Why tf would they give benefits to people who don't use their products? lol
I pay income taxes with Citibank Double Cash, fees pretty much equal the cashback. Then this makes it worth while!

Can't believe no one has said this yet, but this is a horrible use of thank you points if you have the travel card. You can easily get 6 cents or more on airline or hotel costs. Stuff like this is never worth it imo
Quote from rdcrds :
Well most of us have a double cash card so this is by far the best way and many like me do not travel very much if at all.
Quote from sujacob :
There aren't that many great transfer partners and airline miles have been devalued like crazy lately, with Rewards+ this is basically redeeming at 1.4c/mile.
The key point here is "IF" you travel and/or "IF" you have the travel card. If you do and use the points at a higher conversion rate, more power to you. For people who don't travel or can't utilize this, please don't generalize. I tried going that route couple of times in the past, since every single TY, UR or Amex point thread mentions "you must use them for travel", and I failed miserably each time. The main reason for me was not being able to find a date that worked for 3 different schedules in the family. You gotta be flexible on your travel dates to find the best deal with the points, and our schedules are far from flexible with students at different education levels, MD vacations that are scheduled a year in advance, etc, etc. Hence, Apple hardware purchase and paying for subscriptions make more sense to "me".

citi travel partner flight/hotel are really meh for domestic. i dont think any of them were good. amex/chase has better option for travel and hotel.

6 cpp easily? There're absolutely ways to get that and more, but this is nowhere near normal. I believe Citi sells TY points at 2.5 cpp, so if you value them at 6 cpp there's an infinite money hack for you.

Thank you for this. This is a strong redemption as far as non-travel goes, and beneficial to a lot of people. The elitism in award travel community is really annoying.

buying straight from appl is the only way to get any legitimate "deal" on the latest, unlocked, brand new iphone this era. and paying with appl bux is the way to do it .... for those asking about best buy, wells fargo rewards occasionally offers 10% off best buy gift cards, and you can fund the purchase also with a credit card or bank account.

**edit 10 hours later: still waiting for gift card delivery zZzzZ
*** final edit: nothing 24 hours later > "re-send" giftcard button on the order details page doesn't work > chat told me to call 1-800-842-6596 > press "2" for thank you points > say "something else" > phone agent re-sent giftcard on citi's end > expct results in 24-48 hours > no results in 48 hours > called again > re-sent to a different email address domain, i.e. yahoo > immediate success ... fyi, it seems outlook domain is the culprit in my experience.

You can literally add unlimited card to your cart and the "place order" button seems to be still active. I wonder how that works? The point summary shows a negative amount.

Quote from hiteshseth :
You gwy 6cent per point type of value only on premium or business class tickets. For economy travel it would be rare to get that kind of value

That is maybe halfway true. This deal is like 1.4 cent value or whatever someone said. Sure maybe 6 cents is more common with premium economy airline tickets, but I book economy domestic flights with points at 4-6 cent value every year or so, which is still give or take 4x this value, which is quite significant imo I booked vacation to Paris next year and got like 8 cents or more per point. That was on premium economy, and subtraction of value from fees, tax, etc. I'm not really that into the travel points "elitism" as someone called it here, just google it whenever I'm in the market. Plenty of sites that help out with point value stuff

I first went through the main citi.com site. Logged into my credit card acct, then clicked on Redeem thank you points. It worked fine.
