This post doesn't mention it, but the email C1 sent for this promo seems to indicate it's Venture X cardholders only, but the website doesn't specify, so maybe...

Do note per the T&C that you have to email Cultivist to cancel the membership, or it will auto-renew at $40/mo. That's right... email to cancel, so you can probably guess how fun that could potentially be.

T&C also say you have until June 22 2024 to activate, so if you are going to use it, you can wait until you might have specific trips to well-covered cities planned.

It's not 100% clear whether authorized users get their own separate membership, but it says "cardholder" which typically includes authorized users separately.
since its Capital one you can just use virtual number and lock it immediately so they don't charge you in case you have a hard time to cancel it
I understand your point but disagree. As the user Hotdeal13 stated, if you make attempt to cancel by following their directions to cancel, then yes that absolutely "absolves" you of membership dues especially since you have a record of cancelation. This is not some cat and mouse game; businesses should be held accountable too for their inaction. Your post is unsettling to me and attempts to make bad business practices acceptable with the burden on the consumer.

Interesting. The fact that it's "less exclusive" makes me even more concerned with regards to how difficult it might be to cancel via email.

Interesting. I saw this come though on my Venture X, and I'm doing some int'l travel this fall, but not to anywhere they have museum arrangements - only about ten cities have more than a single museum. I do wonder if they let you enter a card number...since CapOne will issue you a single-merchant number that you can set to auto-expire, you might be able to fill out the promo and set the card number lock date to a month or two in the future just in case they get pissy about, or don't respond to, cancellation emails.

Inability to bill a credit card doesn't absolve you of membership fees, though. Similar to how a gym will pursue you heavily to recover membership fees, Cultivist could bill you via snail mail and turn you over to collections if you don't pay. I just don't know much about them as a company, but the email to cancel thing wouldn't make me optimistic about their billing practices.

Definitely recommend staying away - their website is quite poor. No instructions on how to cancel. Their contact form doesn't even work on their website - says "message can't be delivered" when sent. Probably a big hassle.

Also just an FYI it's only art museums - not for any other museum type.

Looks like they are playing all the credit cards

Amex had this deal in Jan. You have to email to cancel or it auto renews.

I signed up but never used then emailed to cancel.
