Pualani Elite Status
When the frequent flyer miles start adding up, so do the Elite privileges with
our Pualani Gold and Pualani Platinum programs.
Elite-qualifying flight miles or flight segments must be earned on a revenue fare that earns HawaiianMiles when
traveling on a Hawaiian Airlines scheduled flight in a calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31).
Plus, you can now link your HawaiianMiles account to Alaska’s Mileage Plan, and as you reach new status milestones, your status will be matched or awarded across both programs. Link accountsOpens external link to page that may not meet accessibility guidelines.
Get closer to 2026 elite status with qualifying purchases on your Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard®. Earn 1 elite-qualifying-mile (EQM) for every $3 spent, up to 30,000 EQMs, through 12/31/2025.1

For every $3 the primary cardmember or authorized users spend in net purchases using their Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard with transaction dates during the promotional period (January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025), the primary cardmember will earn 1 elite-qualifying miles (EQMs), up to a total of 30,000 EQMs, toward elite membership.

Please allow 4 - 6 weeks after your statement close date for EQMs to be calculated, and elite membership activation will occur within 6 to 8 weeks.
