QKC offers airline miles promotion

Event draws 30 small businesses

-

Shoppers who spend at least $100 at a Queen Ka‘ahumanu Center store on one day can receive four times the value in HawaiianMi­les in a mall promotion that runs through Jan. 31.

Shoppers need to bring their receipts or combined receipts to the center’s guest services desk.

Foodland and center office building tenants are excluded from the offer, as are center gift cards; bill payments; prescripti­on insurance co-pays; gratuities and tax; and furniture, mattresses, electronic­s and car services at Sears.

HawaiianMi­les members will earn four HawaiianMi­les for every $1 spent. A maximum of 1,600 miles ($400 total receipts) may be earned during the promotion period.

Customers must be 18 years or older, have an active HawaiianMi­les number and photo identifica­tion with signature to receive miles.
