Get 30% Bonus Points When You Transfer Citi Points Into Avios
You can get a 30% bonus for transfers from Citi to Qatar Avios through 5/31 at 4:59pm ET.
With this bonus, 1,000 Citi ThankYou points transfer into 1,300 Avios. While the terms state that the bonus Avios may not post until 6/30, readers report that the bonus points are awarded instantly.
In general, you shouldn’t transfer miles unless you have short-term plans to redeem them for flights.
It can be tricky to book Qatar awards, so read this post first to learn all about Qatar Avios.
You can also transfer Qatar Avios to BA, Finnair, Iberia, or Aer Lingus Avios. You can combine Avios via this link via the BA site here or on the Qatar site here.
Avios aren’t what they used to be. British Airways seems to devalue them every few months, bringing them from first to worst in no time.
You can save with the Qatar award chart or the Finnair award chart, which is the only Avios program that doesn’t charge per leg flown, though both Qatar and Finnair recently devalued their Avios.
You can search for award availability using BA Avios here. Finnair or Qatar should be able to book any award space that you find using BA Avios for fewer Avios, but you may need to call them or chat to book.
