Get a 50% transfer bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou to Turkish Miles&Smiles.

Valid for points transfers completed between 09/21/2025 12:01 AM ET and 10/18/2025 11:59 PM ET.

This bonus gives you 1.5 Miles&Smiles miles per point transferred on a Citi Strata Elite℠, Citi Strata Premier℠, Citi Prestige®, and AT&T Access More. Other eligible ThankYou cards will get 1.5 Miles&Smiles miles per point (up from 1.05 normally). Interestingly, this gives n0-annual fee Citi ThankYou family cardholders a unique opportunity to get a 1:1 (actually slightly better!!) transfer ratio which could make this especially appealing to someone without a CitiThankYou card with an annual fee and who already understands the Miles&Smiles program.

We have seen one previous transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou to Turkish in mid-2024, though that was on the Turkish side and not as seamless.

Keep in mind:

• Turkish miles “hard expire” after 3 years, so speculative transfers are not advised. “Hard expire” means you cannot extend expiration with new activity.

The best use of Turkish miles now are for flights within North America (including Hawaii) on United or Air Canada. Note that this requires “Saver” inventory. Economy tickets are 10,000 miles and Business Class tickets are 15,000 miles each way. You can also fly Business Class on Turkish for 65,000 miles from the US. They are in the Star Alliance.

If you found an award you wanted and were ready to book, this could be a really great deal. Think a US domestic business class award or just 10,000 ThankYou points or a US  Istanbul award on Turkish metal for 43,333 Citi points. Transfers are *usually* instant, but there’s never a guarantee.
