New Capital One perk: The Cultivist membership
There is a new perk offered by C1 for consumer and business cardholders: complimentary 6 months The Cultivist Enthusiast membership. Reading through the fine print, I need to download the app, and most (not all) locations allow cardholder to bring up to 3 guests. I was able to successfully register after inputting my C1 card number.
If anyone has used this perk already, how was your experience getting into the museum? How does one find out which locations can a cardholder bring guest(s)?
I cannot find The Cultivist app to download in the app store. I am able to pull up my membership card from their website though.

Offers expire on June 22, 2024 at 11:59pm ET.

The ‘Enthusiast’ level membership includes skip-the-line access and complimentary tickets to select partner museums globally for each enrolled Eligible Capital One Cardholder, and up to three (3) guests per enrolled cardholder in most locations, as well as access to virtual programming and online content hosted by The Cultivist. Enrolled Capital One Cardholders must either show their digital Enthusiast membership card for skip-the-line access at the museum (instructions are provided within The Cultivist app) or provide at least 24 hours’ notice to [email protected] to secure tickets for select locations.

Since a progressive web app is a type of webpage or website known as a web application, they do not require separate bundling or distribution. Developers can simply publish the web application online, ensure that it meets baseline "installability requirements", and users will be able to add the application to their home screen. Publishing the app to digital distribution systems like Apple App Store or Google Play is optional.

Since it's not clear which museums you can bring up to three guests, I thought I'd share what I had found.
For The Met in NY, you can bring up to three guests, just show them your digital Cultivist card in your account.
For MOMA PS 1 also in NY, you will have to email them and specify date/time. You can also bring up to three guests.

I _think_ it is for a headshot of yourself should you choose to upload one.

I had not heard of The Cultivist until happychic started this thread. It appears the program started in 2015, and initial membership was capped at 1,000 people, at $2,500/member/year. The website still shows a $2,500 membership, but also a $440 membership, and now this free trial membership for Venture X cardholders.

We said we would accept up to 1,000 members in the first phase of membership and yes, we still believe that was the right decision. It helped us build a strong community of people who truly cared about the arts.....We are now focused on expanding our community in key regions such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, Belgium and Germany.
One of the things that was very important to us was to go beyond purely the ‘access’ and offer the educational side of things—we refer to it as ‘meaningful access’. We don’t just get people through the doors. We’re not just a concierge that gives someone a ticket. We get them through the door, take them in, and then explain to them what’s happening in there.
The Cultivist’s latest turn sees the launch of a new digital art programme, which allows members to attend everything from studio visits to museum exhibitions – all from the comfort of your home.
The Cultivist relies on the bourgeois fantasy that you may have a deep experience without doing the necessary preparatory work to achieve it. As the club indicates on its website in the “About” section: “The Cultivist makes your journey through art effortless and enriching.

To enroll for complimentary membership, Eligible Capital One Cardholders must visit thecultivist.com/capitalone and input the 16 digits of their eligible Capital One credit card in the checkout process.
I wonder if a business card AU can get their own Cultivist membership because they have a different 16 digit card number for their own use.

For the museums where you need to "request tickets", how is this done? I can't find it anywhere on the web site viewed either on my PC or my phone. I'm in Paris end of Sept and want Louvre and Musee d'Orsay tickets.
