Latest responses to “Redeeming Citi Thank You Points for Free Flights” Copyright 2012, MoneyBlueBook.com 446890 2009-01-27T02:04:50-08:00 Rick This program(fixed point) will end on March 1, 2009. After that the Thank You points can be exchanged for flights through Expedia at 100 points per dollar(variable point). Pros: For domestic flights under $200 the variable program is a better deal & the variable program covers the taxes and fees. Cons: For many tickets the fixed point program can be worth twice as much as the variable program. 446880 2009-01-09T15:43:29-08:00 Andrew word on the street is that this will end Mar 1, 2009. 446870 2008-09-28T04:59:50-07:00 Darren One thing to note is your are responsible for taxes and fees and many airlines have those more than the fare these days. They only cover the fare part up to the max. amount for each tier based on what Expedia shows. What I have found is good is to use Orbitz to do the search for the flight which shows the taxes on the first page...then you will know which airline has the lowest taxes and fees (I find Delta and airfrance are the best) and then you can go to teh expedia site and pick that specific carrier after the listing comes up. It save time since expedia hides the tax/fee breakout til several screens in. 446860 2008-09-06T09:39:34-07:00 tien-chih wang Can the balance transfer amount be eligible for Thank-you point conversion? 446850 2007-08-27T15:32:26-07:00 Raymond Excellent point Tom. I'm personally not a frequent flyer (1-3 flights a year) so I did not consider the Citi Premier Pass...but if you fly frequently the Thank You points do add up fast with the Premier Pass due to purchases and mileage accumulation. Great deal also! 446840 2007-08-27T14:55:23-07:00 Tom If you are a frequent traveler (fly more than 7,500) miles a year, then the citi Premier Pass - Elite is the best card in the world. You get 1 point for every mile you fly. It has a $75 annual fee, but if since 100 points basically = $1 on the thankyou network, flying 7,500 miles pays for the card and anything over that is points in the bank. I've redeemed, in the past year an a half, 6 domestic tickets, which would have cost between $350 and $500 each. That was before they changed their point structure. It used to be that if you book a domestic flight with a saturday night stay, it would only cost you 25,000 points flat. Now it costs 20,000 flat for a ticket up to $400, and for every extra $50 in ticket cost it's another 5,000 points. Still an amazing deal! 446830 2007-08-26T17:31:36-07:00 KingJacob That looks alot better than compass banks reward program, with compass I need 100,000 points just to fly in the continental US.
