over. I’m still not worried about this issue, once the programs merge it’ll be sorted out. Until then, make hay while the sun shines.
My citi aa are all mastercard
After merger, AS will let this sunset. They have been married to BOA forever.
Everything is negotiable, and no one here knows what AS’s and HA’s contracts with their banks say about the impact of acquisitions.
Citi used to issue AA cards as MC, Visa, and Amex (yes!). But now they only issue Mastercards. I don’t know if they replaced the old Visa and Amex cards – I canceled mine a long time ago.
*slow clap*
