Good for transfers, or as I did this month for flights through the TY portal at 1.25%, Hong Kong Airlines and Thai Air in Hong Kong to and from and around Thailand.

POINTS EARNED FROM CREDIT CARDS

Total: +240,893
  • Citi PremierSM Card(***)
    +19,601
  • Sears MasterCard(****)
    +221,292
Including October 2019,
  • Citi PremierSM Card(****)

    +39,049

  • Citi� Double Cash Card(****)

    0

  • Citi� Double Cash Card(****)

    0

  • Sears MasterCard(****)

    +426,808
  • Every quarter is a 10x to 20x TYP offer, just finished a 15x offer and now working on a 20x offer to closeout the year, so another 90K TYPs will add to the total earned.
  • Citi Premier is a keeper for me for sure.
At this rate I won't have to bother with the DC cards much if at all.
