The Hawaiian Airlines® Bank of Hawaii World Elite Mastercard® rarely makes anyone's list of the best airline credit cards. But that doesn't mean the card is a slouch.
It comes with a combination of useful benefits that you won't find on nearly any other credit card. If you fly Hawaiian Airlines even once per year, this card could make plenty of sense.
First, the card comes with 60,000 bonus HawaiianMiles after spending $2,000 on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening. Along with that, you'll also receive a single-use companion discount of 50% off a round-trip coach flight between North America and Hawaii.
The ongoing benefits are the reason a casual Hawaiian Airlines flyer will pay the $99 annual fee each year. You'll get two free checked bags when you use the card to purchase your airfare (potentially $140 in savings per round-trip) — and you'll also get an annual $100 companion discount. It even provides discounts of up to 25% on award flights.
Hawaiian Airlines doesn't have a lengthy list of airline partners for which you can redeem your miles. If you almost never fly with Hawaiian Airlines, you should look into a credit card co-branded by another airline with a healthier list of partners, such as the Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite Mastercard® . You can redeem American Airlines miles to book flights on many more airlines (including Hawaiian) than Hawaiian Airlines miles allow.
