There’s an increased welcome offer out for the Hawaiian Airlines Business Mastercard: 60K after $2K in purchases within the first 90 days and an additional 10K after making a purchase on an employee card.
HawaiianMiles aren’t terribly appealing in their own right, but with the coming Alaska/Hawaiian merger looking more and more likely, there’s much more interest in the Hawaiian credit cards as a means to potentially generate Alaska Miles once the loyalty programs combine.

Quick Thoughts
HawaiianMiles are getting a lot of love right now, in anticipation of a 1-1 transfer ratio to Alaska Mileage Plan if/when the merger goes through. Now that the Department of Justice has allowed it to proceed without objection, it seems like the merger is very likely.
For those who are speculatively amassing HawaiianMiles, this is an excellent offer for the business card. We see it every other year or so and the minimum spend is very reasonable given the miles on offer.
Don’t forget that the Hawaiian personal card also has a 70K welcome offer that only requires one purchase and that there is currently a 20% transfer bonus from Amex Membership Rewards to HawaiianMiles that expires at the end of the month, both potentially better opportunities than what we see here. That said, being able to earn 70K miles on $2k spend with no impact to your Chase 5/24 status will be very tempting many folks.
