As above, just wondering what ppl usually redeem the reward points for ?
It seems it's not worth it to redeem some item from their catalogue or even giftcards.
From quick calculation it seems best to redeem it for frequent travel point such as krisflyer points etc.
But which one is the best in terms dollar value per reward point ?
I hope I make sense

The best value depends on you and what you want in life.I transfer what I can to Aadvantage because I want OS travel in premium classes.For 190000 miles I can get a J award rtw which will cost me ~ $A11000 a dollar value ~ $A0.06.
Now even if I could get the newest whizzbang coffee maker at a dollar value of $A0.10 it would be worthless to me as I wouldnt use it.
So everyone will have a slightly different answer according to their own particular values and desires.

hmm true
btw i found a great offer

nokia N82 titanium for 16100 points.
Code: 3727

it's a bargain i think.
from shopbot cheapest is around $530
ebay cheapest around $400++

Agreed, that definitely is a bargain compared to most of the items on offer in the store - great find! Might have to give it some consideration for Christmas presents .

Thank you very much for posting your find.

I was just thinking about buying a new phone, and this one has some interesting features which will keep me amused for some time!

I had not got around to redeeming anything from Citi rewards, so this will be an interesting first time. Hope to find something else interesting as well.

Cheers.

Just an update on the Nokia N82 offer.
Seems that they have changed it to include a freight charge, but reduced the points requirement.

Nokia N82 TITANIUM
Code: 3727
Freight Cost: $17.00
Reward Points: 12,800

This means that Citibank value 3,300 points for $17.00
So 1 point equals just over half a cent...?

I see this deal has hit ozbargain now, with one person saying that Citibank will be rejecting all orders (based on a phone conversation). It will be interesting to see if they honour it.

Ozbargain is useful to see keep an eye on bargains, but they have their own Chicken Littles as well. I suspect that if it was really an error, they would have removed it from the website by now. The N95/N93 switcheroo seems an interesting concept - I presume all 3 phones are of similar value/worth.

Interesting. I redeemed the N82 at 16100 points a week ago. Today I received a package and inside is a nice new N95. No complaints here!

Grab this while you can people.

I presume it was the Plum/purple model

Do you consider this N95-1 to be the same value/worth as a Titanium N82?
