Citi Supper Club expands

Citi is taking its Supper Club dining series beyond its launch markets in 2026, adding one-night events for Citi Strata Elite cardmembers in Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and the Hamptons. (resident.com) The events are tied to Citi’s premium Strata Elite card, which Citi introduced in July 2025 as a $595-a-year product built around travel, dining and entertainment perks. Citi said the card can unlock “nearly $1,500 in value” a year through benefits including lounge access, statement credits and exclusive experiences. (citigroup.com; citi.com) The Supper Club series began in October 2025 with a debut dinner at Craig’s in Los Angeles featuring chef Nancy Silverton, according to a PR Newswire announcement from The Supper Club. A later 2026 event calendar listed May 14 at Mother Wolf in Los Angeles and July 9 at LDV at The Maidstone in the Hamptons, with Chicago and San Francisco still to be announced. (prnewswire.com; citi.thesupperclubinc.com) The offer is narrower than Citi Entertainment, the bank’s broader ticketing program for concerts, sports and arts events that is open to Citi cardmembers more generally. The Supper Club events are reserved for Strata Elite cardholders, and tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis rather than through a public reservation system. (cardbenefits.citi.com; thepointsguy.com) Banks have been pushing harder into lifestyle perks as premium credit cards compete on access as much as on points. Citi’s launch materials for Strata Elite emphasized dining and entertainment alongside American Airlines lounge passes and travel credits, putting restaurant events in the same package as more traditional card benefits. (citigroup.com; citi.com) That strategy also turns dinner into a paid add-on inside an already expensive card relationship. The Points Guy reported that at least one 2026 Supper Club event, the May 14 dinner at Mother Wolf, was priced at $100 a ticket for eligible cardholders. (thepointsguy.com) The Supper Club, the partner running the dinners, describes itself as a hospitality company built around immersive meals, conversation and small-group connection. On its Citi event page, it says the experiences are designed for cardmembers to meet over “incredible food” and “new connections,” extending the private-club logic into a branded bank perk. (citi.thesupperclubinc.com) The expansion suggests Citi sees those dinners as repeatable enough to take national, but still scarce enough to market as limited access. For Strata Elite customers, the next test is simple: whether the remaining 2026 dates in Chicago and San Francisco arrive with the same sellout appeal Citi is now trying to scale.
