3. Secure Your Award Flight

After successfully transferring your Citi ThankYou® Points to your airline partner, the final step involves booking your award flight. To accomplish this, log in to your airline loyalty account and initiate a search for available award flights. For efficiency, you can utilize AwardTool to search for award flights across major airline loyalty programs, so you don't need to visit each airline's website individually.

Please be mindful that the availability of award flights can fluctuate, so it's advisable to initiate your search well in advance of your intended travel date. It is always prudent to confirm your desired award flight directly on the airline's website before proceeding with the transfer of your Citi ThankYou® Points, as point transfers cannot be reversed.
