I called Thank You Service center today to ask about the transfer options to airlines and the rep told me herself that it's available for Singapore Airlines and British Airways with the conversion rate of 1:1. I asked for the effective day, she mentioned that according to her records, it's effective as of March 26, 2012. Strange that Citi doesn't do a better job of coordinating such an important launch with the right hand not knowing what the left is doing.

If Citi wants to be competitive against Chase Shapphire Preferred and Amerx Premier Gold Reward, they should consider adding AA miles to the Thank You reward program too, it will be their unique selling point the way United is to Chase or Delta is to Amex. Both BA and SIA are pretty lousy for most long haul international redemptions with excessive fuel surcharges and fees.
