The other Barclays cards: Hawaiian vs Lufthansa
Aside from the US Airways and Arrival cards that everyone talks about, Barclays offers several other airline cards, notably Lufthansa and Hawaiian. Any pros/cons between the two? Which one of those do people recommend?

The Hawaiian card is brand new - they just recently sent it to all BofA Hawaiian card holders, so not much to tell yet. I do like that it's chip and PIN and has no foreign transaction fee.

It all depends on your personal need for the miles. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. If you are looking for west coast US to HI then HI card is great. LH has some decent uses as well, but most int. routes are going to have fuel surcharges. Research each program and compare them to your upcoming travel needs.
