          Priority Rewards Credit Card

            Yes, you may transfer your CashPoints to a friend's or family member's account by using the Transfer CashPoints page.

              Priority Rewards Program

                  YES! To receive airline frequent flyer miles, you should provide your airline frequent flyer number to the agent when you redeem your CashPoints. You must work directly with the airline in question if you forget to provide your frequent flyer number or in cases of any discrepancies.

                    You may redeem the appropriate level of CashPoints for any destination or class of service. Once a ticket is purchased by the Redemption Center, any upgrades or changes must be made between you and the airline which issued the ticket.

                      Your CashPoints will expire 24 months from your last credit card purchase or your last redemption, whichever is most recent. Transferred (gifted) CashPoints are set to the expiration date of the receiving account and do not count as redemption activity for the originating or receiving account.

                                        Priority Unlimited Credit Card

                                          Use your Priority Unlimited Mastercard® on purchases and automatically earn Cash Back. Cash Back will be earned when eligible transactions post to your account. You will earn 2% Cash Back on qualifying purchases if you have an additional qualifying FHB account OR 1.5% Cash Back if you do not. To qualify to receive 2% Cash Back on purchases, your additional qualifying FHB account must be open and in good standing when the transaction posts.  

                                            Cash Back can be redeemed as a statement credit through on-demand redemption, automatic monthly redemption or Mastercard Pay with RewardsTM, so long as your account is in good standing at the time the redemption is made.

                                            MasterCard Pay with Rewards is a program that allows you to redeem statement credits towards eligible purchases.

                                            When you redeem Cash Back, you will have to enter the amount you wish to redeem. The minimum redemption amount is $25.00. Cash Back cannot be bought, sold, or transferred.

                                              A qualifying FHB account is any FHB personal deposit account (checking, savings, CD, IRA), mortgage, home equity loan, HELOC, or private banking relationship. You must be an owner of the qualifying account. Agents, beneficiaries, custodians, guardians, personal representatives, guarantors, and other types of non-owners are excluded.  Cash Back is accumulated when eligible transactions post to the cardholder’s account.

                                                Eligible purchases are all purchase transactions excluding balance transfers, convenience checks, ATM withdrawals, PIN transactions, money transfers (including P2P payments), quasi cash transactions (including purchases of traveler’s checks, money orders, foreign currencies and cryptocurrencies), lease and loan payments, truck stop transactions, tax payments, gambling transactions, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, finance charges and other card-related fees. See the Priority Unlimited Program Agreement and the Priority Unlimited Credit Card Agreement at fhb.com/unlimited for additional details and restrictions. 

                                                  No, you will lose all of your Cash Back earnings if your account is closed.

                                                  Your Cash Back Balance cannot be assigned, transferred or pledged. If the Card Account is closed in connection with a death or incapacity of the Card Account owner, accumulated Cash Back does not constitute your property and cannot be bought, sold, or transferred in any way. This provision, however, does not apply to jointly held accounts where there is at least one surviving owner of an account.

                                                              3D Secure

                                                                Mastercard 3D Secure 2.0 is an additional layer of authentication for online card transactions that aims to reduce fraud and enhance security. Not all transactions or purchases will require 3D Secure authentication; it depends on the merchant and/or type of purchase. 

                                                                3D Secure may require a two-factor authentication to protect you from unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. The two-factor authentication will ask if you would like a passcode sent to your email or mobile phone and have you enter in the passcode. If you are able to authenticate your purchase using this method, the charge will go through. Otherwise, the transaction will be declined.

                                                                  A 3D Secure authentication error may be due to a mistyped card number or an incorrect expiration date. You may need to reattempt the purchase to ensure all information needed to complete the transaction is correct. Also, if no authentication message was received, please double check that your mobile phone number and email address is correct on file with First Hawaiian Bank.

                                                                    All of our First Hawaiian Bank consumer and small business debit and credit cardholders are automatically enrolled in Mastercard 3D Secure 2.0 as a security measure for our customers. There is no option to opt out. 

                                                                    At this time, 3D Secure 2.0 is not enabled for customers with a Commercial or Small Business roll up credit card.
