"Museums on Us" Program with Bank of America - Participating Washington State Museums

The "Museums on Us" Program is a program that Bank of America has run for several years. However, this year the program has been expanded from one month to the first weekend of every month for an entire year.

The way it works is if a visitor shows a Bank of America check, debit card or credit card, they get into participating museums for free.

The participating museums in Washington State are:
1. Tacoma Art Museum
2. The Museum of History and Industry
3. The Wing Luke Museum

This seems like a great way to get new visitors into local institutions. It would be interesting to know a little more about how this program operates on the museum end. Does Bank of America pay participating institutions a certain amount or is it done entirely free? It would be great if more museums could participate, but is there a particular reason why more institutions haven't jumped on this opportunity.
