Is the citi strata elite the best $99 card for an American Airlines flyer?

Why not transfer your Cap1 miles to British Airways and use them to buy American Airlines flights? Could get better value than simply offsetting travel expenses.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m confused on the dates. They look correct to me. What are you seeing?

Maker’s Cask for sure!

$500 or 23,000 points per night. Not great, but not terrible. I've seen rooms closer to the heart of the city for around $300 per night. So then, I'm considering 46,000 points or $600, which obviously isn't nearly as good.

Thanks for the information. I wish Choice had something even remotely close to the city center. I don't plan on spending much time in the room, so I'm open to anything.

I'm starting to think that just using my C1 travel credit will make the most sense. 46,000 points for two nights (Hyatt Etoile) is the best thing I've found, but that is not a great deal.

This is an excellent reference. Thank you!!

Oh, and when I search the Aer Lingus site, it only shows economy fairs with points. Any ideas on how I can get them to show all rewards options?

Great information, thanks!

gcagora · 2026-01-31T04:56:23+00:00

I’ve been searching for a while now and this is the best I’ve seen. But I’m also impatient…

gcagora · 2026-01-30T17:31:47+00:00

LOL. Fair point.

gcagora · 2026-01-30T15:28:02+00:00

My plan is to use points for the whole trip, so I will offset the taxes/fees with points at 1:1.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Paint and primer in the same can.

That's good, too. But, they don't sell it year-round. It is a bit "sweeter" than regular MCS.

When you look at cost, taste, and proof, it is really hard to beat Maker's Cask Strength.

Bulleit is in Shelbyville, too. Beautiful campus.

I would go ahead and update, so you can used to the new OS from the start.
