Citi ThankYou points can now be transferred to JetBlue points at a rate of 1,000 Citi ThankYou Points : 500 JetBlue points or 1,000:800 depending on the card you hold. For Citi ThankYou® Premier, Citi Prestige® and Citi Chairman® cardmember point transfers to TrueBlue, 1,000 Points = 800 TrueBlue points. For Citi ThankYou Preferred or Citi Forward cardmember point transfers to TrueBlue, 1,000 Points = 500 TrueBlue points
The only other flexible points that transfer to JetBlue are American Express Membership Rewards, they transfer at a rate of 1,000 : 800. JetBlue points are worth a fixed value of 0.97¢ to 1.89¢ depending on the flights you redeem for. This means that by transferring your Citi ThankYou points you’d be getting less than 1¢ per point on the high end. You’d be better off just using your Citi ThankYou points to book the travel that way. Because of that, this isn’t an attractive transfer partner at all. Sears Shop Your Way Rewards points are also now a transfer partner of Citi ThankYou Points.
Citi ThankYou points can also be transferred to the following partners:
| Emirates | EVA Air Infinity MileageLands | Malaysia Airlines Enrich |
| AirFrance-KLM Flying Blue | Etihad Guest | Qatar Airways Privilege Club |
| Asia Miles | Accor Hotels (1:0.5) | Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer |
| Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus | Virgin Atlantic Flying Club | Qantas |
| JetBlue (1:0.8 rate, 0.5 with Preferred) | Sears SYWRP (1:12) | Jet Airways JetPrivilege |
| Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles | Avianca LifeMiles | Club Premier Aeromexico |
| Choice Hotels (1:2) | Leading Hotels of the World (5:1) |
What’s most interesting about this announcement are the different transfer levels based on what cards you hold. I wonder if Citi is planning on offering something similar on other transfer partners.
