Key Benefits

All Benefits

• Product status update: with the Alaska Airlines plus Hawaiian Airlines merger complete and HawaiianMiles fully transitioned into the unified Atmos Rewards loyalty program, Barclays no longer publicly markets new applications for the legacy Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard; the prior cards.barclaycardus.com/banking/cards/hawaiian-airlines-world-elite-mastercard/ product URL now returns HTTP 404 and the hawaiianmastercard.com marketing apply domain redirects away from a live application, with new Hawaiian-flying customers steered to the Bank of America issued Atmos Rewards Ascent Visa Signature (formerly Alaska Atmos Ascent) and Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite cards (per direct curl of cards.barclaycardus.com Hawaiian Airlines product URL returning 404 and curl of hawaiianmastercard.com returning a 302 redirect on 2026-05-23, and per Atmos Rewards rebrand documented in TPG Atmos Rewards guide)
• Legacy welcome offer (existing applications, no longer publicly advertised on a live Barclays apply page): 70,000 bonus HawaiianMiles (now Atmos Rewards points at a 1:1 conversion under the program rebrand) plus a $99 Companion Discount on a roundtrip coach companion ticket after spending $2,000 on purchases in the first 90 days from account opening (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page archived ahead of the Atmos Rewards transition)
• Legacy $99 annual fee, not waived in the first year (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page)

• Legacy 50% off Companion Discount: each account anniversary, cardholders received a Companion Discount certificate good for 50% off the base fare of one coach roundtrip companion ticket on Hawaiian Airlines (the companion still owed all taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges; per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page)
• Legacy free first checked bag: when the primary cardholder paid for a Hawaiian Airlines operated flight with the card, the cardholder plus up to one additional guest on the same reservation received a free first checked bag, saving up to $30 per person each way on most Hawaiian Airlines routes (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page)
• Legacy 10% discount: 10% off one Hawaiian Airlines coach ticket purchased online at HawaiianAirlines.com each year using a unique discount code emailed to the cardholder annually (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page)
• Legacy single mileage bonus: existing HawaiianMiles members received a one-time 5,000 mile bonus the first time they used the card to charge any purchase to their HawaiianMiles account at signup (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page)
• Legacy Mastercard World Elite network designation: the card carried Mastercard World Elite branding, providing access to the Mastercard World Elite suite of issuer-optional benefits including the Priceless Cities program, World Elite Mastercard concierge support, and Mastercard Travel and Lifestyle Services (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page and Mastercard World Elite network reference)
• Legacy Mastercard ID Theft Protection: included as a World Elite Mastercard network benefit at the issuer's election (per Mastercard World Elite network reference)
• Legacy Mastercard cellular telephone protection: World Elite Mastercard issuer-optional benefit providing reimbursement for damage or theft of a cell phone when the monthly cell phone bill was paid with the card, subject to deductible and per-claim and annual maximums (per Mastercard World Elite network reference; coverage applied only when Barclays elected to include this benefit on the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard, which Barclays did not consistently advertise)
• Legacy auto rental collision damage waiver: secondary coverage in the cardholder's country of residence and primary coverage when traveling abroad, as the Mastercard World Elite network baseline (per Mastercard World Elite network reference)
• Legacy Mastercard Travel and Emergency Assistance Services: 24/7 hotline for medical, legal, and travel assistance referrals as a World Elite Mastercard network benefit (cardholder paid for actual goods and services obtained; per Mastercard World Elite network reference)
• Legacy foreign transaction fees: no foreign transaction fees on purchases made outside the United States (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page)
• Atmos Rewards transition for existing cardholders: all unredeemed HawaiianMiles balances and ongoing card earnings convert at 1:1 into Atmos Rewards points under the unified Alaska + Hawaiian loyalty program, which gives existing Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard holders access to the full Oneworld partner award chart and Atmos Rewards short-haul economy awards starting at 4,500 points one-way for flights up to 700 miles (per TPG Atmos Rewards program guide)
• Trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance: Not offered as an advertised cardholder benefit on the legacy Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard (Barclays did not list trip cancellation or trip interruption insurance on the legacy product page; the Mastercard World Elite network does not require this benefit and Barclays did not elect to add it on this co-brand)
• Baggage delay and lost luggage insurance: Not offered as an advertised cardholder benefit on the legacy Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard (Barclays did not list baggage delay reimbursement or lost luggage reimbursement on the legacy product page beyond the free first checked bag benefit for cardholder plus one guest)
• Priority Pass or stand-alone airport lounge membership: Not offered on the legacy Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard (the card did not include Priority Pass Select membership, day passes, or Plumeria Lounge access; Hawaiian Airlines Plumeria Lounge access required a separate paid membership or premium-cabin paid ticket)
• Global Entry / TSA PreCheck / NEXUS application fee credit: Not offered on the legacy Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard (Barclays did not list a Global Entry / PreCheck / NEXUS statement credit on the legacy product page; this benefit was reserved for higher-tier travel cards)
• Complimentary HawaiianMiles or Pualani elite status: Not offered on the legacy Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard (the card did not confer any complimentary elite status; status had to be earned through flying or via co-brand Pualani Gold spend thresholds that Hawaiian retired ahead of the Atmos Rewards transition)
• Anniversary points dump or fixed-spend statement credit milestone: Not offered on the legacy Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard beyond the annual 50% off Companion Discount and the annual 10% off online ticket discount code (Barclays did not advertise an anniversary mileage bonus or an annual statement credit for Hawaiian Airlines purchases on this card)
• Authorized users: available at no additional annual fee on the legacy product, with authorized users earning Atmos Rewards points (formerly HawaiianMiles) into the primary cardholder's account at the same earning multipliers (per legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard product page)
• Barclays application velocity guidance: Barclays informally enforced a 6/24 style sensitivity (declining applicants with too many recent new accounts across all issuers) and a roughly 6-month internal cooldown between Barclays card applications (per long-standing community data points; Barclays did not publish a formal 2/3/4 rule, but applicants with high recent inquiry counts were routinely declined)
• Forward-looking recommendation: prospective Hawaiian-flying applicants in 2026 should evaluate the Bank of America issued Atmos Rewards Ascent Visa Signature ($95 annual fee, 3x on Alaska and Hawaiian, $99 Companion Fare anniversary benefit at $6,000 spend, free first checked bag for cardholder plus six guests, 20% back on in-flight purchases, $100 off Alaska Lounge+ membership) or the higher-tier Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite rather than continuing to seek the legacy Barclays Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard, since Barclays has wound down public new-applicant marketing and the Atmos Rewards Ascent dominates the legacy Hawaiian co-brand on category bonuses, companion benefit, and lounge value (per TPG Atmos Rewards guide and OMAAT Atmos Rewards Ascent review)
