Citi ThankYou Rewards
Citi ThankYou Rewards is one the four major credit card reward programs in the US. We refer to these four rewards programs as super-programs, as they all combine over a dozen or major rewards programs into one.
The most valuable benefit of the program is the ability to transfer to 15 airlines with a 1:1 ratio. This benefit is only available to the holders of Citi Premier and Citi Prestige cards.
ThankYou airline transfer partners are:
Citi Transfer Partner | MinTransfer** | Transfer Ratio | Transfer Time |
1,000 | 1:1 | Usually Instant | |

*Not available through any super-program
Citi ThankYou tends to offer limited time bonus offers from time to time, usually once a year. We have consistently observed the following over the past several years:
25 percent bonus to Air France/KLM Flying Blue, Avianca, Qantas
10 percent bonus to Cathay Asiamiles.
Citi ThankYou does not currently have any hotel partners and their “book travel” option should no longer be used after they dropped the 25 percent bonus. If you cannot find a good deal on a ticket you want to book by transferring miles to a partner airline, simply buy the best option you can find, pay with Citi Prestige and earn a 5X bonus (3X bonus for Citi premier) for the purchase. Then, simply redeem statement credit for the value of your purchase. As an example, a $1,000 ticket will cost you 95,000 ThankYou points to redeem (100,000 Statement credit redemption minus 5,000 points accrues for $1,000 ticket purchase).
Citi Prestige is definitely the way to go with Citi for travelers, but they announced that they stopped accepting new applications in July 2021. Citi will continue to service existing accounts and you can still apply for Citi Premier which give you access to Citi ThankYou points. See our article Every Road Warrior should have at least one of these in their wallet: A Review of Citi Prestige, Chase Sapphire Reserve, and Amex Platinum for more information and analysis about the Citi Prestige card and how it stacks up against others.
Choose where you are going from and to by selecting the respective zones. There are two ways to choose your origin and destination - you can either select the zones they fall into on the map or by clicking on the bars above the map and entering the city name or airport code into the search fields.
- Choose one of the three point combination options which is applicable to you. If you don't have any miles in any airline accounts you can leave those fields blank.
- Input all of the different points you have on the credit cards you are planning to use. You can enter as many as you like. If you have multiple cards on one name from the same bank you can combine and enter the total amount of points between all of your cards.
- Enter all the miles you have in airlines frequent flyer programs on the left hand side following the airlines name.
- Once you input the information, click on the analyze button at the bottom of the page.
- The analyzer will offer you the optimal transfer combinations to explore as well as pros and cons of each.
- Review analyzer recommendations. Total number of miles is not the only consideration you should take into account. Analyzer will give you additional information about each program to make the right decision. You can also download results to a pdf and even send them to others if you like.
- Proceed to check availability with respective airlines. Do not transfer any miles until you confirm the desired option is available on the airline’s website. Note the transfer time and hold the reservation if possible before transferring any miles.
- Remember all transfers are final as you would not be able to send the points back to your credit card. If your trip is cancelled your miles will go back to the respective airline account.
- Transferring points to airline's frequent flyer programs is not the only way to obtain the award ticket. You can also redeem the points through your credit card directly by using the Book Travel option. You can find out more by checking out our Credit card reward tab on Wikimiles home page.
- WikiMiles Crew is always here to answer any questions. For an additional fee we can also assist you with the bookings. Use the Contact us section to reach out to us.
