Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending, excessive cash advances, repeated rapid application and cancellation of cards to farm bonuses, returns of purchases used to meet minimum spend requirements, using the card for non-personal or non-household purposes, application fraud or misrepresentation
Cliff Effect Rules
The Strata Card shares a bonus eligibility family with the Citi Rewards+ Card and Citi Strata Student Card — receiving a bonus on any of these cards in the past 48 months blocks the Strata Card bonus, and vice versa. This card-family cliff is broader than most Citi cards, which enforce card-specific restrictions. The Strata Card bonus does not block or conflict with bonuses on other Citi personal cards (Double Cash, Strata Premier, Strata Elite, Custom Cash).
International Friendly
May have limitations for international use.
Additional Issuer Rules
The Citi Strata Card enforces a shared 48-month bonus restriction across a card family — the welcome bonus is not available if the applicant received a new account bonus on a Citi Strata, Citi Strata Student, Citi Rewards+, or Citi Rewards+ Student account in the past 48 months, or converted another Citi card on which a bonus was earned into any of these cards within the past 48 months. Standard Citi velocity rules apply: no more than one new personal card approval per 8 days and no more than two within any 65-day period. The card carries a 3% foreign transaction fee, making it unsuitable for international travel purchases.
Military & Hardship
MLA Compliant
