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)

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.

Final Thoughts

If you already carry a Visa Infinite for its travel credits or lounge access, enable this perk—there’s literally no downside. For heavy diners in NYC, LA, SF, or Chicago, the ability to grab a 7 p.m. Friday table at Michelin-rated venues could save you hours of wait-list angst each year. Add your card, poke around the collection, and enjoy the quiet flex when friends ask how you snagged that impossible reservation.
