Citibank has been offering a 50,000 ThankYou point bonus on the Citi ThankYou Premier
Card for a while now. I wrote about the offer 1 month ago here.
The offer just got better by
10,000 points! See this Slickdeals
thread for more details and discussion on the offer. Citibank is now offering 60,000 ThankYou point bonus on the Premier Card! It’s an easy bonus to earn: one just needs to spend $3,500 in the first 3 months of card membership. 60,000 ThankYou points are worth
about $600 in gift cards and cash, or $750 in airfare. This makes the Premier card a
strong contender against the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, which currently
only offers 40,000 Ultimate Rewards points after spending $4,000 in 3 months. The Premier Card 60,000
ThankYou point bonus is now one of the best credit card offers available!
The ThankYou points program is
Citibank’s credit card point currency. Just like Chase Ultimate Rewards
points or American Express Membership Rewards, ThankYou points can be redeemed
towards gift cards, cash (via student loan or mortgage payment), airfare, or
Hilton HHonors program. ThankYou
points transfer 1:1 to the following airlines:
Cathay Pacific, Asia Miles, Malaysia, Qantas, Qatar, Garuda Indonesia, Flying
Blue (Air France and KLM), EVA Air, Singapore, Thai Airways, Etihad, and Virgin
Atlantic. ThankYou
points transfer 1 point to 1.5 Hilton HHonors point. I’m not too familiar with most
of the airline transfer partners, but they are definitely worth exploring in
the future.
See this Flyertalk thread for more in depth discussion on
ThankYou Point transfers.
The ThankYou Premier card easily
earns bonus points with 3x points on travel (including gas) and 2x points on
dining out and entertainment. This card has no foreign
transaction fees. This
card has a $95 annual fee, which is waived the first year.
One nice benefit of the ThankYou
points program is that the points can be
shared with any other ThankYou
account. This
is great for families and friends to share points. For comparison, Chase Ultimate
Rewards points can only be shared with one spouse or significant other. The only downside of ThankYou
point sharing is that transferred points
expire after 90 days.
You can apply for your own card here. I have no affiliation with Citibank and do
not earn a commission from your application.
Go sign up before it’s too late!
