It didn't work. It's been about 20 days since the purchase with no credit, so I think it's unlikely at this point that anything is going to post. The purchase was coded as "HAWAIIAN GIFTS HAWAIHONOLULU HI" rather than to Hawaiian Airlines directly, so it doesn't look like gift cards count towards the credit.
My guess though is that airfare purchased directly with the airline still might count. I've seen reports on this thread that people were credited with inter-island flight purchases, I wouldn't be surprised if that worked on other routes as well.
Anyway, I'm glad I did this little experiment and was able to add this data point regardless. And now I also have a $200 excuse to go to Hawaii.

I need to use up my 2015 $100 credit for PRG. Sounds like HA HC works (for some people at least). Is HA GC linked to my HA FF account or just a separate e-mail/physical gift card?
I'd like to use the HA GC to pay for bag fess on a future trip, is that possible? When do HA GC value expire?

What can't I use my Gift Certificate or Gift Card for?

Like others, mine came up as HAWAIIAN GIFTS.
Worked!

The reimbursement for a $100 GC hit my PRG, but the 2 x $100 GCs didn't hit my Plat. Any thoughts? I switched to HA for this year for a specific trip and I've now paid for the flight with the GCs and the difference.
The only thing I didn't do was buy the 2 x $100 GCs on my plat on separate transactions.
Is the rule generally not to call Amex about this?

Just want to add my experience since there's barely any post on Hawaiian Airlines!
Amex PRG
Hawaiian Airlines 50$ gift card
Posted as "Hawaiian Gifts"
Classified as " Merchandise & Supplies - Internet Purchase"
12/08 Posted
12/10 Reimbursed
And if this helps anyone, I purchased United registry,then called Amex to change my airline to HA before getting reimbursed for United since I thought it doesn't seem to work and I prefer Hawaiian. Ended up getting reimbursed for the United registry too.

Figured I'd add to this as well.
Amex Personal Platinum
12/9/16 - purchased 2 one way tickets, $138, posted as 2 x $69
12/12 - purchased $50 gift card (HAWAIIAN GIFTS, Category: Merchandise & Supplies - Internet Purchase)
12/15 - amex $50 reimbursement shows to have posted 12/14, just showed up
Guessing the $69 won't get credited, if I click on the item in my AMEX account it shows the exact flight information including passenger and info.
