The launch comes nearly a year after Citi and Expedia began their relationship with the introduction of ThankYou Rewards Network on Expedia, which more than one million Expedia customers have joined.

Cardmembers who book travel with the card will reap the benefits of the Citi PremierPass Card. Now, with the new Citi PremierPass / Expedia.com Card, travelers earn ThankYou Points for everyday purchases made with the card, additional points for eligible travel booked on Expedia.com, and points for the miles they fly on any airline.

"This combination of ways to earn points is unique in the industry," stated a release.

"We heard from our customers that they want a way to earn points for all of their travel and across travel brands. They also want the ability to redeem their points for travel when they want, without blackout dates," said Paul Brown, President, Expedia North America.

"This card does all of that, and we believe it significantly enhances the value of ThankYou Network on Expedia," said Brown.

With the no-annual fee Citi PremierPass / Expedia.com Card, cardmembers will earn: Up to three points for every $1 spent on Expedia transactions: two points for eligible travel purchased on Expedia.com and one additional point for hotel, air + hotel, cruises or activities over $50 booked at Expedia.com, when the customer's ThankYou Member Account number has been registered at Expedia; one point for every three miles flown on ANY airline; One point for every $1 spent on all purchases; A $50 statement credit after first eligible purchase on Expedia.
