Editor\u2019s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information. Citi is a TPG advertising partner.<\/em><\/p>\n Many Citi cardholders redeem their Citi ThankYou Rewards points for travel or gift cards. But if you have a premium Citi ThankYou card<\/a>, you may be able to get greater value from your points. Specifically, you can maximize your Citi ThankYou points<\/a> by transferring points to the program\u2019s airline and hotel partners.<\/p>\n Currently, Citi ThankYou Rewards has the following airline transfer partners:<\/p>\n Additionally, it has three hotel transfer partners:<\/p>\n In this guide, we\u2019ll look deeper at each of these Citi ThankYou Rewards transfer partners<\/a>. But first, let\u2019s consider how to earn Citi ThankYou points<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can earn Citi ThankYou points<\/a> through some of Citi\u2019s credit cards<\/a>. Here are some of my favorite Citi cards that can earn ThankYou points:<\/p>\n But not all ThankYou points have the same value. To transfer your Citi ThankYou points<\/a> to most partners described in this guide, you must hold a premium Citi ThankYou card<\/a> such as the Citi Prestige\u00ae Card<\/a> (no longer available to applications) or Citi Premier<\/a><\/span>. If you only have the Citi Rewards+ Card<\/a><\/span>, you\u2019ll earn more limited ThankYou points that transfer to JetBlue, Choice and Wyndham at poor ratios, and not to the other partners at all. Alternatively, you can redeem points for cash back or travel through Citi.<\/p>\n If you have the Citi Double Cash Card<\/a><\/span> or the Citi Custom Cash Card<\/a><\/span>, you earn cash back as \u201cbasic\u201d ThankYou points. When redeemed for gift cards, these are worth a flat 1 cent each and cannot be transferred to most ThankYou travel partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, if you also hold the Citi Prestige<\/a> or Citi Premier<\/a><\/span>, you can combine your basic ThankYou points with those from your Citi Prestige or Citi Premier account. Then, you can transfer to any of the Citi ThankYou travel partners.<\/p>\n
