Combining miles
New Guy on the block to HA 
Anyone know the rules on combining friends and family miles into one HA account? I read about on my Hawaiian Visa newsletter
Pretty vague.Also said MAY be subject to fees
Tried to do a search but nothing came up for me
Thanks all

IF you have the HA Visa card, then anyone with HA miles can "pool miles" by transferring their miles to your account. There is a 10x per year limit on the number of transfer-ins.
But you can't "combine" points from friends'/family members' accounts, only via the "pool miles" option, above.
Aloha Airlines has an "Ohana Plan" where you can pull from various family member accounts to get award travel issued. Note, though, that you have to apply in writing and have signatures of all the family members and that AQ does nothing very quickly

No charge? I assume one calls HA to make the transfer to the members account?
Thanks again

Thats nice that one can do it online.It will take some time I suppose till I learn the program better.Pretty unique options.I would like to see more programs do this in the future.
Thanks for the follow-up info ^
