The Citi Strata Elite credit card is turning heads with surprisingly easy approvals and a first-year value that rivals the best card launches in recent memory.

Meanwhile, Air India's long-awaited cabin retrofits finally have a concrete launch date, and two European airlines are pulling fee moves that might leave you speechless. Plus, a must-know tip for anyone working toward a credit card welcome bonus for the first time.
