We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

It’s Back! Increased 50,000 Transferable Point Sign-Up Bonus (Worth AT LEAST $625 in Travel!)

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Via Frequent Miler, the Citi ThankYou® Premier card’s 50,000 ThankYou point bonus is back from the dead!

    You can redeem Citi ThankYou points through the Citi travel center for 1.25 cents each in travel.  So this bonus is worth at least $625 toward your next trip!  Plus, Citi ThankYou points have steadily become more useful, as they continue to add great transfer partners.

    But in order to qualify for this offer, you must NOT have opened or closed any Citi card from the same family of cards within the past 24 months. 🙁

    I’ll explain.  And tell you what to expect from this improved offer!

    Citi ThankYou Premier 50,000 Point Bonus

    Link:   Citi ThankYou Premier

    You can now earn 50,000 Citi ThankYou points when you sign-up for the Citi ThankYou Premier card and spend $4,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of opening your account.

    Most recently, the sign-up bonus was only 30,000 Citi ThankYou points.

    Along with the welcome bonus, you’ll get these perks:

    The card’s $95 annual fee is waived the first year.

    Is It A Good Deal?

    With the Citi ThankYou Premier, Citi ThankYou points are worth 1.25 cents when you book travel through the Citi travel center.  So with this bonus, you’d earn $625 in airfare, hotels, rental cars, or cruises!

    But you can get even more value by transferring your Citi ThankYou points to a partner airline and using them to book award flights!  For example, you could get to Hawaii by be transferring your Citi ThankYou points to Virgin Atlantic to fly on Hawaiian Airlines.  Or transfer them to Singapore Airlines to fly on United Airlines.

    You could also save on Star Alliance partner award flights to Hong Kong by transferring your ThankYou points to Avianca!

    You Could Be Cruising in Style With All Those Citi ThankYou Points You’ll be Collecting!

    In the past, we’ve seen a higher bonus with the Citi Prestige, which also earns Citi ThankYou points.  But there’s no guarantee that bonus will come back.  And the Citi Prestige does have a much higher annual fee (though for lots of folks, the card’s perks more than make up for it!).  So make sure this is the right deal for you.

    Just remember, if you’ve opened or closed a card under the same family of cards as the Citi ThankYou Premier within 24 months (like the Citi ThankYou Preferred or Citi Prestige), you won’t qualify for this sign-up bonus.

    Bottom Line

    There’s a new offer to earn 50,000 Citi ThankYou points with the Citi ThankYou Premier card after spending $4,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.

    Previously, this card’s sign-up bonus was only 30,000 Citi ThankYou points.  So this is a much better deal!  But it’s still not the best deal we’ve ever seen on a Citi card that earns ThankYou points!

    Let me know if you apply!
