Bank of America Cardholders Get Free Museum Access

Monday July 11, 2011

Here's a deal that was brought to my attention by About's guide to Orlando. For the rest of 2011, Bank of America is running a program called Museums on Us ®, which enables BoA cardholders to get into selected museums for free on the first full weekend of every month simply for flashing their cards at the admission desk. Approximately 150 museums throughout the country are participating in this program, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Bronx Zoo, and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Have a look at the full list of Museums on Us® participants (PDF) and plan your next museum visit today!
