Citi Expands Strata Elite Curated Table to Three Fall Events

The company is using invitation-only culinary and lifestyle programming to sell access that strengthens cardholder ties and differentiates its premium product.

Overview

  • Citi announced on Thursday that The Curated Table will return with three fall events on Sept. 9 in New York, Oct. 21 in Austin and Dec. 2 in Miami.
  • The New York night will pair fashion designer Christian Siriano with chefs Michael and Bryan Voltaggio, the Austin event will feature the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team and a driver appearance, and the Miami program will showcase a named "renowned artist."
  • Tickets for eligible Citi Strata Elite cardholders start at $100 and will be sold first-come, first-served with a limited number of premium packages that add extra access such as runway-show entry.
  • Citi is running the expanded series in partnership with Mastercard and says the events link the Strata Elite card’s elevated dining rewards to membership-style benefits that create memorable, hard-to-buy experiences.
  • The move follows strong engagement from last year’s launch and reflects a wider industry shift by premium issuers toward experiential perks as a way to deepen loyalty and make cards feel like lifestyle memberships.
