  • Access to All Partners: The Citi Strata Premier℠ Card provides full access to all Citi transfer partners at the best transfer ratios.
  • Limited Transfer Options: Points from other Citi cards can only transfer to a limited number of partners and often at less favorable ratios.
  • Airline Partners: Citi points transfer to 14 airline partners, including JetBlue as the only U.S. airline and international carriers like Emirates, Air France-KLM, and Virgin Atlantic.
  • Hotel Partners: Citi points can also be transferred to four hotel partners: Accor ALL, Choice Privileges, Preferred Hotels & Resorts, and Wyndham Rewards.
  • Points Value: Transferring Citi points to airline partners can yield 1 to 2 cents per point, with higher values typically for First and Business class redemptions. Hotel transfers generally offer lower value but can still exceed 1 cent per point in some cases.
