Can Citi Dividend cashback be converted into ThankYou Points?
I am considering converting my Citi AAdvantage card into another product. One of my options is the Dividend Card.
Can anyone tell me if cashback earned on the Dividend Card can be converted into ThankYou points earned from a Prestige Card in the same way you could covert Chase Freedom cashback into Sapphire Preferred Ultimate Rewards points?
If not, is there a no-annual fee TY point earning card not available for new applicants worth converting my AAdvantage card to?
Thanks!

But the consensus here is the best no-AF TY card is Citi Forward, a card that no longer available (but still an active card for those who have it, including me
)Your choice for a no-AF TY card is Citi TY Preferred.

In and of itself, the Freedom only earns cash back. You will never see Chase advertise anything differently. But you can convert that cash back into UR points if you have an Ink Plus or CSP.

No.
I am not sure what you are trying to ask. "not available for new applicants" will also mean not available for conversion as well.

I'm just wondering if anyone with a current Dividend card has succeeded in converting the cashback balance to points, now that the Double Cash supports it? My wife has a dividend card, and it would be helpful to be able to transfer the points to me as TYP (through an intermediate TYP account on her end?) when we're ready to spend them.

Dividend is indeed very much available by conversion. Forward was completely discontinued, and existing accounts closed or converted to other products.

Thanks, that's helpful. I might wait until the end of this cycle then so that I can take advantage of the less-limited grocery bonus (what I was planning to use the custom cash for anyway).
