Overview

  • Existing Mileage Plan members are already migrated to Atmos Rewards, while HawaiianMiles accounts and balances convert on October 1, 2025.
  • Starting in 2026, members will choose how to earn points and status: one point per mile flown, five points per $1 spent, or 500 points per segment, with the selection changeable once a year.
  • Four elite tiers culminate in Titanium, which adds complimentary day‑of‑departure upgrades to global business class for the member and a companion.
  • Bank of America’s new Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite carries a $395 fee, launches with a 100,000‑point bonus after $6,000 in 90 days, grants 1 status point per $2 in spend plus 10,000 annual status points, and offers Global Companion Awards (25,000 points each year and 100,000 points after $60,000 in annual spend).
  • Redemption pricing remains unchanged for now, upgrades expand in 2026, and Hawaiian is slated to enter oneworld in 2026, broadening partner access for Atmos members.
