Citi Thank You Points

Citi recently announced that the fixed points for flights will no longer be available starting March 1st, 2009. This is a huge blow to the TYN program. Unfortunately, I have never paid much attention to the Thank You Points program until the party was almost over in the summer of 2007 as posted here on Flyertalk. However, after the devaluation, it continued to be an attractive option for miles and points connoisseurs. Because Thank you points were relatively easy to obtain and you can still get 3 cents per point using fixed points strategies for the domestic business class redemptions. The game was still good until now. After March 1st, I'll be using the Citi Platinium Amex card less and returning to one of my favorites, Starwood American Express Card.
