  • It offers 5× points on hotels, car rentals and attractions booked through Citi Travel, 3× on groceries, gas and a self-select category, and 2× on dining.
  • Points can be transferred to airline and hotel partners at a 1,000:700 ratio from the no-fee card, though American AAdvantage transfers remain exclusive to premium Strata products.
