About てくれてありがとう

As an extension of てくれる, which expresses that something was done for the speaker, or someone within their immediate circle, てくれてありがとう thanks someone for that action.

Caution

This expression is usually reserved for actions that clearly benefit the speaker. It would not sound natural when thanking someone for something that they are expected to do as part of their job, or due to simple etiquette.
