The Citi Strata no annual fee card is now live. This card replaces the Citi Rewards+. Card benefits are as follows:
- No annual fee
- 30,000 point sign up bonus after $1,000 in spend within the first 3 months
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 5 points per dollar spent on Hotels, Car Rentals, and Attractions booked on cititravel.com
- 3 points per dollar spent at Supermarkets
- 3 points per dollar spent on Select Transit and at Gas & EV Charging Stations
- 3 points per dollar spent on an eligible Self-Select Category of your choice
- 2 points per dollar spent at Restaurants
- 1 point per dollar spent on All Other Purchases
Not as useful as the rewards+ card as there is no 10% rebate on redeemed rewards.
Could someone please advise the cashback rate for points on this credit card? Is the 30,000 sign up bonus points worth $300 cashback or are they worth $225 or less? Thanks in advance.

Does Citi allow product conversion from Citi Strata to Custom cash?
Among other things, it may depend on how many Custom Cash cards you already have. I already have two of them, and I’ve never yet heard of anyone having three of them to date.
And while initially I was thinking of converting, when I found out that it gives 3% back on certain streaming services, I decided to keep it as is for a while, given that I’m not sure what I can and would want to convert it to, because I already have, besides this card, a Citi Double Cash card and two Citi Custom Cash cards.
Can you combine points with the new premier card like Chase can with freedom and preferred cards?
No thanks
The Self-Select 3% category defaults to Select Streaming Services. It can be changed once per quarter.
How to set the category on the Citi website:
How to set the category in the Citi app:
will this be 1 cent per point if redeemed for cash back? or .75 cents per point like the other strata
Also wondering this.. If so, can you transfer them to a double cash card and redeem at 1c?
Looks like no additional benefits such as extended warranty?
I didn’t see any. Supposedly Double Cash now offers a 24month warranty – so maybe product change into that?
Can you still transfer to partners with the citi strata?
yes, but at a worse rate than the Premier/Elite cards. Also you cannot transfer to AA but it works with other partners
(AA is 1000:700 with the plain Strata for 1:1 transfer partners, even more decreased values for non-1:1 partners like Emirates)
