Capital One Cardholders Can Get Free Access to Over 100 Museums for 6 Months

With this six-month membership, you can get free access to over 100 museums worldwide.

Museums are the perfect places to learn about subjects that interest you and historic events. However, some museums have high admission prices, which can impact your budget. If you're a Capital One cardholder, you may be able to score free access to over 100 museums for six months.

Many card issuers add attractive benefits to their rewards cards so their cardholders get more value out of using their cards. Credit card companies offer various benefits -- and sometimes the perks are freebies that could help you keep more money in your bank account. You won't get the most out of your card if you ignore or forget about these benefits.

Now, Capital One is giving cardholders free access to over 100 museums for six months through The Cultivist, a global arts membership-based club. Cardholders can score an Enthusiast level membership as a credit card perk -- which carries a value of $240.

This subscription-based membership gives the cardholder plus three guests free admission to participating museums. Cardholders with Capital One credit cards that earn rewards can take advantage of this benefit.

Over 100 museums around the world partner with The Cultivist. You can view the list of museum partners to see which museums participate.

To use your benefits, you can show your digital Enthusiast membership card or provide at least 24 hours' notice to [email protected] to secure tickets.

The above museum partners list outlines which museums allow you to use your digital card, and which require you to secure tickets before your arrival.

You should know that once the six-month free trial is up, you'll be billed $40 monthly. You can cancel at any time to avoid being charged. If you plan to use this perk, we suggest making a note in your calendar so you remember to cancel before your six months are up.

Don't forget to use your credit card benefits

If you use rewards credit cards, ensure you're getting the most value by using the perks you're offered. This is especially true if you pay an annual fee for your credit card. Many card issuers continue to add additional benefits regularly, so stay up to date on your card's features.

If you're not yet using a rewards card, you're missing out on cash back earnings or other valuable rewards. It's not too late to start using rewards cards. To find your next card, you can view our list of best rewards credit cards.
