Thank You program may not be such a great deal. I have been earning Thank You points for last three years through Citibank Rewards card, reaching
~ 39,000 points. Just to check out how much travel I could get for it, I put in domestic travel in May, 2007. It quoted me > 39,000 points, just shy of my total points. I had expected 25,000 points. So I am doing something better to stretch my points - buying gift cards instead, with points.
