Should you buy miles with this offer? Let’s take a look at the details.

There are a few things you should know about this sale:

• You must purchase miles in increments of 1,000.
• There’s no bonus for purchases of 1,000 or 2,000 miles.

This sale offers a tiered bonus, depending on how many miles you buy:

• Buy 1,000 to 2,000 miles: No bonus
• Buy 3,000 to 5,000 miles: 40% bonus
• Buy 6,000 to 50,000 miles: 50% bonus (1.69 cents per mile)

Normally, Hawaiian Airlines sells miles at $25 for 1,000 miles. That’s a price of 2.5 cents per mile. Thus, the current sale offers nearly a 33% discount.

Is It Worth It?

We value HawaiianMiles at 0.9 cents apiece. Buying miles at nearly double that price (1.69 cents each) doesn’t make sense in most situations.

However, there are 2 situations where buying HawaiianMiles can be a good move. The first is topping off your HawaiianMiles account if you’re just a few miles short of what you need for a redemption.

The second situation is when you can buy miles for less than the cost of buying a flight with cash. Got your eye on a flight that costs $1,000 but you can buy the miles for $850? That would make sense (assuming you’ve confirmed that award seats are available before pulling out your wallet).

However, you may not need to buy miles. There are other options.

You can earn HawaiianMiles in numerous ways, including spending on the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite card and the Hawaiian Airlines^® Business Mastercard^®. Additionally, you can transfer Marriott Bonvoy and American Express Membership Rewards points to HawaiianMiles. In fact, there’s a 20% transfer bonus from Amex to Hawaiian Airlines available until August 31, 2024.

And what about the pending merger between Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines? If you’re curious about HawaiianMiles potentially becoming Alaska Airlines miles, that may happen. However, the exact ratio for that conversion remains unknown. It’s a gamble if you’re assuming the miles will convert at 1:1.

Final Thoughts

Through September 13, you can buy Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles with up to a 50% bonus. For many people, this sale won’t make sense, but if you’re redeeming miles at a higher value than what you paid, then buying miles can make sense.
