I'm also curious how they track transferrable miles. What happens say, if I exchange my SPG converted miles with someone's HA credit card bonus miles (unlimited sharing allowed for CC holders) ? Do I then end up with "good miles" I can transfer to HH and they end up with my untransferrable miles?
It seems like a really complicated system to keep track of.

When I last did it, I had the distinct impression that she was indeed eyeballing my account, because she made mention of the 5K HA miles that had been transferred into my account by my, coff, "brother-in-law" and she noted how nice that was for him to do for me.

HA Miles to Hhonors
I know one of the OP's stated it took just over 3 weeks. I requested mine on Jan 2nd and still nothing (just over 2 weeks) I am just wondering if maybe they all post at the end of the month or every 1st and 3rd weeks? Is there a data point out there?

I also requested mine on Jan. 2 and still nothing. The website says 10-15 business days and when I call they tell me 2-4 weeks but we are past both of those.
For the last few days they have been telling me that they sent Hilton a message and are just waiting to hear back. I called Hilton and they said they have no record of any transaction/transfer attempt or any correspondence with HA.
Frustrated.

Posting Time Frame
I got mine posted on Feb 2nd... one day less than a full month, but it took me calling Hhonors demanding they research it, then I demanded Hawaiian to research it, they gave me the standard language about two to four weeks, but I knew that my stuff wasn't going to post. Finally the posted. It seems to be more on Hiltons end rather than Hawaiian. Hawaiian sent it over to hilton two weeks after I requested it....the rest of the time was waiting for hilton to post.

Must be that they send them over in "batches"... or process them that way...

Anyone had recent experience with this? I transferred mine (including the call from Hawaiian confirming the transfer) on Feb. 29th and they haven't posted yet in my HH account.

I did this back in January and I remember the HA agent telling me it may take 4-6 weeks for the transfer to finalize. They told me I would receive a call to verify the transfer, which I did the following day. Overall I believe it did take the full 4 weeks to transfer. I wouldn't worry, you should be getting the points very soon.

kids points
I know HA points have to transferred to the same account holder at HH, but has anyone transferred points for a kid (under 18). Both mine have 5,200 and 7800. I supposed I could get them each a HH account and then transfer their HH points to mine, but it sure would be more expeditious if I could transfer them to my HH directly.
