Overview

  • Atmos Rewards went live on August 20, replacing Mileage Plan and HawaiianMiles; Alaska members were auto‑migrated, and HawaiianMiles balances are set to convert on October 1 with new numbers for those not previously linked.
  • Starting in 2026, members will choose how to earn status using set formulas: one point per mile flown, five points per dollar spent on paid flights, or 500 points per segment, with the preference changeable once a year.
  • Bank of America’s new $395 Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite launches with a limited‑time 100,000‑point bonus after $6,000 in 90 days and earns 3x points on foreign purchases, dining, and Alaska/Hawaiian, plus perks like eight lounge day passes, a $50 instant delay credit, a free checked bag, and priority boarding.
  • The Summit card adds Global Companion Awards—a 25,000‑point certificate at qualification and each anniversary, plus a 100,000‑point award after $60,000 in annual spend—and accelerates status with one status point per $2 in purchases and 10,000 bonus status points each anniversary; eligible holders can also transfer points 1:1 to Marriott Bonvoy subject to stated minimums and limits.
  • Rebranded Atmos Ascent consumer and Atmos Business cards debut with limited‑time 80,000‑point welcome offers and companion‑fare features, while the airlines say Hawaiian will join the oneworld alliance in 2026 to expand partner access for Atmos members.
