Leading Hotels of the World (LHW): Instant Citi ThankYou Point Transfers (1000:200) & 500 Bonus Points for Completing Profile

Updated 10/18/23 at 5pm PT: ~24 hours after completing my profile, I received the 500 bonus points. 


Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I had a great time presenting at the Chicago Seminars over the weekend and seeing some new and familiar faces.  Yesterday, Frequent Miler wrote a post about Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) becoming the latest Citi ThankYou Point transfer partner.  More transfer partners are always appreciated, so I decided to sign up for a free LHW account and search around.  As of today (October 17), there are 415 high end boutique properties spread out across the world.
