Citi's ThankYou Network, one of the
world's largest loyalty programs, has unveiled an enhanced online Bonus
Center that will help its millions of members make shopping more
affordable and rewarding this holiday season.
Members now have access to hundreds of ways to earn extra ThankYou
points by shopping through the Bonus Center at ThankYou.com, in addition
to money-saving opportunities such as special discounts, free shipping,
and limited time offers -- a compounded benefit that will help manage
tight budgets and get more out of the holiday shopping season. Through
the Bonus Center members can search over 20 million products quickly and
easily while comparing prices and bonus points from more than 400
leading online, in-store and catalog merchants receive the best overall
value.
Just in time for holiday shopping, ThankYou Members can now gain even
more value from the Bonus Center with new benefits such as:
* Daily Deal: where members can earn at least 15 points per dollar
spent on limited quantities of hot new items offered daily.
* MegaEarn Offers: where members can earn hundreds of extra points
on brand name merchandise and entertainment.
* OpenTable® Dining Reservations: where members can earn ThankYou
bonus points for booking dining reservations online at more than 11,000
participating restaurants -- and earn additional points when they pay
for their meal with a Citi credit card that has ThankYou Network as its
rewards program.
* Discounts and Deals: where members can benefit from discount
offers, free shipping, and free gift with purchase deals in addition to
ThankYou points they are already earning.
"Members truly will have a more rewarding holiday season when they shop
through the Bonus Center," said Nancy Gordon, executive vice president,
Citi's ThankYou Network. "This year especially, people are looking for
extra value and creative ways to maximize their budgets. Our Members
want to earn the most points for their shopping, so the Bonus Center is
helping them achieve that goal. And the great news is that the extra
earn opportunities are good throughout the year."
All those extra earned points, says Gordon, can be used to choose from
millions of rewards, including merchandise with expedited shipping
options, online travel reservations powered by Expedia.com, gift cards,
cash, statement credits, and even payments on mortgages and student loans.
The latest addition to the ThankYou Network rewards collection is Music
Downloads from Sony Music Entertainment. For only 100 points per song,
Members can enjoy many of the biggest artists in the history of recorded
music and also receive selected advance release offers on new albums.
Since its inception in 2004, Citi's ThankYou Network has been a pioneer
in rewards programs, allowing members to pool points from multiple
activities so they can earn and redeem points faster. Citi ThankYou
Members can earn points from activities across a range of Citi
businesses, such as having an eligible checking account and conducting
every day banking activities with Citibank, by using participating Citi
credit cards or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney FMA Cards. ThankYou Members
can also get points by booking eligible travel at Expedia®, or by
shopping through the ThankYou Bonus Center managed by Vesdia Corporation.
