When transferring Citi ThankYou points to Shop Your Way as long as you had a premium card (Premier/Prestige) you’d receive 12 Shop Your Way Points for every 1 Citi ThankYou point. Citi has now reduced this and you’ll receive 10 Shop Your Way points for every 1 Citi ThankYou point. I suspect this change is due to Shop Your Way Rewards now being redeemable for third party gift cards.
Hat tip to FM
Was able to get my small block of TYPs that supposedly “never expire” (but magically expires by end of this year anyway) as well as the rewards+ rebates for them through.
At least, It was good while it lasted.
Good luck to everyone who stick around to witness the exciting new developments in the land of the TYP!
@Citi just don’t devalue the DC to TY transfer 😀

no-notice devaluations are my 2nd favorite thing about this hobby, right after unilateral shutdowns and confiscations of points/miles
Anyhow all the good gift cards are gone.
Hahahaha. “I don’t shop much, but when I do, I prefer to do it at Walmart. Just for the finer things in life.”
