We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    With Bank of America’s Museums on Us program, you’ll get into participating museums and cultural centers for free with Bank of America (or Merrill Lynch) debit or credit cards like:

    Just show your card at the door along with a photo ID.

    Free entry is only good for Bank of America or Merrill Lynch cardholders.  So, if you’re visiting with other folks, they’ll need to bring their own eligible card or pay full price.

    Note:   Free admission does not necessarily mean you’ll have access to every exhibit in the museum.  Some museums charge additional fees for different areas.  So research your museum before you go!

    This is a great deal for families looking for educational fun, or folks who are traveling this weekend and looking for ways to save on entertainment.

    If you’re in Oklahoma, you can go to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.  And if you’re in Rhode Island, you can check out Blithewold, Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum.

    Bottom Line

    You can receive free admission to participating museums and other cultural centers this weekend if you have a Bank of America or Merrill Lynch debit or credit card!  Check this list for a participating location near you.

    Let me if you plan a visit this weekend!
