If you want to buy travel, paying cash is ok, since generally fares are low, and you'll potentially have some travel protections if you use a card other than Citi, although don't expect COVID issues to be covered now.

Not sure how / why Citi thinks gift cards are of any use when there is a 1cpp redemption in cash.
Does this redemption value require a CC with high AF? My goal is to get a SUB on any Citi card that I can then PC to the Costco card, which itself doesn't offer any SUB. Thus, I don't plan on accumulating TYP.
