Barclays Renews Long-Standing Partnership with Hawaiian Airlines
Partners since 2013, Hawaiian Airlines® and Barclays US Consumer Bank will continue their consumer and small business credit card programs in a multi-year agreement.
WILMINGTON, Del. 26 July 2024: Barclays US Consumer Bank, a leading credit card issuer and financial services partner, announced today the renewal of its decade-long co-branded credit card program with Hawai‘i’s largest and longest-serving airline, Hawaiian Airlines.
Under the newly signed agreement, Barclays will continue to issue the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard® for consumers; and the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Business Mastercard®, for small businesses.
“The contract extension with Hawaiian Airlines builds upon the strong history and collaborative nature of our partnership dating back to 2013 and will ensure the program is well positioned for continued growth,” said Denny Nealon, CEO, Barclays US Consumer Bank. “Barclays has a proven track record of winning and growing partnerships—and our long-standing relationship with this incredible airline supports Barclays’ ambition to be a partner of choice for America’s best brands.”
“Our extended partnership with Barclays ensures our cardholders will continue to enjoy exceptional benefits and superior value when earning HawaiianMiles and traveling to, from or within Hawai‘i,” said Avi Mannis, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Hawaiian Airlines.
The Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard is one of the fastest ways to earn HawaiianMiles that never expire. Primary cardmembers receive two free checked bags on eligible flights, a $100 annual companion discount and benefit from Hawaiian’s 3/2/1 earn rate (3x on Hawaiian Airlines Purchases, 2x on Gas/Dining/Grocery, and 1x on all other). Hawaiian Airlines is currently awarding new cardmembers 70,000 bonus HawaiianMiles after qualifying purchases.
Hawaiian Airlines has also partnered with a variety of companies to give cardmembers even more ways to earn miles every day through their Buy and Fly program. HawaiianMiles Buy and Fly is a collection of local and national shops and restaurants that offer bonus HawaiianMiles for purchases made with the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard. Each Hawaiian Airlines card comes with contactless technology featuring a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic, building on the airline’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
