So if you buy tickets for a 10,000 mile flight, and spend $10k on your card, you have 20k TYP which can be redeemed for a domestic flight worth up to $400 that you will in turn earn miles on. For some business/first class awards you can get up to $0.03 per point value.
I won't bore you with the details in case you already know about it, but I would consider it and check out the credit card forums for details on the fixed price awards you can get with TYP.
Whoa, really? Is that true with every airline? I get points on miles flown as well as the cost of the ticket? Is that true both ways? (so on a 500 mile r/t flight, 500 TYP going, 500 returning) That's great for international travel. Is it a 1:1 ratio of TYP to miles on every airline? Does it transfer to FF miles, or just tickets that they issue?
To make sure I get this straight,....
You didn't get it right. Not quite.
The key words are "when matched with spending."
As
edlin303 had pointed out, there are a lot of discussion on Citi Thank You Points. You should visit the
Other Credit Card Programs Forum to check it out. MileBuzz! Forum is not the right place for those extensive discussion threads.
Here are two sample threads for your viewing pleasure. (Yes, you have to do the homework youself.
