Hawaiian Miles can be used to book hotel stays through the Hawaiian Miles Hotel Awards portal.
Booking hotels through the portal using Cash+Miles will give you significantly more value then booking with all miles. It's a very noticeable difference.

Magazines and Newspapers
Hawaiian Miles can be redeemed for magazine through MagsForMiles. Since magazines are cheap and the amount of Hawaiian Miles required to redeem a magazines subscription starts as low as 200 miles, you can get some great value out of your Hawaiian Miles.
Hawaiian Miles can also be used for a newspaper subscription. As with magazines, this will give your miles good value. Available options will depend on your zip code.
If you have a small balance of Hawaiian Miles you're looking to get rid of or your Hawaiian Miles are due to expire, these are great options to consider.
Share Hawaiian Miles
Hawaiian Miles can be shared between members. This can be very useful for pooling points to get to award travel faster.
If you are a Hawaiian Airlines cardholder, you'll be able to share Hawaiian Miles free of charge.
- No transaction fees for mileage transfers
- No charges per mile
- No minimum or maximum number of miles transferred
- 10 share transactions per calendar year
If you don't have a Hawaiian Airlines credit or debit card, it will cost you share Hawaiian Miles between members.
- $25 service fee
- $0.01 per mile transfer fee
- Minimum of 2,000 Hawaiian Miles must be transferred
Without a Hawaiian Airlines credit card, transferring a simple 2,000 Hawaiian Miles would cost you a $25 service fee plus $20 at the rate of $0.01 per mile for a total of $45. While that is quite a bit of fees, it's still cheaper than buying miles.
