3. HawaiianMiles Elite Status Bonus Miles

Start with a HawaiianMiles membership, which is open to everyone. You’ll move to Pualani Gold with 30 segments or 20,000 flight miles, and Pualani Platinum with 60 segments or 40,000 flight miles.

Due to COVID-19, current Pualani Elite members will have their statuses extended through February 2022. Additionally, requirements for achieving 2022 Pualani Gold or Platinum status have been reduced by 50%.

The updated qualifications for 2022 are:

Elite Status	Segments	Miles
Pualani Gold	15 Segments	10,000 Miles
Pualani Platinum	30 Segments	20,000 Miles

Elite status comes with many great perks. For instance, Pualani Gold members get a 50% bonus on frequent flyer miles when traveling on a revenue ticket, and Pualani Platinum members get a 100% bonus!

HawaiianMiles also offers a paid membership program called Premier Club. For $299 or 40,000 HawaiianMiles, members get many of the same benefits as Pualani Gold and Pualani Platinum members. Unfortunately, bonus miles are not one of the perks.

Bilt Rewards is a niche program aimed at those who pay monthly rent. You can earn Bilt points and transfer them to Hawaiian Airlines at a 1:1 ratio with a minimum of 2,000 points transferred. The Bilt World Elite Mastercard® Credit Card allows you to earn Bilt points on rent, however, it doesn’t come with a welcome bonus and it has a minimum transaction requirement, so it won’t be for everyone.
