There’s been a major development in the merger of Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines<\/a>, as the two carriers just launched the ability to transfer miles between their respective loyalty programs. While post-merger plans call for a single, combined loyalty program<\/a>, this is an important first step \u2014 and opens up a lucrative new avenue for those with American Express Membership Rewards points<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s because Amex points transfer to Hawaiian miles at a 1:1 ratio (though they are subject to a federal excise tax offset fee of 120 points or 60 cents per 1,000 points transferred). Thus, you can now transfer Amex points to Hawaiian and then transfer them to Alaska miles, one of the most valuable airline currencies<\/a> out there.<\/p>\n
