Gift cards are offered in denominations of $10, $25, $50, $100, and $250. So with this promotion, a $25 gift card that normally costs 2,500 points drops to 2,250 points.<\/p>\n<p>To receive the discount on these gift cards, log in to your Citi dashboard to complete your purchase.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Key_terms\">Key terms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is a straightforward promotion, so the list of terms is rather short:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchase these select gift cards with a 10% discount using your Citi ThankYou Points.<\/li>\n<li>These promotions end on <strong>June 11, 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Available to all Citi cardholders with cards that earn ThankYou Points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Is_This_Promotion_Worth_It\">Is This Promotion Worth It?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This promotion lets you get 1.11\u00a2 per point from your Citi ThankYou Points. That's a modest return compared to other redemption options. On average, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/point-mile-values\/Citi\" rel=\"noopener\">AwardWallet users redeem Citi points at 2.31\u00a2 per point<\/a> when utilizing transfer partners like Virgin Atlantic or Turkish Airlines. That's a big difference!<\/p>\n<p>While redeeming points for gift cards isn\u2019t the most lucrative option, it can make sense if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need immediate savings on everyday expenses.<\/li>\n<li>You were already planning to redeem points for gift cards at these specific brands.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re not planning to transfer Citi points for travel in the near future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just note that you might also get a better deal on some of these gift cards through another outlet, such as Costco. Furthermore, we've seen Citi promotions for 15% off gift cards in the past, so maybe you'll want to hold out to see if that offer returns. After all, Citi frequently offers gift card promotions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/citi-thankyou-rewards\/citi-transfer-partners\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Citi ThankYou Transfer Partners: Ultimate Guide to Best Transfer Partners<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Need_More_Citi_ThankYou_Points\">Need More Citi ThankYou Points?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Maybe this gift cards are one of your go-to Citi ThankYou Points redemptions, or perhaps this post has inspired you to explore other <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/citi-thankyou-rewards\/redeem-citi-points\/\" rel=\"noopener\">ways to use your Citi points<\/a>.
