    Ben Hedges mentioned that one difference with the Strata Premier is that the 10% back on booking hotels through the travel portal will be made permanent. That seems to be the only real difference, but it is a welcome addition.

    • @michaelp.3485
      @michaelp.3485 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Unfortunately the Citi Travel portal is so overpriced compared to booking directly, that it negates both the $100 hotel credit AND the 10 points per dollar.

    • @RJFinancial
      @RJFinancial  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      The cards is out now of course... and I saw that is a permanent feature. Before it was a part of the intro offer I think for the old Premier.

    I’ve been holding onto the Citi Prestige so I’m really interested to see what they do with Elite. I eat out a ton and use Priority Pass restaurants a lot so it made sense to keep Prestige. I’m encouraged by travel protections returning on the Strata Premier, which has been sorely missed on Prestige. For Elite, I would love to see the same benefits plus some AAdvantage benefit (transfer partner, loyalty point earnings, elite status, etc.).

    • @RJFinancial

    When I found out about Citi releasing the Strata Premier, I was glad that almost everything was staying the same. Although, I was hoping they would have reduced the spend requirement to get the $100 annual hotel credit. With it being a "new" card with an elevated welcome offer, I think Citi may be lenient with their approval rules. Therefore, I think you may have a good chance at getting approved for it. I'll definitely be looking forward to your video on whether or not you will be approved for it!

    I product changed my Strata Premier to a Custom Cash this evening. I still can’t get over the cheap ass low grade plastic design of the Strata Premier. The Citi Premier had a more premium look and feel, I have other travel cards with similar or better rewards so no loss.

    • @RJFinancial

    WF definitely is on thr cusp of being extremely valuable. They do have the basics covered, but it's not enough to want to me to switch. Maybe just to complement ($0 autograph)? But, if they have Bilt partners, then that would be wonderful and absolutely a reason to change.

    • @RJFinancial

    I applied for the Citi Strata Premier card. I'm already disappointed in the card even though I haven't received it yet. Yes, it has travel benefits, but I called the bank and asked if it had "Worldwide Travel Accident Insurance". They told me that it does not have this benefit. What kind of travel card doesn't come with travel accident insurance? I will book a hotel to get the $100 back on the annual fee, and I'll do the minimum spend in order to get the bonus points. But I don't expect to keep the card beyond the first year.

      If you want the Citi life and travel then it’s all three cards. If you don’t travel then I wouldn’t pay for Strata in year two. You can find higher multipliers in each category for free elsewhere. That Mainly works if you do cash back.

    Some constructive criticism. If this is going to be your job, which I believe it is, you can’t just “mail it in”. No research…no enthusiasm Your I don’t give a damn attitude come through loud and clear. I think you are, or at least can be, better than this. Rewatch this and ask yourself if this is the best you can do and represents excellence of execution. When you rewatch ask yourself if this “expert” seems knowledgeable and enthusiastic about this subject. Again, constructive criticism.
