1. login your AMEX acount and go to membership reward points, explore rewards, earn and redeem, pick Hawaii airlines.
2. if you don't have a hawaii airline account, actually I think most people do not, you can open one, after you verify email and login, go back to AMEX enter your Hawaii airline acount info and link it, do a test run maybe 1000 points just to test the link, the points should transfer instantly.
4. do a test run, if all good then transfer more, just remember AMEX charges a fee for transferring to any US airlines but cap at $99.
I just did another 300k points and flawlessly.
AMEX MR points itself if you cash out its .6cents, if you have a Schwab plat, you can get it cash out at 1.1cents, but the true value of either AMEX or Chase points are transferring the points to airline miles and use the miles to book biz class flights.
Alaska bought Hawaii airline, and Alaska offering to merge
Alaska bought Hawaii airline, and they plan to merge the 2 royalty programs, when Alaska came out and said the transfer rate would be 1:1, everyone was surprised, the reason being Hawaii airline miles used only valued at 0.5 cents/mile, while Alaska air miles are valued at 2.2-2.5 cents/mile.
thus created a perfect opportunity for people hoarding Alaska miles...

today actually a decent day for me, 基本上每年银行都会约lunch一次， 就是问一问operations 如何， 明年有啥展望， 有没有借钱的需求。
这个借钱嘛， 当然是越多越好， so we ask to increase the commerical line another half mil.
下个星期就出门， 火鸡国过火鸡节。
