How It Works

Audience members dine out at participating restaurants to earn Patron PointsAudience members earn Patron Points as a reward for dining out, and can use them for tickets, admission, subscriptions, classes, memberships, or donations. Members earn 10% of whatever they spend on meals, plus additional bonus rewards for frequent dining. For example, on a $50 dining bill, they would earn $5 in Patron Points., which they redeem for cash-back on admission to arts and cultural events. As a cause marketing program, Patron Rewards also makes a direct contribution to enrolled arts organizations when members eat out.
