Overview
- Transfers post at elevated rates during the promotion, yielding 1,500 Miles&Smiles miles or 1,300 Flying Club points per 1,000 Citi ThankYou points.
- On Turkish Miles&Smiles, a 65,000-mile one-way business award between the U.S. and Istanbul effectively costs about 44,000 Citi points after the 50% bonus.
- Miles&Smiles now prices awards per segment and enforces a 36‑month expiration from earning, which favors nonstop Turkish flights to or from Istanbul.
- Virgin Atlantic Flying Club uses dynamic pricing, with Upper Class transatlantic awards starting around 29,000 points in some cases, and its points do not expire.
- Transfers occur in 1,000-point increments and are irreversible, and these offers arrive alongside other recent Citi bonuses to Avianca LifeMiles and Qatar Privilege Club.
