When you join the Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles program, you are a HawaiianMiles member. Additionally, the program offers Pualani Gold Membership and Pualani Platinum Membership. Your status is determined by the number of segments or the number of miles that you have flown within a calendar year.
In normal years….
Pualani Gold Status-When you reach 30 segments or 20,000 flight miles, you achieve or retain Pualani Gold Membership
Pualani Platinum Status-When you reach 60 segments or 40,000 flight miles, you achieve or retain Pualani Platinum Membership.
Qualification for Pualani status is required each year based on miles or segments flown between January 1 through December 31 of the year prior. Members that qualify will receive full benefits for the next year.
Now because of Covid-19…
To ensure that Elite members have ample time to enjoy the benefits they’ve earned, all current Elite members will have their status extended through February 2022.
And Hawaiian Airlines understands that many members may fly less in the months to come, so elite qualifications (in both flight miles and segments) will be reduced by 50% to qualify for 2021.
So now the qualifications this year are as follows:
Pualani Gold Status-When you reach 15 segments or 10,000 flight miles, you achieve or retain Pualani Gold Membership
Pualani Platinum Status-When you reach 30 segments or 20,000 flight miles, you achieve or retain Pualani Platinum Membership.
