I’ve been looking into the new Citi Strata lineup, and it seems there’s something for every type of traveler. The no-fee Strata Card has a 30K point bonus, the Strata Premier $95 fee offers 60K points plus solid travel and dining categories, and the premium Strata Elite $595 fee brings 80K–100K points, lounge access, hotel credits, and more. Since all three earn Citi ThankYou points, pairing one with the no-fee Citi Double Cash could rack up rewards fast.
Personally, I’m leaning toward the Premier for its balance of perks and cost, but the in-branch 100K Elite bonus is tempting if you’d use the credits and lounges. If you travel often, these cards could be a great addition to your wallet. Which one would you go for value-friendly Premier or benefit-packed Elite?
