OpenTable × Visa Dining Collection: How to Unlock Prime-Time Reservations With Your Visa Infinite Card

If you hold any U.S.-issued Visa Infinite® card (think Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card), add the card to your OpenTable wallet once, and you’ll see exclusive, “sold-out” dinner slots at more than 800 restaurants across 26 U.S. metros—plus Mexico and Canada—through June 30 2026. There’s no additional fee; you simply have first dibs on coveted tables.

Why The Visa Dining Collection Matters

Securing a 7 p.m. Friday reservation at buzzy spots like Bestia (LA) or Four Kings (SF) often feels impossible. Visa’s Dining Collection gives card-holders a Resy-like advantage without switching platforms or paying a concierge. For frequent diners in major markets, it’s a quiet but valuable sweetener that can tip the scale when you’re choosing between premium cards.

What You Get with the Visa Dining Collection

• Prime-time inventory: Tables normally shown as “unavailable” are held for Visa Infinite users until shortly before service.
• Special experiences: Some restaurants load tasting-menu seats, chef’s-counter spots, and ticketed pop-ups exclusively here.
• Zero surcharge: You pay standard menu prices; prepaid events simply require the same enrolled Infinite card.
• Growing footprint: 26 U.S. cities (NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, etc.) + 4 in Mexico and 4 in Canada—with new venues added regularly.
• Limited-time term: Current benefit window: July 10 2024 – June 30 2026 (subject to renewal)

Eligible U.S. Visa Infinite Credit Cards

The perk is network-driven, so any active U.S. Visa Infinite qualifies—even if the issuer never mentions OpenTable in its marketing. Below are some of our favorite Visa Infinite card picks, including the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.

Not eligible: Visa Signature cards like the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card or Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card. Those cards route to separate dining programs (e.g., Capital One Dining).

How to Enroll in Visa Dining

1. Log in to OpenTable (app or desktop).
2. Head to Account → Wallet → Add Payment Method.
3. Enter your Visa Infinite number → OpenTable verifies eligibility instantly and every 24 hours thereafter.
4. Tap the new “Visa Dining Collection” banner in Explore to see cities and restaurants.
5. Book as usual. If the restaurant needs a card hold or pre-payment, use the same enrolled Infinite card.

Unused inventory rolls into general availability on the reservation date, so last-minute hunters still have a shot.

Final Thoughts

If you already carry a Visa Infinite for its travel credits or lounge access, enable this perk—there’s literally no downside.
