Hat tip to Dansdeals
Massive downgrade on museum list. Basically down to 6 cities, with a handful of other cities with like a single museum. Nothing in Asia, South America or Africa anymore. No Canada or Mexico, and US is basically LA, SF, NYC, and Chicago.
Disappointing.
Just found they updated the term from 3 free guests down to 1 guest now.
Does this work for authorized users (AUs) also?

When I try to register on the site, I just get taken back to the offer page, and I don’t get any email or anything.
Requested tickets for my visit to Paris in early September. Have been told a couple of times in July I would get them shortly. Still haven’t received any yet. Has anyone received tickets for Paris? How many days in advance did you request them?
Actually, in the same boat for Paris trip in late September. It takes them 4 days just to acknowledge the request. I wouldn’t rely on it.
The museum list has changed…Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and Fine Art Museum of Brussels are both gone. Louvre requires 7 day advanced booking
Got mine with Venture One card, 11 Museum in NYC
8 don’t need reserved
Only 1 free/pay what u want (MET) for NYC resident
Fantastic and lot of them is Europe… too bad I has no plan to go to Europe this year but it might change now!
I have received no response after several requests to visit museums in Rome and Paris. Perhaps the value is when you can flash your membership card fir entry at certain museums.
Agreed, worst customer service.
I don’t have a Cap One card, but seems like $40 for one month for 4 people to visit lots of museums is a steal. What’s the catch, besides having to book them at least 24 hours in advance?
