Other options
You can now redeem your Citi Thank You points for Walmart gift cards. 50,000 points = $500.
Sell them on Plastic Jungle or use them in place of your normal spending (pocketing the cash).

o.O I just got the 50K bonus from my Citi Premier MC and my wife's just came in today with the spend accounted for. Looks like it may be time in 5-6 months to start getting the Visa version!

This is pretty cool .... not only is Citi running non Experian credit bureau, BUT if Singapore is a partner, that means flights cheap to Europe via Lufthansa, LOT and other partners.
Looking at award chart I see it'll be 95K Singapore miles for North America to Europe in Business (both ways). Where it was 100K with Continental miles.
Am I correct on this or am I missing something? Please confirm.
thanks

This is great news! It will be interesting if they pick up a skyteam partner.

They definitely are not starting out their new transfer option with some of the more generous award charts. On the flip side BA miles, which were already very easy to accumulate if you so desired, get even easier, and SQ are now arguably the second easiest.

One thing that just jumped out at me was 17K SQ miles for A380 coach JFK-FRA
. Don't know what the fuel surcharge would be though ...
