Hawaiian and Alaska Status Match
Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines are taking the next step toward a shared loyalty program. The airlines announced today they are offering status match between Alaska’s Mileage Plan and Hawaiian’s HawaiianMiles, in addition to the ability to redeem Mileage Plan miles on Hawaiian Airlines-operated flights, select benefits for Mileage Plan elites when flying on Hawaiian Airlines, and the ability to earn miles across both programs.
HawaiianMiles members can link their HawaiianMiles and Mileage Plan accounts together to have their status matched, allowing them to enjoy elite benefits when traveling on either airline.
| If you have: | You’ll be matched to: |
|---|---|
| Alaska Mileage Plan MVP | HawaiianMiles Pualani Gold |
| Alaska Mileage Plan MVP Gold, MVP Gold 75K, or MVP Gold 100K | HawaiianMiles Pualani Platinum |
| HawaiianMiles Pualani Gold | Alaska Mileage Plan MVP |
| HawaiianMiles Pualani Platinum | Alaska Mileage Plan MVP Gold |
And, if those guests earned elite-qualifying miles (EQMs) in both Mileage Plan and HawaiianMiles in 2024, they’ll be awarded the highest possible status based on their combined EQM balance. Even non-elite members can benefit from linking their accounts – if they have elite qualifying miles in both programs, their combined balance could qualify them to become elite.
| Combined EQMs: | Status you’ll receive in Alaska Mileage Plan: | Status you’ll receive in HawaiianMiles: |
|---|---|---|
| 20,000 EQMs | MVP | Pualani Gold |
| 40,000 EQMs | MVP Gold | Pualani Platinum |
| 75,000 EQMs | MVP Gold 75K | Pualani Platinum |
| 100,000 EQMs | MVP Gold 100K | Pualani Platinum |
If you have, or are matched to Alaska Mileage Plan MVP you also get oneworld® Ruby. And if you have or are matched Alaska Mileage Plan MVP Gold, you also get oneworld® Sapphire.
