- Redeeming Citi Thank You Points for Walmart Gift Cards, and Shifting Focus to Cash Back by Miles For Family. Most people have a finite amount of time for vacations and a lot of the time it would make more sense for them to redeem for gift cards/rather than luxury or short trips. Either way, use your points/miles to do whatever makes you happy but there is absolutely nothing wrong with redeeming for cash or gift cards.
- Got 11,000,000 Lufthansa miles? You can redeem for a BMW, yes a real car by Miles From Blightly. It’s a BMWi3 and I guess redemption is only available for those in Europe. Sticker price is around $43k, which means you’r getting about 0.39¢, although the sticker price in Europe is about the same in Euros so you get a slightly better redemption rate. Either way, pass.
