We’ve just seen a transfer bonus introduced from Citi ThankYou to Accor Live Limitless, and it has the potential to be a very good deal. We saw a similar promotion a little over a year ago, so it’s nice to see this return.
In this post:
Transfer Citi ThankYou points to Accor ALL with a 50% bonus
Between Sunday, June 22, and Saturday, July 19, 2025, you can receive a 50% bonus when you transfer points from the Citi ThankYou program (in the United States) to Accor Live Limitless (ALL). Ordinarily points transfer at a 1,000:500 ratio, while through this promotion you’d get 750 Accor points for every 1,000 Citi ThankYou points transferred.
There’s no limit to how often you can take advantage of this promotion, and there’s no registration required. This is being offered on Citi’s end, so make sure you see the bonus reflected before you transfer points.
There are several great cards earning Citi ThankYou points, including the Citi Strata Premier® Card (review), and it’s easy to combine points between the cards.
Should you transfer Citi points to Accor?
Accor Live Limitless is probably the most straightforward hotel program out there on the redemption side. The program is fully revenue based, and you can swap every 2,000 Accor points for €40 off your hotel bill. Put differently, every 1,000 Citi points converts into 750 Accor points, and those points are enough for €15 (~$17) off a hotel stay. You can redeem as many points as you’d like toward a hotel stay.
So this is an opportunity to redeem your Citi ThankYou points as cash toward any Accor hotel stay at the rate of 1.7 cents (USD) each. That’s not a half bad rate at which to cash out transferable points, and is way better than the 1.0 cents of value you can get per point toward the cost of a flight or hotel stay under normal circumstances with Citi ThankYou.
Accor has quite the diverse hotel portfolio, including everything from Raffles, Banyan Tree, Fairmont, and Sofitel, in the premium sector, to Mercure, Novotel, ibis, and 25h, in the upscale and economy sector.
Bottom line
Through July 19, 2025, you can receive a 50% bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou points to Accor Live Limitless. With the bonus, you’ll receive 750 Accor points for every 1,000 Citi points. This is essentially a way to cash out your Citi ThankYou points for Accor hotel vouchers at the rate of €15 per 1,000 Citi points.
While you can get more value with your points with aspirational flight redemptions, this is one of the highest value offers we’ve ever seen for transferable points when redeeming them for a cash like rewards currency.
Do you plan on taking advantage of this 50% bonus on Citi to Accor transfers?
Don’t Accor LL points expire after 12 months? I’d *love* to try out their program especially on vacation travel, but 12 months and a hard expiration feature basically screams DON’T. While I’d transfer for a particular upcoming aspirational stay, I just can’t see deciding to participate as an alternative my current programs, given their property footprint in the US.
Fantastic! I’ll be able to add these to my Mesa transfers for Fairmont Banff/Chateau Lake Louise/Jasper. Thank you for the heads up.
(good opp for transfer while can still also receive .10 points back with Rewards+ til July 20)
Hoping for chase, Amex or Cap one bonus. Some great raffles hotels!
Accor has many good mid-level properties in Europe, where my favorite chain, "Hyatt", does not. I got a Strata card to supliment my Chase points for different transfer partners. The other thing I like about the Strata card is how fast I'm earning points because of the 3x earning on so many catagories that I use every day.
No comments on this opportunity. Ben, don't read that as no one cares. Keep up the endless stream of good info. Not sure when you sleep.

Accor Live Limitless at a transfer bonus from Citi Thank You points has value to me, as I plan to book a few Sofitel properties in the coming months. But I routinely get an equal return from KLM-AF on Economy tickets (25K with short notice usually available for my routes transatlantic), and when they pop up, Premium Econ and Business.
