Citi Strata Elite 13.5K SL

Took the plunge today after glancing thru my account online seeing Citi bumped my Rweards+ card to 12K from 8K without me asking. So I decided to apply for the new Strata Elite as I have an existing relationship with Citi and was immediately approved. I have the AA Platinum Select card for about 4 years now and over a year ago opened the Rewards+ card (now Strata). This will be my third personal card, along with one business account (Costco).

Citi pulled Equifax Fico 8 cardscore was 739

this is considered a "core" card right? thus making it harder to be approved?

The Strata Cards are core cards under Citi and the Strata Elite would be a bit more difficult to get than the Strata Card (formerly Rewards+) you definitely need a score above 700 maybe even 720 if there's no relationship with Citi.

Also it appears the Elite card will be a World Legend card (it will be one of the first on market) and seems to be a metal card from other video shorts out there so far!
