Overview

  • - The card’s Priority Pass Select membership works by presenting the Strata Elite card at the lounge, with up to two complimentary guests and no separate enrollment required.
  • - Authorized users can receive Priority Pass access for a $75 fee per user, and the membership excludes restaurant, cafe and market credits.
  • - Four Admirals Club day passes are issued per calendar year to the cardholder’s AAdvantage wallet, typically posting within minutes of approval and valid for 24 hours after activation for an adult plus up to three children.
  • - Reports from an ORD visit describe agents initially unfamiliar with scanning the new digital day-pass QR codes, though access was granted once passes and boarding cards were scanned in sequence.
  • - Key calendar-year credits include a $300 hotel rebate for pre-paid 2+ night Citi Travel bookings applied at checkout, a $200 Splurge credit across selected merchants (including American Airlines and Best Buy) after registration, and Blacklane credits of $100 in each half of the year, alongside an 80,000-point welcome bonus.
