You can use it across multiple stays, as long as each one is at least two nights and the total cost is under $300.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you could book two nights at the Holiday Inn Warsaw City Center by IHG for $213.38 and leave $86.62 left over for a future stay elsewhere.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_221034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"900\/629\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-221034 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strata-Hotel-2.png\" alt=\"Citi Travel hotel checkout receipt.\" width=\"900\" height=\"629\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strata-Hotel-2.png 2514w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strata-Hotel-2-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strata-Hotel-2-1024x715.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strata-Hotel-2-768x536.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strata-Hotel-2-1536x1073.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strata-Hotel-2-2048x1431.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Citi<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h3><span id=\"Use_at_non-chain_hotels_or_where_you_don8217t_have_elite_benefits\">Use at non-chain hotels or where you don't have elite benefits<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are pros and cons to booking through a third party like the Citi Travel portal. One downside is that if you have elite status with a hotel loyalty program, there\u2019s a good chance your benefits won\u2019t apply to third-party bookings.<\/p>\n<p>So, you could consider using your hotel savings benefit at a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/use-points-at-hotels-with-no-rewards-program\/\" rel=\"noopener\">property that doesn\u2019t participate in a rewards program<\/a> or one where you don\u2019t have elite status.

Best of all, there\u2019s room to get creative. You can use it to save on a quick getaway or combine it with other benefits to build a trip that costs you very little (or even nothing) out of pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Don't have the Citi Strata Elite yet?
