City Rewards+ is used for each purchase for a near 10 digits. Sadly, this unique perk is discontinued, as well as 10% of the first 100,000 marks for each cardholder is redeemed from the year in advance.
In a special interview with Palm Habner, the head of the city’s branded cards and linding, Habner highlighted the city’s commitment to list the city’s feedback and engage in the focus to know what the current and potential card holders want to know what the current and potential card holders want from their credit card. He mentioned how the current market shows card holders in search of their rewards to be flexible and how these conclusions fired the city to make meaningful changes.
Members of the current City Rewards+ Card have access to the new City Stretta Card by 20 July, and new customers can apply today as 27 July.
Rate new earnings
The most exciting aspect of the new City Stretta Card is the introduction of new bonus categories and mice have been improved with prizes+ cards so far. Changes include:
- New: 5 points per dollar hotel, car rented and attached on cititravel.com
- increased: 3 points per dollar spent in supermarket
- Extended and extended: 3 points per dollar spent on selected transit, gas and electric vehicle charging stations
- New: Select 3 marks spent on the eligible self-selection category of fitness clubs, streaming services, live enterprises, cosmetic stores/barber shops/hair salon or pet supply store.
- New: 2 points spent per dollar in restaurant
- Same: 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases

Earlier, City Rewards+ earned 2 points per dollar spent on the purchase of grocery store and gas station; However, the new earning rates are far more attractive.
Rawds+ Card scored 5 points per dollar spent on hotels, car rentals and attraction booking through the City Travel Portal, but it was the last date for DEC. 31.
This is the total improvement of the card, and its earning rats bring it nearby City Stretta Premier CardWhich has a $ 95 annual fee and got his own refresh in May 2024
In my opinion, it can pay the route to the city for its oven version of the Chase Trfecta, where city card holders can carry several cards and maximize the earning rates and benefits in combination with each other.
The new earning rates make this card a qualified contender for everyday purchase and challenge the long -standing Arvel, such as Chase freedom unlimited® (See rates and fees).
Habner emphasized the role of the city in rebuilding the market and being competitive. It is clear that the city bowed to customers’ will to earn more in categories that spend everyday. Therefore, the issuer simplified and enhanced opportunities with CITI Strata cards in the required categories of gas stations, supermarkets and restaurants, in addition to introducing the new self-selection category.

The most exciting development is the new bonus category: 3 points per dollar spent on a self-selection category.
With a wide range of options, it should be quite easy to maximize. Cardholders can change their self-selection category every quarter. I see this bonus category as a major driver for the city as eligible categories are not introduced communally on other cards at an altitude earning rate.
Live entertainment for a couple costing more than $ 200 in cities such as New York and Los Angles with some gym membership, it can be highly useful for many people.
For me, it gives Chase Freedom Flex® a run for its money because its quarterly Banas categories $ 1,500 are active in each quarter.
The information of Chase Freedom Flex is collected independently by the point guy. The card details on this page or card have not been provided by the problem.

New welcome bonus
For a limited time, new customers approved for City Stretta Card will earn 30,000 bonus points after spending $ 1,000 with the first three -month account opening. Keep in mind that the existing city rewards+ card holders were automatically converted to CITI Strata card.
The new card holders will also recover 0% introductory annual (APR) on balance transfer and purchase for 15 months; After that, a variable will be 19.24% – 29.24% will be applied to credit qualification. Balance transfer will be 3% fee (minimum $ 5) and during the first 4 months of opening the account, there will be 5% (minimum $ 5) after transfer.

Welcome bonus is not available to applicants who have received a new account bonus for a city rewards+ account in the last 48 months or who have converted another city account, on which they have earned a new account bonus in the last 48 months which is in City Stretta or City Rewards+ Account.
Another welcome piece of the news is that approved applicants will immediately have access to the authority and their new credit card.
Ground level
City Stretta Card Credit Card is a fresh change in space, and I welcome it.
A complete overhaul to include earning rates and new categories makes this card a competitive option for those wishing to earn a thank you award. The changes of this card have made it more useful as a card that spends everyday and provided a string price offer.
As a City Stretta Premier Cardholder, you can add your Stretta Card Points and transfer the city’s travel partners for maximum price. Also, Strata Family
