I received this email as well. I'm a little nervous about converting rewards to points because other than these sales I would obviously much rather have the cashback. Citi says once you convert you can't go back. I'm not sure if a one time 20% discount is worth not having the cashback option anymore. Does anyone know if my assumptions are true or experience?

you can cash out points for statement credit. and you will continue earning cash back with your card.

It just means that after you convert the cashback to points, you can't convert the points back to cashback. You will still continue earning cashback on your card (if you normally do). Also, you can choose how much cashback you want to convert to points, you don't have to convert all of it.

Doubt it, 10-20% discount on Lowe's GCs is common out there and you can't buy visa or other GCs with Lowe's GC anymore

If you have Citi Rewards+ Credit Card, you also get a 10% bonus each time you use TYP. So this effectively becomes 30% redemption discount. Great deal given that Citi Removed 1.25 Travel redemption on TYP

You can package it with a $500 AGC and I'll give you 1600 cash

Yes, you can redeem for statement credit or direct deposit BUT every $1 earned will only be worth $0.5 - $1 (depending on the card)

Is there any point in keeping the cash back (Double Cash) or should I just convert to TYP?

Sorta, but also I would figure the Lowes GC has a discounted value of at .8 or less of face value, so if you were going to "private sale" a Lowes GC, realistically you would I think $300 or more off of a $1600 card would make sense. AGC discounts are a lot less. I probably wouldn't take the offer the other user made, but It is maybe $100 off of what I figure would be a fair offer - not exactly lowball.
