Strata Premier

AF $95

What it is

The Strata Premier is a Citi card earning ThankYou Points. For most, its value is mostly up front in the welcome bonus rather than ongoing perks. Citi's transferable-points travel card — ThankYou Points transfer to airline and hotel partners, and the annual hotel credit offsets much of the fee if you book through Citi Travel. A solid mid-tier keeper for portal bookers.
