I saw the title of this thread, and think it a good place to start a related discussion.
Citi has recently changed its flight ticket redemption rule. For example, domestic rountrip now "starts at 25k points" instead of "costing" 25k points previously. And I've seen people report using many more than the start-at number of points to redeem a ticket. If we keep a list of the number of points used to redeem tickets (together with itinerary) after the change, everyone can get a better sense of the actual value of Thankyou points when spent for flight tickets. I suggest the following format if one cares to report:

1. date of redemption
2. date of travel
3. itinerary/airline/class
4. number of points cost
5. tax and fees, if any

It doesn't have to be an actual trip; it could as well be a quote by Thankyou redemption that you later declined.
