Yes. They post approximately weekly, and I've had weeks with just 1 mile earned and that posted.

According to Awardwallet there was an update between 10/30 and 11/7 which is strange since the number is the same as the one after the last posting on 10/26.
I where also forced to change my password and Awardwallet has currently issue with Hawaiian...

Yes, Hawaiian's website says that after November 20 you will have to re-install a new Hawaiian plug in, and the new plug in will not allow you to earn miles for searches. It also says,
"The new Plugin will allow you to earn miles for qualified purchases only. You will not be able to earn miles for searches on either version of the Plugin after November 17, 2015."

Mike is correct that no longer get miles for searches. No longer get Hawaiian Miles for searches after November 17th. Do still get miles for qualified purchases but need to remove old MilesFinder and install new one.

For me the new toolbar is not quite ready for prime time. Uninstalled from Firefox, could not log in to Hawaiian Airlines account. Changed my password and I can log in using Chrome but not Firefox. Downloaded and installed the Chrome version of the toolbar but can't search anything other that merchants and deals. No luck with Firefox.
What kind of experiences are the rest of you having?

Very sleazy if they actually killed it as of 11/17, as stated, since they were allowing searches and racking up miles - which it sounds like they may or may not give - for a couple days after that.
We (Mrs FTF and I) have been working at this diligently and both have >26K miles so this is a big bummer. Don't know whether there's any point in staying around but maybe if can get 1-way reward could be worth staying, versus pulling the ripcord and taking the lousy ratio for an exchange.
Something to think about since we weren't planning on going to Hawaii for a couple years and don't want the miles to disappear through inactivity. It's not an airline I can fly except on vacation, and yes I'm sure I can make some purchases on it but I've got other fish to fry. I'll let the last miles flow into the account for a couple weeks and think about it.
Big disappointment. No warning Typical experience these days, though the possible retroactive screw-over according to their own notice kind of takes it to a new level.

I was planning on saving more HA miles, but now I'll probably use them on JetBlue (I'm in the Northeast). According to the HA website, 10,000 HA miles is worth $99 on Jetblue travel. Obviously, this is terrible value when compared to 20,000 HA miles for JFK-HNL (and recently it was 17,500), but the miles only have value if you use them. 10,000 points should get me to Florida on JetBlue. While not as exciting Hawaii, I'm still excited to take a free flight somewhere warm this winter.
