Henry Golding: Travel Host Turned A-List Actor Endorses Citi Strata Elite Credit Card
Henry Golding, the British-Malaysian actor and former travel host, has been chosen to help launch the Citi Strata Elite Credit Card. This premium card, designed for travelers, is said to align perfectly with Golding's personal passions for travel and dining experiences.
Golding initially gained recognition as a travel program host for major networks such as the BBC, Discovery, and National Geographic. His charismatic on-screen presence and broad exposure to diverse audiences were developed during this time, as he explored familiar and new destinations.
This experience in front of the camera led to his breakthrough acting role as the male lead in the film "Crazy Rich Asians", which significantly raised his profile in the entertainment industry. The movie, steeped in luxury, travel, and culture, has a huge following and racks up more than 15,000 views a week on American Airlines alone.
Golding's celebrity status from these roles has enabled him to endorse prominent products such as the Citi Strata Elite Credit Card. The card offers benefits such as an annual $300 hotel credit, four American Airlines Admirals Club passes, complimentary Priority Pass Select membership at more than 1,500 airport lounges worldwide, and a $200 splurge credit.
Pam Habner, head of U.S. Branded Cards and Lending at Citi, says choosing Golding to help launch the Citi Strata Elite Card was a no-brainer. Golding values making the most out of his journey and encourages stepping outside one's comfort zone while traveling. He believes every journey has the potential to create lasting memories.
Before his acting career, Golding hosted BBC's The Travel Show, where he showcased his love for travel and connection with local experts. His early career taught him to see travel as a way to connect with people and cultures. When exploring a destination, Golding follows personal passions, which the Citi Strata Elite card caters to with its rewards structure. The card offers 1.5x points on every dollar spent, 6x on flights and restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights, and 12x on hotels, car rentals, and attractions booked on Citi Travel.
In summary, Henry Golding's journey from travel host to A-list actor has led him to endorse the Citi Strata Elite Credit Card, a premium card designed for travelers who share his love for luxury, travel, and dining experiences.
