Update 2/15/21: Deal is back and valid for 15%. Hat tip to LightAcolyte
Update 11/29/20: 20% deal now live. Valid on Apple, Happy Dining, Fandango, PetSmart, and TopGolf gift cards.
Update 11/27/20: The November 27th offer for 15% off Apple, Chili’s, Happy Moments, Fandango, and Saks Fifth Avenue gift cards is now live now. There’s still supposed to be a different 20% off select gift cards on November 30th, but that one might be targeted and we don’t know which gift cards will be eligible for the discount.
Update 11/25/20: Others are reporting getting an offer for 15% off on November 27th.
Update 11/23/20: Reader anthonyjh21 was told via chat that the following gift cards will be eligible for the 20% redemptions discount: Apple, Happy Dining, Fandango, PetSmart, TopGolf.
The Offer
- On November 30th, Citi will be offering a 20% discount when redeeming ThankYou points for select gift cards.
For example, you’ll be able to buy $125 in gift cards for 10,000 ThankYou points with this discount (1.25 cents-per-point) whereas typically you’d only get $100 in gift cards.
Citi ThankYou has lots of nice gift cards available to stores like Apple, Best Buy, Target and more; we’ll have to wait and see if this offer ends up being for all gift card brands or only the less valuable ones. You can see which gift cards are available for ThankYou redemptions here, but the deal is not yet showing.
The Fine Print
- Valid on November 30 between 12:00am ET and 11:59pm ET
Our Verdict
Travelwithgrant got an email about this offer; I haven’t seen anything yet myself. I guess this will be a public deal available for everyone, but maybe it’s a targeted thing, we’ll see. This could be a worthwhile offer for some people. If you have a DoubleCash card, you can convert those point to ThankYou points to take advantage of this offer.

Deal is back just for today until 11:59 PM EST: 15% discount on ThankYou Points redeemed for Panera ($25 to $100), IHOP ($10 to $100), Bath & Body Works ($25 to $100), Domino’s ($10 to $100), PetSmart ($25 to $100), Sephora ($10 to $100), Staples ($25 to $100) and TopGolf ($25 to $100).
Got exactly same, useless though.
I tried to check out for staples but I dont see any discount. Is this targeted?
ok, i see this was just for yesterday
Any way to quickly see which gift cards are on discount?
Apple, Happy Dining, Fandango, PetSmart, TopGolf
Clarified in the post
This is not working for me on anything so far.
Should I cash in 80k TYP for $1,000 in Apple gift cards?
My one year on the Premier is coming up in January and I don’t plan to keep it though I might if they waive the AF. It just seems hard to cash out TYP with travel the way it is…
Keep in mind, if you’re planning to use on Apple.com or in-store, you can only use 8 at a time.
Got my iPhone 12 for the low price of $221.35 OTD 🙂
You sure the limit is for in-store purchases too?
You can apply to your gift card balance and use $2000 max in one transaction
Is there a limit to 8 gcs?
I felt the same way and cashed out my 64K in TY points for $800 toward a new MacBook Air. With my trade-in, that more than covers the cost. I don’t usually like to use points for anything other than travel, but I’m obviously not going to get to use these points for travel any time soon and Citi’s travel partners are not my fave anyway, so this felt like a good deal. I’ll also likely be closing my card next March when the AF comes around.
28% discount if you have Citi Rewards+ Card. Unfortunately for me, I already maxed out my 10% Points Back this year on $1000 mortgage check.
+1. This was a nice surprise as I forgot about the rebate on redemptions
If i close citi premier card early do i get prorated annual fee refunded?
