Merrill+ lets the cardholder choose the carrier (from four), routing, times, while Citi offers the lowest cost flight without regard to those factors. This means (for example) that with 25000 Merrill+ points you may be able to fly nonstop when Citi would put you on a connecting flight at obnoxious times of day.
