Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Citi Strata Elite offers 100,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. Citi Strata Premier offers 75,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. Citi Strata offers 30,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. Citi Double Cash offers $200 cash back after spending $1,500 on purchases in the first six months of account opening. And, of course, American Airlines AAdvantage Citi cards are available for brand loyalists. Because nothing says “escape” like a 48-month waiting period for your next welcome bonus.
