How this page is built
Partners, ratios and transfer times come from our transfer-partner table, checked against Citi ThankYou Points’s own partner list. Partners are listed by type and then alphabetically — this is a reference list, not a ranking. Cards are sorted by our overall score; partner (affiliate) links never change which cards appear or their order. Point value: our blended cents-per-point figure from /point-values/.
Card details come from our database, which is verified against each issuer’s own website; see our methodology, editorial policy and corrections policy.
