Bank of America Gives Free Museum Passes to Credit Card Users


Credit cards have offered rewards for their users for years including cash-back incentives and airline miles, but Bank of America is offering a different kind of incentive to their card holders who appreciate good art and culture.

During the first full weekend of every month, Bank of America customers can get into museums across the country for free. Many of these participating museums are major institutions. In New York City, participating museums include the Bronx Zoo, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, the New York Aquarium, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This deal doesn't include special exhibition shows, but this is still a very good deal for card holders.

Now, I have never been a fan of Bank of America. I still think that they are a terrible bank to deal with, and I encourage our readers to steer clear of them. Even so, I love this incentive, and I think more banks should add museum incentives for their users, if only to expose more people to great art at the Met or science at the New York Aquarium.
