Citi Thank You Points
« on: September 13, 2018, 04:00:48 PM »
I had always hears that TY points are valuable.  I'm looking at the options though and unless I am misunderstanding my options their value to me is minimal.  Am I correct that the only option to transfer to an airline rewards program is Jetblue? Not sure how else I can maximize their value

TY Preferred points can only transfer to JetBlue, what your hearing about is TY Premier/Prestige. Those have much more vallue

I hate to break it to you but you got plenty of research to do...

Quantas for ELAL is a pretty solid transfer among others

But still not a ton of value. Not like Amex or Chase points (given the right cards).

Yeah, sure, but I have yet to see or find someone who prefers TY points.

Good response. But it is not easy to accumulate like MR or UR.

Which makes the supply lower, presumably giving them more market value.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Yes
Maybe in your world. Everyone has different ways to manufacture points.

I was answering the market value part.
I personally don't touch TYP cards, so I don't know much, but off the top of my head j can think of a simple way to rack em up.

I guess I do. I really don't know much about points.  I'll probably just do something dumb like gift cards....TY

Could a transfer to Qantas mismatch names, or at least the first name?
