Do you have a massive balance of Citi ThankYou rewards sitting idle? While Citi offers various redemption options, they rarely provide the same value as cold, hard cash. At The Points King, we make it easy to sell Citi ThankYou points at competitive market rates, ensuring you get the maximum value for your earned rewards.
Citi ThankYou points are among the most flexible rewards in the travel industry. However, navigating transfer partners and “blackout dates” can be a headache. When you choose to sell Citi ThankYou rewards to us, you bypass the complexity of the travel market.
Instead of waiting for a “saver” award seat to open up, you can take your payout and spend it however you like—whether that’s paying off your monthly statement, investing, or booking a vacation on your own terms.

Yes. It is perfectly legal to sell your rewards. While credit card issuers prefer you use their internal portals for lower-value redemptions (like gift cards or merchandise), you have the right to get more value for your points.
The Points King has been a trusted leader in the industry since 2006, specializing in high-value, secure transactions for Citi cardholders.
Don’t let your points devalue or expire. Whether you have 50,000 or 1,000,000+ points, we are looking for:
Citi Prestige® Card rewards
Citi Strata Premier℠ Card rewards
Citi ThankYou® Preferred rewards
For example: by linking a Citibank checking account with a Citi ThankYou Rewards account a member can earn many more points, and also by setting up direct deposits and one bill payments.
Why should I sell my Citi points instead of using Citi’s “Cash Back” option?
While Citi allows you to redeem points for cash or statement credits directly, they often devalue them. Depending on your card (like the Citi Strata℠), Citi might only give you 0.5 to 0.8 cents per point. By selling to The Points King, you tap into the “Travel Transfer” value of your points, which can net you 1.1 to 1.4 cents per point—nearly double what the bank offers.
For Citi ThankYou rewards, we generally require a minimum of 50,000 points. For bulk sellers (balances over 500,000), we offer “Preferred Rates” which are significantly higher than the standard market price.
While we can evaluate any balance, the highest rates are reserved for “Premium” accounts that allow for airline transfers. These include:
Payouts depend on the current demand for Citi’s travel partners (like Virgin Atlantic or Avios). Here are three common scenarios:
| Points Balance | Citi Direct Cash Out (Est.) | The Points King Payout (Est.) | Your “King” Bonus |
| 50,000 | $250 – $400 | $600 | +$200 |
| 150,000 | $750 – $1,200 | $1,950 | +$750 |
| 500,000 | $2,500 – $4,000 | $7,250 | +$3,250 |
Note: Estimates are based on a 1.3 – 1.45 cent rate. [Request a live quote] for today’s exact pricing.
We pride ourselves on being the fastest in the industry. Once we verify your Citi account balance:
Verification: 1–4 hours.
Payment: Sent immediately via PayPal or Zelle.
Total Time: Most clients have cash in hand within the same business day.
Citi ThankYou points do not expire as long as your account is open and active. However, if you plan on closing your card, Citi gives you a strict 60-day window to use them before they are forfeited. If you are planning to cancel a card with a high annual fee, selling your points first is the best way to “liquidate” that asset.
We understand the hesitation. We recommend you change your Citi password to a temporary password before sharing it with our verification team. Once the transaction is complete and you have received your funds, you can change it back. We never store your sensitive data, and we use SSL-encrypted protocols for all communications.
Be careful! Citi has a “Points Sharing” feature, but those shared points expire 90 days after the transfer. If you have “Shared” points, please let us know immediately so we can prioritize your transaction before they vanish.
