How to Combine P1 and P2 Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines Miles into a Single Account

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. In this post, I will show you how we moved Alaska Airlines Miles into Hawaiian Airlines Miles, transferred those miles between Hawaiian Airlines accounts, and then transferred those miles to Alaska Airlines.  We wanted all of our miles to be in a single account (my Alaska Airlines account) to make award booking easier since we would book all of our award tickets from a single account.  Transfers between Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines were free and instant.  Here are the steps we did…

A few weeks ago, Laura and I transferred large chunks of American Express Membership Rewards Points into Hawaiian Airlines Miles when AMEX had a 20% transfer bonus to Hawaiian Airlines.  I transferred 417K AMEX MR Points into 500K Hawaiian Airlines Miles on August 29.

My Experience Matching Alaska Airlines MVP Elite Status to JetBlue Mosaic 1 Elite Status

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  A few days ago, I read Frequent Miler’s post JetBlue launches status match for AA, Alaska, Delta and United elites and decided to go through the status matching process.  Before you do your own status match, read Frequent Miler’s post to learn about the benefits and requirements to keep the status for longer than 3 months.  Here is my experience matching from Alaska Airlines MVP elite status to JetBlue Mosaic 1 elite status (that is the only airline elite status I currently have).  I went to the Match to Mosaic page and clicked on the Apply Now button.
