rewrite this title What is Blacklane, and How Does It Work With the Citi Strata Elite? – NerdWallet

If you have the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card, you may be wondering about one of the card’s perks: an annual credit toward Blacklane purchases.

Blacklane is a luxury chauffeur company that operates in over 60 countries and helps connect travelers with local chauffeur services. The company offers a variety of services, including airport transfers and city-to-city rides.

Holders of the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card receive up to a $200 annual credit for Blacklane. From January through June, you can get up to $100 off a Blacklane ride; you’ll receive a second $100 credit for a ride between July and December.

If you’re thinking about using your Strata Elite card’s Blacklane credit, here’s what you need to know before booking a ride.

Blacklane offers four ways to ride depending on your travel needs.

To get the Blacklane credit, you must pay for your ride with the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card. Rides may be booked on the Blacklane website or in the Blacklane app. (Note that chauffeur hailing can only be booked in the app.)

And as noted above, the card offers up to a $200 annual credit, but that’s doled out in $100 biannual credits. While $100 is a good chunk of change, it probably won’t cover the entire cost of a single Blacklane ride, which can be pricey.

For example, as of this writing, an airport transfer from Arlington, Virginia, to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) costs more than $117 in Business, the cheapest class.
