NEW YORK—Citi has rebranded its mid-tier Citi Premier travel credit card as the Citi Strata Premier Card, with an emphasis on travel rewards.
The new Strata Premier Card is nearly identical to the old Citi Premier except it has additional travel protections, bonus spending categories and a new limited-time welcome offer, CNBC reported.
“The Citi Strata Premier Card earns transferrable Citi Thank You points and earns them in bunches. It also currently offers a welcome bonus worth 70,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months of account opening,” according to the CNBC report.
The bonus is worth $700 in gift cards, cash back or travel.
Most Notable Changes
“But the most notable changes with the Strata Premier are the new travel coverages, including: trip cancellation/interruption, trip delay, lost or damaged luggage, and MasterRental coverage (car rental insurance),” CNBC said.
As CUToday.info has been reporting, the changes by Cit are part of an industry wide effort to enhance travel perks on credit cards.
