The end of an era is near. Starting June 30, 2025, American Express will officially end the ability to transfer Membership Rewards points to Hawaiian Airlines. This marks a significant change in the points and miles landscape, especially with the Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines merger, expected in August 2025.
While this move has been rumored for months, it’s now confirmed by Amex on their Membership Rewards transfer page. Thankfully, travelers still have some time to act. If you’re planning to move points from Amex to Hawaiian—and eventually to Alaska Airlines—it’s wise to make your decision soon.
The good news? According to the DOT merger agreement, we’re hopeful there won’t be any immediate devaluation of points. But as always, it’s best to use your points while they still hold strong value.
Key Takeaways:
- Last day to transfer Amex points to Hawaiian: June 30, 2025
