Citi ThankYou Points →Application rules
The quirks of how Citi approves cards. Read these before you apply — most denials are predictable.
- One Citi card welcome bonus per 48 months in the same product family (e.g. all Strata cards count as one family).
- Need a premium Citi card (Strata Premier or Strata Elite) open to keep ThankYou points fully transferable.
- Citi Custom Cash earns 5x in your top spending category up to $500/month — pair with Strata Premier for transfer-eligible 5x.
Transfer-partner highlights
- ✓Turkish Miles&Smiles — 7,500 to 12,500 miles for short-haul AA flights
- ✓Singapore KrisFlyer — Star Alliance access overlapping with Amex
- ✓Cathay Asia Miles — under-the-radar oneworld redemptions
- ✓Wyndham Rewards — 8,000 points/night at any property
