The Citi ThankYou program has just launched a new transfer bonus, in addition to the one to I Prefer Hotel Rewards. While I personally won’t be taking advantage of this, it’s still worth covering, in case it’s useful to anyone.
Citi offering 25% Wyndham transfer bonus
Between May 17 and June 13, 2026, the Citi ThankYou program in the United States is offering a 25% bonus on points transfers to Wyndham Rewards.
Ordinarily points transfer at a 1:1 ratio (in 1,000 point increments), while through this promotion you’d get 1,250 Wyndham Rewards points for every 1,000 Citi ThankYou points transferred.
This promotion is being offered on Citi’s end (in the United States), and is hard coded into the transfer ratio, meaning you should see the bonus at the time that you make the transfer. You can take advantage of this offer an unlimited number of times. Points transfers from Citi to Wyndham are generally instant.
Wyndham Rewards was added as a Citi ThankYou transfer partner in 2021, and this is the sixth transfer bonus that we’ve seen to the program. There are several great cards earning Citi ThankYou points, including the Citi Strata Premier® Card (review) and Citi Strata Elite℠ Card (review), and it’s easy to combine points between the cards.
Should you transfer Citi points to Wyndham Rewards?
While everyone should crunch the numbers for themselves, I’d argue that you generally shouldn’t transfer your Citi ThankYou points to Wyndham Rewards, even with a 25% bonus.
Personally I value Wyndham Rewards points at 0.7 cents each, so even with a 25% bonus, you’re getting under a cent of value per ThankYou point, by my valuation. Furthermore, Wyndham Rewards often has promotions on buying points, which is an opportunity to acquire these points for under a cent each.
For context, Wyndham Rewards properties cost either 7,500, 15,000, or 30,000 points per night, and while there are some premium properties, they’re the exception rather than the norm. I just don’t see too much upside there. This feels like one of those transfer partners that should have a better than 1:1 transfer ratio as a standard.
Bottom line
Through June 13, 2026, the Citi ThankYou program is offering a 25% bonus on points transfers to Wyndham Rewards. For a vast majority of people, this isn’t even worth considering. I value Wyndham Rewards points at 0.7 cents each, so even with a 25% bonus, you’re getting very poor value. However, perhaps there are some situations where people can find a good opportunity, or at least top off an account for a useful redemption.
Does anyone plan on taking advantage of this Citi transfer bonus to Wyndham Rewards?
