Citi Strata Premier Card

The Citi Strata Premier is Citi's mid-tier transferable-points travel card, and at $95 a year it leans on a broad 3x earning structure rather than perks. You get 3x points across air travel, other hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and gas and EV charging, plus 10x on hotels, car rentals, and attractions booked through Citi's own travel portal, which is a strong everyday spread for a card at this fee. The $100 annual hotel benefit covers the fee outright if you book a single $500 stay through cititravel.com once a year, so the practical question is whether you will route a qualifying hotel booking through Citi's portal to claim it.
