"We want our members to have the choice of using their points when and how they want," said Mary Hines Droesch, Head of ThankYou Rewards at Citi. "Whether you want to pay this month's cell phone or utility bill due next week, ThankYou Rewards lets you decide how you use your points."

With just a few clicks, Citi ThankYou Rewards members can use their ThankYou Points - and their ThankYou enrolled consumer checking account - to pay bills online. Here's how Online Bill Pay with Points works:

Log on to citibank.com.
Go to Pay Bills, and select Make a One-Time Payment and a payee.
Select the ThankYou Rewards Account and enter the dollar amount of the payment that you'd like to cover using ThankYou Points. For example, enter $50 and the ThankYou Points needed to cover that amount - 7,692 - will be automatically calculated.
To use both points and cash to pay a bill, enter the dollar amount you want to cover using points and the remaining cash amount from your checking account.
Choose a Citibank checking account and select a date to schedule the payment. On the day of the scheduled payment, points will be redeemed for cash and deposited into the customer's checking account. The full bill payment will then be paid from the checking account on that day.
