The "thank you" program actually changes prices of their merchandise based on your "status". I have their credit card so I am a "preferred member". My husband only earns points from having a bank account at citibank. Even though he earns 3x as many points as I do they charge him a premium for merchandise. For example, we were going to get a cable modem. My price was 8,500 points. His price 11,500 points. I hate complicated programs. My suggestion -- go DISCOVER and keep it simple.
