This transfer bonus promotion has ended.
Citi ThankYou Rewards is currently offering a 25% bonus for transfers to Hilton Honors. Through September 20, 2017, you will receive 2 Hilton Honors points for every Citi ThankYou point transferred. This represents a 33% bonus on transfers since normally you receive 1.5 Hilton points per ThankYou point.
Key Terms and Conditions
The deal is very straightforward with few terms and conditions:
- Offer valid through September 20, 2017
- You receive 2 Hilton Honors points per Citi ThankYou point
- Points must be transferred in 1,000-point increments
- The maximum transfer is 500,000 points per transaction, however, there is no upper limit on the total points that can be transferred.

Citi ThankYou Building Value
Citi ThankYou Rewards is slowly but surely adding value to its program to compete in the lucrative rewards credit card market.
Every few months the company will offer a transfer bonus to one of the Citi ThankYou transfer partners; the last transfer bonus was to JetBlue in March. Citi has also been busy adding new partners to enhance and improve the value of its program. With all the minor improvements, the Citi cards stack up relatively well against other premium cards.
Overall
While a 25% bonus is generous, it is not going to set the world alight. While it may be worth it to transfer a few thousand points to hit a specific award that you are short for, it is probably not worth it just moving the points on the strength of the bonus alone. Looking at all the options, if you don’t need the Hilton points there are better options to use your Thank You points.
