With 15 airline transfer partners and five hotel programs, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/citi-thankyou-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Citi ThankYou points<\/a> can be some of the most lucrative flexible points you can have.<\/p>\n<p>Citi ThankYou has an infuriatingly complex points expiration policy. So, the answer to the question: &#8216;do Citi ThankYou points expire?' is tricky, to say the least. Your points are generally safe as long as your account is open and in good standing. However, be aware that you'll find <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thankyou.com\/cms\/thankyou\/tc.page?pageName=tc&src=TYUSENG\" rel=\"noopener\">multiple exceptions and different expiration deadlines<\/a>\u00a0depending on how you earned your points.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Do_Citi_ThankYou_Points_Expire\">Do Citi ThankYou Points Expire?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a rule of thumb, Citi ThankYou points do not expire. However, Citi has different <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thankyou.com\/cms\/thankyou\/tc.page?pageName=tc\" rel=\"noopener\">expiration policies<\/a> for some of its older cards. We break down all of this by card below.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you can start the clock on expiration by transferring points to another Citi cardholder or closing your account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-blue\"><strong>Track your points and miles expiration for 620+ loyalty programs and get email alerts before your miles expire by <a href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/register?ref=235&#038;code=\" =_blank>signing up for a free AwardWallet account<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144343 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Citi-ThankYou-points-can-be-some-of-the-most-lucrative-around-scott-webb-unsplash-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"the facade of Citi plaza London Canada\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Citi-ThankYou-points-can-be-some-of-the-most-lucrative-around-scott-webb-unsplash-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Citi-ThankYou-points-can-be-some-of-the-most-lucrative-around-scott-webb-unsplash-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Citi-ThankYou-points-can-be-some-of-the-most-lucrative-around-scott-webb-unsplash-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Citi-ThankYou-points-can-be-some-of-the-most-lucrative-around-scott-webb-unsplash-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Citi-ThankYou-points-can-be-some-of-the-most-lucrative-around-scott-webb-unsplash-325x260.jpg 325w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Citi-ThankYou-points-can-be-some-of-the-most-lucrative-around-scott-webb-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Citi_ThankYou_Point_Expiration_Policies\">Citi ThankYou Point Expiration Policies<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When your ThankYou Points expire (or don't expire) varies depending on what credit card you have and whether you have points earned from another card.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Citi_cards_with_no_expiration\">Citi cards with no expiration<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Citi ThankYou points earned from any of the following cards do not expire as long as you keep your account open:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Citi Custom Cash<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Citi Double Cash<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card (<a data-ccid=\"3002009\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=a3pDkecFgAg&offerid=951783.4206&type=3&subid=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Citi Strata\u2120 Card (<a data-ccid=\"241\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=a3pDkecFgAg&offerid=1960645.4297&type=3&subid=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Citi Strata Premier<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card (<a data-ccid=\"520083\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=a3pDkecFgAg&offerid=1978593.4328&type=3&subid=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Citi Strata Elite\u2120 Card (<a data-ccid=\"242\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=a3pDkecFgAg&offerid=1978593.4347&type=3&subid=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Citi Prestige<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Citi Rewards+<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Citi ThankYou<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Preferred Card<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>CitiBusiness<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> ThankYou<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>AT&T Access Card from Citi<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>AT&T Access More Card from Citi<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>AT&T Points Plus<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>AT&T Universal Rewards World MasterCard<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, if you hold one of these &#8220;no expiration&#8221; cards after a product change from a previous card, the points earned from the previous card will have a different expiration deadline as follows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/citi-thankyou-rewards\/how-to-earn-citi-points\/\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Earn Citi ThankYou<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Points<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Citi_cards_with_special_expiration_terms\">Citi cards with special expiration terms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The points earned on that former card before the product change will expire at the end of their natural cycle per the initial card membership agreement.
