Citi points needed is the award price converted at the listed ratio and rounded up, before any transfer bonus. Banks may transfer only in fixed increments. Taxes and fees are paid in cash. Check current transfer bonuses. Most transfers can't be reversed.

Prices are one-way per traveler: the program's points or miles plus taxes and carrier fees in USD, as AwardTool observed them at the time shown. Award space changes constantly. A seat we saw may be gone, and space we haven't seen may exist. Always confirm with a live search before transferring points; most transfers can't be reversed.

How this page is built

Ratios and transfer times are copied as written from AwardTool's transfer partner list, last reviewed Aug 27, 2026. Banks add and drop partners and change ratios, so confirm the current terms with the bank before you transfer.

Award figures come from AwardTool's cached award searches across 29 loyalty programs, observed in the last 30 days. Each price is the lowest one-way award seen per passenger, with taxes and fees in USD. A missing value means AwardTool hasn't seen that award recently, not that none exists.
