Citi ThankYou Rewards credit cards

Citi is a great program for earning rewards with their transfer partners due to the excellent unlimited 3X earning rates of the Citi Strata Premier Card. It pretty much carries the program on its back. Pair it with the Citi® Double Cash Card or any of Citi's other cards and you're good to go.
