About the Programme
What Citi ThankYou Rewards Points Are Really Worth
Citi ThankYou Points transfer to a broad international partner list including Turkish Miles&Smiles, Avianca and Flying Blue.
Citi ThankYou Points from the Strata Premier, Prestige and Double Cash cards have one of the strongest international transfer lists in the US market. Statement credits and gift cards pay around 1 cent. Turkish Miles&Smiles for domestic United awards, Avianca LifeMiles for Star Alliance Business Class and Flying Blue Promo Rewards are the redemptions that push value far past that.
How You Earn
- 3x on air travel, hotels, dining, supermarkets and gas with Strata Premier
- 2x on every purchase with Citi Double Cash
- Annual hotel benefit and welcome bonuses on premium cards
- Citi Merchant Offers and shopping portal bonuses
- Combining ThankYou balances across eligible Citi cards
Turning Points Into Flights
- Transfer thankyou points into partner airline loyalty programmes
- Use transfer bonuses to stretch your balance 15–40% further
- Book partner award seats through the best-value programme, not the operating airline
- Combine points with cash top-ups where taxes and surcharges are high

Where Your Points Go Furthest
Best Redemption Strategies
- Search award space before transferring — transfers are one-way and final
- Target sweet-spot partners where the same seat costs 30–50% fewer points
- Avoid programmes with heavy carrier-imposed surcharges on long-haul
- Book at the 355-day mark or hunt last-minute release windows
- Split parties across cabins or programmes to unlock more availability
