    It didn't mention it when I did it, or when they sent me the welcome package. I had to call them to confirm that I was getting it. My first statement posted a few days ago and there were no problems with the points.

    But like the article says, I would definitely take a screenshot of the promo just in case.

    I have two new Citi cards. Thanks, Cashback!

    What's the best way to redeem ThankYou points?
    Credit cards from banks, deposits in credit unions.

    Amazon gift cards (or any merchant gift card), mortgage payment, or student loan payment. All of those are 1:1 redemption values.

    I'm going to test it out for myself, but other people have reported being able to cash the mortgage payment check into their own bank account.

    Let me know if sending a check to yourself works. If not, the gift card options look OK (also 1:1).

    Gift cards are alright, but I'm planning on getting about 3-4K worth of rewards from this card and I want that money in my bank account!
