The Missing Citi Points Transfer Partner (View from the Wing)

I receive compensation for many links on this blog. You don’t have to use these links, but I am grateful to you if you do. I do not write about all credit cards that are available — instead focusing on miles, points, and cash back (and currencies that can be converted into the same).

The Citi Thank You Points program — which long ago used to be one of my favorites — breathed some new life into the offering today with the introduction of airline mileage transfer partners.

Earlier today I listed (7) airlines that you can transfer points to:

Cathay Pacific AsiaMiles
EVA Air Infinity MileageLands
Etihad Guest
Garuda Indonesia Frequent Flyer
Qatar Airways Privilege Club
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer
Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus

Those are the seven listed as partner programs.

But The Miles Professor points out that the help topic page lists an 8th frequent flyer program you can transfer to: Malaysia Airlines Enrich.

Is Malaysia a transfer partner or aren’t they? I do not know why the discrepancy.

Reader Daniel asked earlier for a link to a strong credit card offer for earning Thank You points. The best offer I’m currently aware of is for The Citi ThankYou® Premier Card:

20,000 points after $2000 in purchases within the first 3 months
30,000 points after another $3000 in purchases within the first 3 months of the second year as a cardmember
Earns 3 points per dollar on dining and entertainment and 2 points per dollar on airfare and hotels.
No foreign transaction fees
First year annual fee waived, $125 after that
