Has Citi's system changed? I just tried finding a ticket from ORD to JNB through the ThankYouNetwork website and got weird fares of around 180,000. Not nice round numbers though. Thought that seemed odd, so I plugged in my standard US to Asia routes which I usually get for 60,000 points. Oddly enough, I got back costs of 126,000 to 220,000 some odd miles. It's as if the point costs reflected the actual tickets prices in pennies.

When did they switch to this system? I was thinking I'd be able to get the ORD to JNB flight for 80,000 or ORD to NGO for 60,000. Is this just because I was going through the ThankYou network website? Before, I just always called them directly for reservations.
