You can get a 25% bonus on transfers from Citi to Leaders Club through 8/23/25 at 11:59pm. This is only the 2nd ever bonus on transfers to Leaders Club, the loyalty program for The Leading Hotels Of The World.
1,000 Citi points normally transfers into 200 Leaders Club points, but will become 250 points with this bonus.
Each Leaders point is worth about 8 cents each, though it can be as high as 10 cents each in some cases. Combined with the Citi transfer bonus, that’s a value of 2-2.5 cents each per Citi point, which makes for some incredible hotel redemption options!
With a Citi Bifecta of Double Cash and Premier, you’ll earn 2 or 3 points per dollar everywhere. That’s like earning 4%-6% or more back for Accor Hotels with this offer!

It’s always hard to find points hotels in Israel, so it’s worth noting that the country has 3 eligible hotels. In Jerusalem there is the fabled King David Hotel and in Tel Aviv there is the Setai Tel Aviv and the Dan Tel Aviv.
I joined the Leaders Club program last year and was offered 500 points in a welcome email for entering all of my profile details. That’s equal to $40 of points!
Points don’t expire if you earn or redeem points every 24 months.
