[NOW 50K!] Highwater mark for HA BOA card: 35K after 1K spend, ann fee not waived

Sorry, don't see a Wiki for this. Seeing 35K Hawaiian Airlines miles for 1K spend on 3 months with their personal World Elite Mastercard. $89 annual fee not waived 1st year. This seems to be a standard, unvarying offer. Don't know that I've ever seen the annual fee waived the first year. What about the 35K bonus miles after meeting spend? Are there any other offers for more bonus miles with higher spend?

AFAIK, no.

Just got AMEX Plat Biz, 75k MR for $5k spend, xfer to HA with fee of $0.0006 per point. Oh right, $450 annual fee but the credits etc. are IMHO worth it...

The personal offer is always the same since the change to Barclays. So is the business offer with no minimum spend, you can always try that.

Both my HA account (lots of use interisland) and my wife's (no recent use) were showing a 50K offer on sign in this afternoon. I don't ever remember seeing more than 35K before. I'm still not sure I trust HA's program enough to invest $89 in padding my balance, but it's a bit more tempting.

Offer is otherwise the same as always (companion discount, annual fee not waived, etc.) and says it's good through 11/30. Might be worth checking your account if you're interested in the card.

Might grab this card next, even though I don't typically fly Hawaiian anymore. $89 for 50k miles and a low minimum spend.

The offer on my account says it expires Nov 30.

Ugh I want this so bad! How tough is it to churn Barclays anyway?

There should be info on FT or internet search on churning Barcalay's cards. It is possible as I did it with the old US Air card.

I got both a HA personal and business about 10 months apart. Also, got my spouse to do the same.

Unfortunately, we are sitting on a low 6 figure balance and can't use the HA miles for the JFK - HNL legs anymore because of the sparse low tier availability they have started to implement in the last 1 year or so.

From time to time, Barclaycard (“We”) may offer bonuses or HawaiianMiles or other premiums (for example, First Use HawaiianMiles, First Use Certificates) to new Hawaiian Airlines MasterCard Cardmembers. Unless otherwise stated in the offer, these bonuses and /or Rewards are intended for persons who are not and have not previously been Hawaiian Airlines MasterCard Cardmembers. You understand and agree that, unless we otherwise state, you are no longer eligible to receive these bonuses and/or Rewards for any new Hawaiian Airlines MasterCard account you open after this Account is opened. If you receive a bonus or Reward for which you are not eligible, we may revoke the bonus or Reward, or reduce your HawaiianMiles by the amount of the bonus or Reward, or charge your Account for the fair value of the bonus or Reward, at our option.

Oops, meant to post this in this thread

My spouse just picked up this card 2 months ago and hit the $1K spend and received the 35K miles 4 days ago. We called Barclay and were told "too bad" and "no one ever calls us when the number of miles offered goes down." Pretty disappointed with Barclay on this one.

My wife and I each got the 50K offer today. I think we'll take it. Anyone have experience trying to redeem HA miles for premium cabin awards on American or Virgin America?

ETA: I just noticed the free mileage sharing option for HA miles. As I understand it, if you have the HA Mastercard, any HA account holder can transfer miles to you free of charge. That's a great feature for us churners who double our churning via wives, husbands and other loved ones.
