Since AAdvantage moved to revenue based redemptions, they are a bit less valuable than they used to be. However, they can still book First and Business Class seats on oneworld partner airlines like Qatar Airways and Japan Airlines, and we also find that they can have occasional deals with forward cabin seats on American.

Citi Premier® Credit Card
Our ratings are determined by the authors and editors on our team. Each individual card feature is compared against all other cards we offer and the total score is an average of those 4 ratings.
Bonus Offer
Earn 60,000 bonus ThankYou(R) Points after you spend $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. Plus, for a limited time, earn a total of 10 ThankYou(R) Points per $1 spent on hotel, car rentals, and attractions (excluding air travel) booked on the Citi Travel(SM) portal through June 30, 2024.
Accor Live Limitless points are worth 2 Euro cents (about 2.2 US cents) towards stays.
That means that normally, transferring Citi points (or Capital One Miles) would only get you 1.1 cents in value due to the exchange rate. With this, you are getting 1.65 cents per Citi ThankYou point to redeem at their brands which include the likes of Fairmont, Raffles, MGallery, and Sofitel – 52 brands in total.
Cashing out Citi points for 1.65 cents could appeal to some.
Bonus points for spend in the following bonus categories:
- Earn triple points from five distinct spending categories from air travel and hotels to restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations
- Take advantage of World Elite Mastercard perks, like Lyft and DoorDash perks and extended warranty protection
- Citi ThankYou® points are extremely flexible, with the ability to utilize an array of more than 15 airline and two hotel transfer partners to get the most bang for your buck on travel
Pros
- The $95 annual fee can be completely offset by the $100 hotel credit
- Redeem Citi ThankYou® points for a variety of travel, including the ability to transfer points to more than 15 airline and hotel programs
- Generous welcome bonus
Cons
- Unlike some competitors, there are no included travel insurance or trip protection benefits in case something goes wrong
- Citi ThankYou® points can only be transferred to airline programs (no hotels) and of them, the partners are more obscure international airlines
- Weaker on travel perks, with no airport lounge access or TSA PreCheck/Global Entry reimbursement
If you have a Citi Premier card or a legacy Citi Prestige card, you can transfer your points to Citi's full range of airline and hotel partners. Other ThankYou points-earning cards can be pooled with your Premier or Prestige to unlock airline and hotel program transfers. We calculate that you can get an average of 1.6 cents per point when redeeming this way. If you have any other Citi ThankYou point cards and do not have a Premier or Prestige, then your ThankYou points are worth 1 cent each.
