How much you get in cash per point depends on which card(s) you have- if you hold a Prestige for example you can still get 1 cent a point.
You also get 1 cent per point (with any of the cards) for travel in the Citi travel portal- and can usually get 1 cent pp (sometimes higher) on gift cards too.
Best value as always with flexible point systems will be transferring to airline programs- especially for higher service level tickets.
That said- the premier used to ALSO give you a 25% bonus on portal hotel bookings with points AND you could stack it with 4th night free on Prestige- so that was a decent combo for a while- but they killed that off a few months back.
I redeemed a week or so ago at 1 cent per point.
edit: on prestige.
edit: called and the automated service said it's because I have too many financial accounts (I have a lot but not a ton, probably fairly typical with maybe a few extra CC's), and because I had a recent query on my credit report.
Mortgage trick is the only way to get 800
edit: on prestige.
I did 3 month ago with premier and only .5 per point (mortage trick was only way that time). Unless it changed recently or you had citi custom cash. That one claims 20k points can be redeemed for 200 cash back.

Same scenario here 800+… reason was "too much UNUSED credit lines." They want people who love racking up debt haha

I would wait til renew time or do it instantly idk. whatever.
but I dig how the citi premier looks. dumb as that is. I dont want a 95 dollar fee.
Citi premiere @ 95 a year, vs double cash back citi card? ive been using double cash back as main for a long time
is Sams club/costco warehouse and their gas stations considered 1% as regular purchases, or 3% as gas/grocery purchase? that is bulk of my spending tbh
I did read, there's a 24 month extended warranty feature though with citi premiere, thats nice.
and costco citi visa, 2% Costco everyday. this is my first citi card with points

You gotta wait for the card to arrive.

IMO, the Costco card is better than the premier. I found it difficult to justify the $95 a year with this card. At most, I was just breaking even b/w the points and fee. I think the Costco card has more benefits. If you travel often enough i think the Chase Reserve is better than the premier.
