Well the list seems to have changed again - Louvre is off the list and Rijksmuseum is back on. It also has a new format.
And interestingly enough the list the Hirshhorn in Washington DC which is part of the Smithsonian and has free admission anyway as required advanced booking.

Yes - it seems that all the better options are off the list. I guess the relationship was not as profitable as they expected (surprising now one really).

Plus they've lowered the number of guests to only one.

They must be bleeding money with the Venture relationship. I know I timed my sign-on for the service to a time I will need many tickets with several guests. I cannot imagine how they can turn a profit. But absolutely not worth actually paying for.

We'll be visiting Italy next year, and I've kept this Cultivist thing in the back of my mind since it was announced in case I ever went. I thought there used to be more museums in other cities in Italy on the list, but looks like currently it's just Venice... still, with 3 days in Venice on our itinerary, it's probably worth making use of this.
Can anyone report whether there's any difficulty in cancelling, since you have to do it via email?

Good question. Reading through their T&C page, it says
I only have one personal C1 card and one business C1 card at the moment. For the personal card, both primary and AU card numbers are the same. For the business card, however, the numbers are different.
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.

Uh it’s expired. No more free 6 months. All we have now is a 50% discount which is not worth. I missed that the promotion was supposed to expire last month. I still have several cards (mostly AU) I wanted to enroll at later days to stretch the membership.
Having said that, I truly enjoyed the membership in the last year. chicago art institute gave free tickets to paid exhibitions (Georgia Okeeffe right now) for cultivist members.
