Citibank Premier Rewards Best Option for Points Transfer

[flyfl]

Hi I've got Citibank Premier credit card rewards points. I'll be closing this credit card due to the fact that they have stopped pay all option. And I would like to transfer the rewards points to a Frequent Flyer program however I'm not sure which Frequent Flyer program is best to transfer the points to.
I've already got points with the velocity and Qantas, however I'm weighing up the options between Etihad and Qatar Airways, what is the recommended option here?
Which would be a better option what is your thoughts?

This is way too hard to answer. It’s down to you, where you want to go in future, how many people you normally get awards for etc.

Thanks for the response, its mainly myself that travel and I mainly travel to Southeast Asia or Central Asia via Turkey.
It's more in terms of rewards seat availability and the number of points needed for Business Class tickets.

If you have a Premier card, then your only options are Velocity and KrisFlyer (Singapore).

You need the Prestige card for the full partner list. If that's what you actually have, Qatar is probably the best option as you need only 90000 Avios for one way business class seat to Europe. And Etihad fly out of only SYD and MEL, which may or not be an issue depending on where you are.

Thanks, I have both Premier and Prestige but I am referring to Prestige card here.
I am based in Melbourne and will check out Qatar further.

The transfer rate between Citi Rewards and Avios is 3 to 1 versus the transfer rate of 2 to 1 for Velocity. Considering most Qatar flights can be booked with Velocity points, is Velocity an option here too? Although I suppose the base number of points is higher on Velocity.
