Getting Hawaiian Air credit card to combine miles with Alaskan credit card?

[sun starved Gayle]

I read on another board that you can now transfer your Hawaiian air miles to your Alaska mileage account. Hawaiian has a very good offer of 70,000 miles if you charge $3,000 within the first two months of having the card. Anyone else done this?

I just took a peek at my Hawaiian airlines account and didn't see any option to transfer miles into my Alaska account. If someone finds out, I would love to know.

I have not done this, but do know that its possible. Now that Alaska has purchased Hawaiian Airlines, they will be combining the two milage programs into a single combined program. They will also be cutting back to just a single credit card card. Presumably the Hawaiian airlines card will convert to the Alaska card, but they have not clarified exactly how that will work.

There are instructions and a link to convert your miles on this page:

Does anyone know if Hawaiian and Jet Blue will continue the relationship they have? Right now I can use Jet Blue points to book Hawaiian flights.

I just did a transfer yesterday. I only had 165 miles in my Hawai’i account and transferred 150 instantly.

I had my wife apply for the Barclays Hawaiian card with the 70,000 bonus. We will transfer as soon as it posts.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong -- but the link isn't showing me how to combine miles.

Scroll all the way to the very last item at the bottom.

I have not heard anything specific about this, but might have missed that since I have not used Jet Blue Points.

If Jet Blue has an existing agreement with Alaska, then its probably safe. If not, then this option may disappear once they integrate the two programs.

So far they have announced the Hawaiian card from Barclays will go away. You won't be able to move miles from one person to another for free like current Hawaiian card holders can. Also they will be removing the options for transfers from bank points currency, i.e. the current option to transfer Amex points to HA miles.

I found it !
But when I clicked -- got a message that I'm blocked.
It took me to "storefront.points" --
Is that correct site?

I saw something, but it was AI generated so don't know if I trust it, saying when the merger is complete that there will be no association between Hawaiian and Jet Blue. I was hoping to use my points to get my daughter to Maui, but so far she hasn't committed on the dates she can go.

That is where it took me too. It looks like you log in to both websites and choose which way you want to transfer - Hawaiian to Alaska, or Alaska to Hawaiian. I haven't done it yet though. Let us know if it works.

Well if she decides before they fully integrates you may still be able to use Jet Blue, but they do seem to be moving very quickly with the integration after the merger. Some companies take years to integrate.. But so far Alaska and Hawaiian say they will finish in 2025..

I must be doing something wrong.
Haven't gotten it done yet.

I was logged into both of my alaskan and Hawaiian accounts. Then I clicked on the link and it asked if I wanted to transfer from Hawaiaan to Alaska or the reverse. When the linked opened, it saw the open accounts because I didn't have to log in again
