i got an email a few days ago from BankOfAmerica offering me all sort of great deals for banking with them. There was 10% off of coffee at fourbucks, there is a 10% discount at California Pizza Kitchen and there was a separate email giving me free access to a bunch of museums throughout the country. It sounds like a great deal until you actually look at the museums they have in their package, they are either some no-name museum in Idaho or Wisconsin.
There are a few ones in big cities but even those offers are disingenuous . For example, they offer free entrance to the Met, which any New Yorker will sniff out as crap.. See the Met has a 'suggested donation', which means that you can walk up to the teller, give her a nickel and walk in and enjoy all the art that's fit to hang.
So the BoA offer to give you free admission is like telling somebody they can get free admission into Central Park
