The Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard is featuring a new offer for 60,000 miles after $2K spend in the first 90 days that also has the annual fee waived for the first year. While Hawaiian miles are of dubious value relatively speaking, this is a decent offer for those who know the program and are confident they can make good use of the miles.

Quick Thoughts
Again, Hawaiian Miles are generally tough to use. I haven’t looked to see if they have greater availability these days because of reduced travel, but in the past it was nearly impossible to find saver business class award space (at one point I searched for an entire year and didn’t find a single saver seat up front from New York to Honolulu). They do fly some international routes like Hawaii to Tahiti where the miles could be of decent value if not the lowest-mileage deals. I flew that Hawaii-to-Tahiti route in 2019 and I thought the business class was perfectly nice and comfortable. Some may not like the general lack of privacy of the business class seats (see my picture above), but I found the airy layout less claustrophobic than some premium cabins.

I clicked they said no fee offer is over.
They go to more airports then SW too as I have been to 5..
Can they still be transferred to Hilton points?
What’s interesting is Hawaiian’s business award flights are the same cost across the board to all of Hawaiian’s international destinations, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand. This is also generally true when you book with partners (excluding JAL and Korean) Although its way better to use Hawaiian miles on their own metal for the best price albeit dynamic pricing for saver awards.
Don’t even bother with Hawaiian miles. They are worse than Delta miles.
Thanks, Nick. I feel bad that it’s not an affiliate link but I just signed up for the card, blemishes and all. I have my reasons.
Don’t worry. Even with less demand, there’s not a single saver level business class ticket JFK HNL or vice versa.
