Citi has launched the premium Strata Elite card with a 75,000-point welcome bonus, a first-year value pitch built around statement credits, and accelerated earning tied to American Airlines. It matters because Citi is finally giving ThankYou collectors a higher-end flagship again, with a more direct AAdvantage angle for churners and AA loyalists.
