You are mixing together two distinct processes.
If you
merge your ThankYou Rewards accounts the expiration dates of the points will not be affected, and all future points will automatically post to the new ThankYou Rewards account. Citi will still track which points were generated by each card, and if you close a card account those points will expire in 60 days.
If you
share some points from your Premier account with your Prestige account the shared points will expire in 90 days.
I checked for jetairways flight and it is about 15% cheaper using Prestige points than Premier points.
Premier points are worth $0.0125 when redeemed for airfare. Prestige points are worth $0.0133, except...
Bloggers have been saying Prestige points give you better value on AA metal flight only but doesn't seem to be true?
...Prestige points are worth $0.016 when redeemed for AA airfare.
In other words, Prestige points are always worth more than Premier points for airfare, but they are worth the most when redeemed for an AA ticket (although not all AA fares are available through travel agencies.)
