Our Verdict
This offer comes and goes, it was last available up until December of last year. I’m not a massive fan of Hawaiian miles and I also don’t love how the annual fee isn’t waived the first year, but still 50,000 miles for only $1,000 spend is a pretty compelling offer for a lot of people. You can get flights for 35,000 miles round trip with the card from mainland USA to Hawaii, but there isn’t a lot of space available. Another good use of the miles is for inter island flights in Hawaii, they come out at 7,500 miles per one way trip.
You can also transfer the miles to Hilton at a rate of 1:1.5, but I don’t find Hilton points to be particularly useful so I wouldn’t recommend that. Before applying I’d recommend reading these 24 things you should know about Barclaycard credit cards, it should also answer any common questions you might have.
Feel free to share what you think the best use of Hawaiian miles is in the comments below and whether you think this is a good deal or not.
