Planning ahead for your Atmos Rewards points

While Alaska Air Group (Alaska Airlines / Hawaiian Airlines) does allow post-death transfer of points, lifetime planning gives the account holder more control over how points are shared and used.

Atmos Rewards allows members to transfer points to other program members during their lifetime. Fees may apply, but this is a direct way to move points to family members while you are alive.

How to protect your Atmos Rewards points

6 lifetime planning steps for your Atmos Rewards points:

Family sharing

Atmos Rewards points can be transferred to another member's account for $10.00 per 1,000 points plus a $25.00 processing fee per transaction. The limits are a 1,000-point minimum per transaction, a 30,000-point maximum per transaction in 1,000-point increments, and 100,000 points transferred in to or out of an account per calendar year. The sender needs a My Account profile, the recipient's account number and name as they appear on the recipient's account, and a major credit card. Transfers are not refundable or reversible, do not count toward status, and in most cases post immediately but may take up to 72 hours; EasyBiz company accounts are not eligible. Separately, holders of the Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite card and of the Hawaiian Airlines co-branded cards (Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard, Hawaiian Airlines Bank of Hawaii World Elite Mastercard, Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Business Mastercard, and the Bankoh Hawaiian Airlines Visa Debit Card) get free points transfers across a network of up to ten additional Atmos Rewards members. There is no formal family-pooling program. Points can also be redeemed to book award travel for family members, which moves the value without moving the points.
