Apply at Citi

The Citi Strata is the no-annual-fee ThankYou card that replaced Citi Rewards+ in 2025, with a broader, richer earn structure: 5X on travel booked through Citi Travel, 3X at supermarkets, 3X on transit, gas, and EV charging, 3X on a self-select category you pick (from fitness clubs, select streaming, live entertainment, salons, or pet stores), and 2X at restaurants. Unlike its cash-back siblings, the Strata transfers ThankYou points to Citi's airline and hotel partners on its own - no premium card required. Add a 0% intro APR for 15 months and World Elite Mastercard perks, and it's a strong free everyday-earner. Note the 3% foreign transaction fee.
