So this is pretty cool. The Citi Rewards+ card is a new card that:
- Earns 2X Citi ThankYou points at supermarkets and gas stations on up to $6,000 in spending per year (then 1X)
- Rounds up every purchase to the nearest 10 points (spend $2, earn 10 points, say)
- Rebates 10% of your redeemed miles on up to 100,000 points per year
- Has NO annual fee
I product changed my old Citi Diamond Preferred to the Rewards+, and that was that. Until today, when I saw a random 1,600 ThankYou points in my account.
The only activity I’d had recently was transferring 16,000 Citi ThankYou points to Qantas. Then I realized – the Rewards+ card’s 10% rebate worked on the redeemed ThankYou points, even though I earned them with other ThankYou cards.
For a card that’s free to keep, that’s up to 10,000 points back in my account every year – and I value those for $200 at least. An as long as this works, I will 100% keep my Prestige card long-term.
This pairing is pretty awesome – and seems to work with any other ThankYou card and for any type of redemption (points transfer, travel booked directly, etc).
Holy crap, this new power-up to my Citi Prestige card is worth an extra 10,000 points per year. Officially keeping
When you combine the rebate with points transfer bonuses and 1.25 cents for travel – it gets all that much better.
