I did not. Citi TY points don't have a whole lot of value as a transfer partner for me outside of JetBlue, which I only use for South America and the Caribbean for personal travel. (I use them sparingly to get to BOS for work) I know that you can transfer to Avianica, Ethiad, etc. and get a backend value, but I haven't really seen it benefit my travel patterns. I'm lucky in that I have 5 easily accessible airports (Well, really 4) around me. So I can use points towards a myriad of airfare deals. For example, I used 10,560 Citi TY points to book JFK-LIS; LIS-MAD on TAP Portugal with no further out of pocket for taxes. Because TAP allows stopovers in LIS, it didn't cost me anything extra for the LIS-MAD leg. If I transferred points to another program, I would cost me triple the amount of points used for 2 segments + I would be out of pocket for taxes. I did the same thing for JFK-LIS-MUC on a trip in September for Oktoberfest. Rather than using 30K Chase points on Lufthansa by way of United, it cost me 17,912 Citi TY points, which aren't as valuable due to Chase's superior partner options. My sweet spot for airfare using points is $425.00 or under each way. I'm willing to pay a tad more if the carrier is a OneWorld partner to earn miles. If it's cheap, like my MAD-JFK flight, I just buy it outright.
Sometimes I use them for car rentals, especially in Europe where I can't do shit with my Hertz points because the automatic class always seems to be higher than the max award redemption class. Other times I use them for activities or airport transport. Instead of spending $69.00 to shuttle myself and 2 buddies from AMS to the Intercontinental, I redeemed 6,652 Citi TY points. I regularly book excursions with them as well. I used 16,211 Citi TY points + $73.30 to book my wife and I to Dunns River Falls, tubing and the Blue Hole in Ocho Rios rather than paying almost $450.00.
It really just depends what works best for you. A lot of people discount the straight travel feature of these kind of points redemptions because it gets ingrained that they are always a bad value. Not really. While I would rather fly AA and enjoy my status to FRA, I am perfectly fine using Citi TY points to book a direct flight on Lufthansa because they are running a sale to save my AA miles for another trip/class upgrade. Before I book, I always lookup my flight pairings on Google flights to see what the market is and decide from there.
