I just found out that the Citi Strata Elite card gives eight Admirals Club passes in your first year and it’s not even widely advertised. Here’s how it works: you get four passes per calendar year, not cardmember year, which means if you open the card late in the year, you can snag four passes for that year and another four in the next. These get sent straight to your AAdvantage wallet and are valid for 24 hours perfect for layovers.
I used one recently at DCA and was shocked by how seamless it was. The pass even lets in a guest plus up to three kids under 18. For someone who travels mostly economy, this was such a solid touch of luxury. Anyone else planning to double-dip this benefit by opening the card late in the year?
