Visa Signature Launches Dining Web Site with Zagat Restaurant Reviews and Ratings

San Francisco (PRWEB) July 25, 2007 -- Visa USA today announced the launch of an enhanced Visa Signature® Dining Web site (http://www.visa.com/signaturefood) and a unique partnership with Zagat Survey, one of the most trusted resources for restaurant ratings and reviews. The new www.visa.com/signaturefood site was built to fulfill Visa Signature cardholders' appetite for epicurean experiences and information, enabling them to view Zagat's restaurant ratings and reviews; access unique experiences such as wine and gourmet food tastings, cooking classes and private chef events; and make dining reservations through the Visa Signature Concierge.

"Visa Signature cardholders have a clear affinity for fine wine and food, and they dine out seven times every two weeks on average," said Jim McCarthy, senior vice president, Visa USA. "They want to savor every experience - from casual dinners to tasting the country's best food and wine. Our epicurean offerings help them do this by providing unique information and access to gourmet events that appeal to their desire to refine their palate."

Research indicates that the new affluent -- Visa Signature's core audience, defined as U.S. households with more than $125,000 or more in annual income -- rely on the Internet when seeking information and making decisions, including where to dine. Affluent consumers are 73 percent more likely than the average consumer to be heavy Internet users (Mediamark Research, Inc., 2006.). And the overwhelming majority of Visa Signature cardholders (92 percent) who make restaurant reservations online tend also to research restaurants on the Internet (Visa Dining Benefits Research, June 2006.).

At www.visa.com/signaturefood, the time-stretched affluent consumer has an easy way to pursue their epicurean interests online, where they most often go for information. The site features information on fine dining and wine, as well as a point of entry to unique epicurean events, including:

-- Complimentary access to the latest Zagat restaurant ratings and reviews.

-- Access to epicurean events through partnerships with Sonoma County Vintners, Bon Appétit and Gourmet. These events provide opportunities to taste the best food and wine in the country and include unforgettable Sonoma Wine country experiences, private dinners with chefs and winemakers, and wine and food pairing events.

-- Special benefits at more than 40 Sonoma County wineries, ranging from complimentary wine tastings to discounts on purchases.

-- Cooking glasses through a new partnership with the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE).

-- Dining reservations at restaurants worldwide through the Visa Signature Concierge.

They will also receive discounts to ZAGAT.com, which offers unlimited access to ratings and reviews for restaurants in 85 cities worldwide, nightlife in 23 cities, hotels in 103 countries, and attractions in 158 cities.

Through this new partnership, we're combining the shared experiences of 300,000 savvy Zagat Surveyors with Visa's broad offerings to give their cardholders the information they want to help them make the best decisions on where to dine," said Tim Zagat, CEO of Zagat Survey.
