Our friends over at Frequentmiler heard sources that the Citi Premier card is retiring on May 9, 2024. A new Citi Strata Premier card will launch on May 16th.
We don’t yet have details on the new card. Reports are indicating the signup bonus will be 75,000 points after spending $4,000 within the first 3 months.
Some people might want to jump on this final chance (May 8th) on getting the Citi Premier card with a 60,000 points signup bonus. FM points out that there is a chance the bonus on the new Strata card will only be available to those who didn’t get a bonus on the prior Premier version, so it’s hard to know whether this is a good idea.
We reported last year on Citi filing trademarks for Strata Premier and Strata Elite. I’d assume the Strata Premier is meant as replacement for the Premier card and then they’ll possibly launch also the Citi Strata Elite as a replacement for the more expensive Prestige card. We’ll be sure to post again when we learn more.
