Annual Fee:
- Thank You Points can be transferred to a variety of partners like JetBlue, Avianca, Turkish Airways, Choice, and more. Points double when transferred to Choice!
- You can also cash out your points. Each point is worth 1 cent. 70,000 points = $700. (After 8/24/25, points can be cashed out for .75 cents per point.)
- My favorite redemptions on this card are Ascend Properties in the US, Choice Hotels in Europe, Preferred Hotels with Choice, and redeeming for tickets to Hawaii.
This card is a new card and existing Citi Premier customers have been converted to this one. Citi was very stingy with approvals for the Citi Premier so we don't know yet how stingy they will be with the Strata Premier. The extended warranty is the best of all the starter cards and offers an additional 2 years of protection on items you purchase.
An offer of 75,000 points ended in April 2025. The previous version (Citi Premier) had a standard offer of 60,000 points. We saw some 80,000 point offers as well — the last one expired in January 2023.
