News: The James Beard Foundation & Capital One Partner Up - Credit-Land.com

Capital One is now the official credit card of the James Beard Foundation, as well as their banking partner. This partnership means that cardholders will get access to exclusive events and benefits. What kind of events? That is an excellent question. The events range from cocktail parties featuring specialty beverages to gala dinners where world-renowned chefs will prepare the cuisine. Both Capital One credit and debit cardholders will be able to reap the benefits of this partnership.

This new initiative will kick off by giving Capital One cardholders the ability to gain entrée to the 2019-2020 Taste America series, which is set to get started on July 24, 2019, in NYC. But cardholders will also get access to other James Beard programs as time goes on. These future offerings will include the James Beard House, JBF Greens: Foodies under Forty and the James Beard Awards.

This partnership is seen as a way to give cardholders more access to foodie events. "We're excited to be a part of this groundbreaking partnership with the James Beard Foundation as we know our customers are passionate about unforgettable dining experiences. The James Beard Foundation is an impactful organization that we have always wanted to partner with," said Lauren Liss, Vice President of U.S. Card at Capital One.

"Capital One is constantly looking for ways to give our customers exclusive access to unique opportunities and this multi-year partnership allows us to do that across a variety of events and cities, starting with the Taste America tour," she added.
