Citi is offering $75 off $750+ hotel bookings with code TY75HOTEL for bookings between November 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.
Update (Nov 1, 2019): This code works towards online ThankYou Point bookings
—
It’s unclear [to me] whether you can use this code for bookings paid for with ThankYou Points, though I am hopeful.
For certain cardholders, there could be a potential here to stack:
- 4th night free with Prestige
- 25% uplift with Premier
- 10% rebate with Rewards+
- This $75 off $750 code
Since the code isn’t acitve yet, it’s unclear whether it can reduce the price of bookings paid for with ThankYou Points. But if it can, under just the right circumstances, it could create strong value for bank points enthusiasts.
The Citi portal has a tendency to inflate hotel prices. And some hotels aren’t listed in the portal at all. And bookings through third parties like the portal will cause most loyalty hotels to not honor status benefits. But other than that: Great deal! 😉
One silver lining is that you can combine multiple hotel bookings to reach the $750 threshold. And you can book 330 days out. But still, it seems like you’d really need fortunate alignment of demand schedule with this promotion for it to be highly impactful.
