Citi Strata Elite Rolls Out 100,000-Point Bonus With AAdvantage Transfer Access

Overview

• Citi is offering 100,000 points after $6,000 in purchases within three months on the Strata Elite, and current Strata Premier and Prestige cardholders are eligible.
• ThankYou points now transfer to American Airlines AAdvantage alongside a broad roster of airline and hotel partners across oneworld, Star Alliance, SkyTeam, and select independents.
• Unbonused purchases earn 1.5x points, enabling faster AAdvantage mileage accrual than most American Airlines cobranded cards, though these points do not count toward status.
• Calendar‑year benefits can often be used twice in the first membership year, including a $300 Citi Travel hotel credit for 2+ night stays, a $200 Splurge credit at select merchants, and $100 Blacklane credits in each half of the year.
• Perks include Priority Pass with two guests for the primary and authorized users, four Admirals Club passes annually, and travel protections such as trip cancellation, trip delay, baggage, and car rental coverage, with a $595 annual fee partly rebated for Citigold customers.
