What Ben Likes

The Citi Strata Elite is Citi's premium flagship card, offering a Priority Pass Select membership, four annual Admirals Club lounge passes, and up to $700 in annual credits across hotel, Splurge, and Blacklane categories, though not everyone will be able to maximize all of them. The rewards structure is interesting, with 12x points on Citi Travel® hotel and rental car bookings, 6x points on dining with Citi Nights℠ on Friday and Saturday nights, and 3x points on dining at all other times, plus a solid 1.5x points on everyday spending. The $200 Splurge Credit is pretty easy to use toward an American Airlines ticket, and the $300 hotel credit is straightforward to maximize with a two-night prepaid stay through Citi Travel. It's best for those who value lounge access, occasionally fly American, and can take advantage of the credits, and becomes even more compelling as part of a broader Citi ThankYou ecosystem alongside the Double Cash or Strata Premier for everyday spending.
