Our Take
Citi is an advertising partner.
This card is basically a premium version of the Citi Strata Premier® Card. The ThankYou Points can either be used to book travel (airfare, hotels, etc.) via Citi Travel® or transferred to any of Citi’s transfer partners, which include 14 airlines and four hotels. Most, but not all, of the transfer rates are 1:1. The $300 Annual Hotel Benefit helps offset the annual fee, but in order to take advantage of this credit, you have to book your stay through Citi Travel.
