Question
Don't know how useful this would be to non-ABA members, but perhaps Citibank has similar programs for other groups. Seems like a different concept - I'd like to get your input!

Earn travel rewards simply by using your credit card.
For every dollar you spend on purchases with your enrolled credit card, you'll automatically earn one TravelerMile. Use your card for everyday expenses – like clothing, gas, groceries or dining out – and for major purchases, too. Use your credit card and earn TravelerMiles. It's that easy.
Earn travel discounts faster – with as few as 6,000 TravelerMiles.
Unlike a lot of other travel programs, you don't have to collect tens of thousands of points before you can cash in. Accumulate just 6,000 TravelerMiles points and redeem them for a $100 discount on air travel, domestic or international, on any major airline! Up to $400 in discounts may be applied to a single ticket.
Fly FREE sooner – with just 24,000 TravelerMiles!
Accumulate 24,000 TravelerMiles points and redeem them for one FREE round-trip coach ticket* on any major U.S. airline to any destination within the contiguous United States.
You pick the airline. You pick the day.
You choose the major airline you want to fly and when you want to fly. You can use your TravelerMiles 365 days a year – even on holidays. There are no blackout periods.

Answer
I'm pretty sure that Travelmiles is a Citibank USA program, not to be confused with the other Citibank (that has AA, etc.).
Answer
You are right. Is there any real difference? ANy experiences with them?

I LOVE this card! All the hype has proved true for me . . . especially great is that you can get a domestic award for less than 24K miles when fares are low . . . rather than spending 24K for a domestic award ticket (or 25K with airline programs), spend 2 or 3 vouchers when prices allow -- using only 12 or 18K miles -- AND get miles for the flight!
(Altho' I thought they had upped the ante to 8K miles for a $100 voucher . . . yup! they have for the nonABA card . . . those of us who have the card are grandfathered to the 6K level . . . this is a good thing!)
