A lot all at once here but first, there is a new 25% transfer bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou to Leaders Club.
All of my commentary on the value of the offer is in that link above, which was just sent out to Transfer Bonus Alert subscribers as well.
Additionally, and this may be a transfer bonus or it may be a mistake (I’m truly not sure so an alert is not going out for this one, but transfers to Accor are, as of this second, listed as 1:1 (normal is 2:1) so it would be a 100% transfer bonus which isn’t crazy since that makes the Citi point worth about 2.3 cents (Accor ALL points are worth 2 Euro cents each or about 2.3 USD cents).
If that is a transfer bonus but just not labeled, it should be labeled soon. If it’s not a transfer bonus, then I would expect it to be pulled soon.
Lastly, while we thought we’d see full details on the new Strata Elite card today, I don’t see anything live (and didn’t have a Citi branch locally open on a Sunday to try) but apparently the card was on their site briefly 14 hours ago? This is based on a simple Google search.
Looks pretty snazzy. It’s not on the site now, though. Maybe tomorrow?

I just processed two transfers and both hit accor 9 minutes later.
Sent 45000 for a trip to Europe next year. Unfortunately, it was all I had left.
