The new ThankYou Premier Card says it offers a 15% discount, but "details will be provided upon card membership". Maybe Citi is planning on offering a 15% discount when paying for the entire ticket with points, which would only slightly increase the value of earned points.
I doubt Citi's intention was to give a 25% discount off the lowest published airfare to anyone that applies even 1 ThankYou point towards the cost of the ticket. There is no way Citi can afford to do this in the long run, so if you have ThankYou points and a need to travel, I would book now before they fix this bug.
