I dont know much about the Hawaiian Airlines.
Would you say this is a good(cost efficient) way to use up my MR points?

Not unless you have a planned redemption right now.

1.5 x would make this a good deal. 1.2 x is just poor way to redeem your MR points.

Heck, even 1:1 delta gives better value than this.

for those not into point farming/usage, this is not a good value at all.

Agree.
Flights to Hawaii, at least from the West coast, are sometimes good to redeem via Hawaiian, sometimes fewer miles through Alaska or United.

Am looking to close my Amex card and transfer the points before. If this is not a good value, anybody have suggestions for a better transfer partner?

Why not downgrade to a free card to save your points?

While i agree that I would want the 1.5x, Delta 1:1 is not a better value. Their miles don't go nearly as far. If Hawaiian has a route that you want to do, this can be decent if you're in a hurry. They do cover a pretty large part of the Pacific from most places in this country. Honolulu is also a pretty centralized place for a connection and pretty pleasant to do so.

My understanding with conversions is that the value of the points is recognized at the point where you convert the ticket price in dollars of the hotel/airfare to the ticket price in points. Not when you are converting AMEX points to partner points

I hadn't thought of that. There are free cards which offer MR ?

EDIT: Found it, nvm. Amex everyday.
