Thinking premium credit cards aren’t worth the annual fee? I put the Citi Strata Elite to the test and the numbers surprised even me. In this real-world breakdown, I show exactly how I’ve already extracted hundreds in value, how triple dipping works, and why the right strategy can turn a $595 annual fee into outsized returns.
Our stay at The Huntley Santa Monica was a perfect mix of comfort, style, and attentive service. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome, addressing us by name and handling every request with ease. The rooms were spacious, with large beds, a comfortable seating area, and a modern design that made our family feel right at home. While the bathroom was cozy, the fast response to a minor shower issue and the serene rooftop terrace with ocean views made this hotel stand out. Whether you’re traveling for family, work, or a weekend getaway, The Huntley Santa Monica offers an elevated experience worth every point or dollar spent.
