The Citi Strata Premier® Card is a travel rewards credit card designed for applicants who want ThankYou® Points on travel, dining, supermarkets, gas stations, and eligible everyday purchases. The card has a $95 annual fee and may include a welcome offer for eligible new cardmembers, subject to Citi’s terms and approval requirements.
Before applying, compare the annual fee, rewards structure, redemption options, and the card’s variable APR with your budget. Approval is not guaranteed, and the offer, credit limit, APR, and eligibility may vary by applicant.
Basic Requirements: Who Can Apply?
Applicants generally must be at least 18 years old, reside in the United States or an eligible U.S. territory, and provide accurate, verifiable information. The application typically requests your legal name, residential address, date of birth, Social Security number, employment information, and annual income.
- A valid U.S. residential address and identifying information
- Income sufficient to support credit obligations
- A credit profile that meets Citi’s underwriting criteria
- Accurate information that can be verified by the issuer
Citi reviews credit history, payment behavior, income, existing debt, credit utilization, and other factors. A credit score is relevant, but it is not the only consideration. The application may result in approval, a request for additional information, or a pending decision.
How to Apply Through the Citi Website
The online application is generally the most direct option. Use Citi’s official credit card area, locate the Citi Strata Premier Card, review the current pricing and offer disclosures, and select the application option.
- Open Citi’s official credit card application page.
- Confirm that the product is the Citi Strata Premier Card.
- Enter your full legal name, address, email, date of birth, and Social Security number.
- Report income and housing information accurately.
- Review the consent, privacy, pricing, and credit authorization disclosures.
- Submit the application and save the confirmation details.
How to Apply Through the Citi Mobile App
Download the official Citi Mobile® App through the authorized app marketplace for your Android or iOS device. After signing in, look for the credit card application or card offers area. The exact navigation labels may change as the app is updated.
- Install and open the Citi Mobile App.
- Sign in or follow the registration process if you are already a Citi customer.
- Open the credit card offers or application section.
- Select Citi Strata Premier, when available.
- Complete the personal, income, and consent fields.
- Review the disclosures and submit the proposal.
Applying Through a Referral
Citi may offer referral links for selected credit card products and existing cardmembers. If a friend sends you an official Citi referral link, verify that it opens a Citi domain before entering personal information. A referral may display a specific offer, but it does not guarantee approval, a particular APR, or a specific credit limit.
Application Review and Approval
Citi may provide an immediate decision for some applications, while others require additional review. Citi’s terms indicate that processing can take longer when verification is necessary. The result may appear on the application screen or arrive through email, mail, or a notification in the Citi Mobile App.
Do not submit multiple applications simply because a decision is delayed. First check the application status or contact Citi through an official customer service channel.
Key Benefits and Trade-Offs
- Travel rewards: Earn ThankYou Points on eligible travel and everyday categories.
- Hotel benefit: Eligible cardmembers may receive $100 off one qualifying hotel stay of $500 or more booked through Citi Travel once per calendar year.
- Travel protections: Certain trip delay, cancellation, luggage, and rental car protections may apply subject to the benefit terms.

- Important cost: The card carries a $95 annual fee, and interest may apply when balances are not paid according to the account terms.
Conclusion: Start Your Application
The Citi Strata Premier Card may suit applicants who can use its travel and everyday rewards enough to justify the annual fee. Review the current offer, pricing information, rewards conditions, and variable APR before submitting an application. Approval is subject to Citi’s credit analysis and final determination.
