      Common questions

      Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, BJ's One Mastercard or Citi Strata Card?
      The Citi Strata Card has a public bonus (20,000 bonus points, worth roughly $340), while the BJ's One Mastercard doesn't advertise one right now.
      Is the BJ's One Mastercard's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Citi Strata Card?
      The BJ's One Mastercard has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Citi Strata Card's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Citi Strata Card's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the BJ's One Mastercard.
      Can I have both the BJ's One Mastercard and Citi Strata Card?
      Yes, since they're from different issuers (Capital One and Citi) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
      Should I get the BJ's One Mastercard or the Citi Strata Card first?
      Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. BJ's One Mastercard: no published min spend. Citi Strata Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
