Has anyone linked their Hawaiian miles and Alaska miles accounts? I find info online saying you can link them, but not how to do it. Or transferred miles between accounts?

I purposely signed up for an Alaskan credit card and got a nice miles bonus when I heard there was a going to be a merger and when the merger happened I eventually was able to transfer the miles, that I ultimately used for a Hawaiian Airlines trip next April. Worked out great.

I went into my AL account and cannot find how I did it. I have a feeling because I don't have any miles to transfer maybe the option isn't there. I can see my transfer in the activity folder but not how to do it. It shows the transfer was managed points.com

I just tried it for DW's account and it said she wasn't eligible. ??? No explanation why she wasn't.

Not yet. Have minimal miles in Hawaiian. What is the benefit of linking?
You can move all the miles from one to the other. It may give you enough miles for a free ticket.

Oops! Her birth date wasn't correct on her Hawaiian Air profile. Once I corrected it, the miles transferred successfully. :)

I tried this about a month ago without success.
When I click above link -- I get error message:
"Sorry, you have been blocked."

Anyone else have this response?

I linked mine and wife’s. I had her open a Hawaiian card and I met the minimum spend by buying HA miles during the 2 for 1 special which netted 160,000 Hawaiian Miles in my account and 70,000 in her account. I then transferred all those miles to Alaska.

I‘m Alaska MVP Gold and she’s MVP. I did the status match and I’m now Poonani Platinum and she is Gold.

Last I read the Alaska and Hawaiian systems will not be linked together until 2026. With Hawaiian you can still transfer miles for free to others with Hawaiian accounts as long as you have the Hawaiian Mastercard.
