How it works

Citi ThankYou Points lean toward non-US carriers, transferring 1:1 to KrisFlyer, Asia Miles, Avios, Virgin Atlantic, Flying Blue, Etihad, Turkish and Qatar — strong for Qsuite, Singapore and Star Alliance via Turkish. There's no major US airline partner, which is the gap. Frequent transfer bonuses make it a good complement to Amex/Chase.

  • Great for international carriers — KrisFlyer, Avios/Qatar, Turkish, Asia Miles.
  • No big US airline partner, so pair it with a Chase/Amex stash for domestic needs.
  • Turkish 1:1 makes it a backdoor to cheap Star Alliance transatlantic business.
  • Watch for periodic transfer bonuses to KrisFlyer and Avios.
