Incorrectomundo - the Virgin Atlantic, the BOA Hawaiian, and the Hawaiian all HAVE annual fees. BOAHA+HOAHA=HA from the left coast or interisland hopping, VA=use a partner (Aloha Bonaire! in my case). In the case of BOAHA+HOAHA, Churn and meet the straaaange caaaases as one can never have enough Hawaiian Miles and they can be transferred with no fee (think Swaparama). VA is less churnworthy - like BA you don't wanna go there (at least on their overpriced metal).

Swaparamability
As noted VA can do HA, but can't we all just get along? My VA and BoH HA and BoA HA cards all played nice together. Why use VA for HA when more optimal on CO, UA, and US? Get the BoH HA and BoA HA, stipmine the HA miles then properly dispose of the cards and move on. Ya gotta admit the BoH HA and BoA HA feed HA miles which, like Flexperks, can transfer to other parties with no fees - they definitely have Swaparamability!
Other than Hilton, I haven't found any use for Hawaiian miles. BofA gave me a credit line where I could have gotten that card but I decided not worth it. OTOH VA miles can be used on CO, UA, and US and are more valuable on Hawaiian than Hawaiian miles (6K RT inter-island vs. 15K). Plus VA will likely join *A.

Can someone please confirm for me that the 35,000 Hawaiian Airline miles earned can be converted to 70k Hilton points.
I am very interested in this, but saw someone verbiage today regarding "no transfers with 3rd party miles" and just wanted to confirm that these 35K Miles can in fact be converted to 70,000 Hilton points.
Could someone please confirm this for me?

Thanks for the link below. I had seen it.
However, if you look below, when mentioning Hilton, it mentions an exclusion regarding points recieved from a third party or something like that which is why I posed the question. Has anyone sucessfully transferred the Hawaiian Miles to Hilton Points.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I flip flop them every year. Can't say exactly the minimum time to flipflop. Do cancel them, but then I have been known to multiflipflop on occasion, as when I concurrently held more than one SWA card to help the mint protect its dollars from thieving guards.

Not anymore you can't...check the latest AMEX threads here. Some people were even promised the promos and aren't having them honored. I signed up under the impression that I'd get these bonus matches and nada.
