Transferring Rewards To and From Hawaiian Airlines

Quick Overview
- Hawaiian Airlines is a direct 1:1 transfer partner of one major credit card rewards program: American Express Membership Rewards.
- Marriott Bonvoy (3:1) and World of Hyatt (5:2) points can also transfer to HawaiianMiles, offering alternative ways to boost your balance.
- With the Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines merger, miles can be temporarily transferred between both programs at a 1:1 rate.
- This flexibility makes Hawaiian Airlines a key transfer partner, allowing indirect point transfers from AMEX Membership Rewards to Alaska Airlines and Bilt Rewards points to Hawaiian.

Hawaiian Airlines transfer partners
HawaiianMiles is a direct transfer partner of several programs including one major U.S. credit card rewards program: American Express Membership Rewards. You can also transfer rewards from a select few other programs to your Hawaiian Miles account.
Here's the list of HawaiianMiles transfer partners:
AMEX points to Hawaiian miles
American Express Membership Rewards points can be converted into Hawaiian miles at a 1:1 ratio. Every 1,000 AMEX points you transfer will give you 1,000 Hawaiian miles.
American Express is going to be your best option for easily earning Hawaiian miles. Membership Rewards credit cards offers features fantastic earning rates and high intro bonuses that can instantly net you tens of thousands of Hawaiian miles.
Transferring Hawaiian miles to partners
Due to the Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines merger, HawaiianMiles members can convert HawaiianMiles into Alaska miles at a 1:1 rate, and Alaska MileagePlan members can convert Alaska miles into HawaiianMiles at a 1:1 rate.
This is a big benefit as it temporarily allows Membership Rewards points to be indirectly transferred to Alaska Airlines and Bilt Rewards points to be indirectly transferred to HawaiianMiles. I want to stress that this is temporary until the merger is complete or Alaska Airlines puts a stop to it. So if you're in need of transferring rewards between these programs, best to do it as soon as possible.
