Citi ThankYou points can be converted into LifeMiles at a 1:1 ratio. The Citi ThankYou transfer pagehas already been updated to reflect this. Of the ”big three” transferable points currencies, Citi ThankYou is the first to partner with LifeMiles, and this is a great development.

Thanks for the heads up!
I am because I need to get rid of my Citi types from the premier card. I also have the prestige but didn’t find a great use for the miles (my wife also had TYPs which we used up when we could get 1.6 cents per points).
Between transferring by balance to Cathay Asia Miles or lifemiles, which would you choose.
(I have 60k in each already).
Good news! I use LifeMiles between Chile and Peru when visiting family. Awards are super-cheap compared to cash prices. I've always had to buy miles during promotions but this will help a lot.
The stated JetBlue transfer rate is incorrect.
1,000 to 800 (Prestige, Premier) or 1,000 to 500 (Preferred)
Too bad the Lifemiles program has been busted with the introduction of their new website
Lucky,
You mention the "big three" transferrable points currencies in the article, with Citi ThankYou points being one of them. I'm curious to know what you consider the other two to be.
To my mind the "big three" would have been Starwood SPG points, Amex Membership Rewards points and Chase Ultimate Rewards points. Citi Thank you points would have been number four to my head, so I'm wondering which of those three you would not include in a "big three" group, and why you would view Citi Thank you points as being so much bigger than them.
@Stvr
Sent transfer request 8 hours ago, email says "most transfers are completed within minutes" but no LifeMiles in my account.
You mention "For example, they often block awards in Lufthansa first class, Austrian business class, all Air China flights, etc."
Can you expand/provide a full list regarding which Star Alliance awards they block?
I sent a request this morning.... 63K for a Turkish flight SFO-ZAG. Anyone else have any data points how long this takes to transfer? I hope this Turkish flight is still available whenever the miles show.
Also anyone with Avianca experience. I am flying from SEA. The United SEA - SFO doesn't show up when I put in SEA-ZAG, but if I put in SEA-SFO it does show up... I might have to call but any help would be appreciated!
