The MyGulbenkian account and the Cartão Gulbenkian are related but serve different purposes. The former is a general account for accessing services provided by the Gulbenkian Foundation (for example, submitting grant applications or downloading publications from the website) and the latter is a loyalty programme that offers its own benefits and advantages.

While you can use your existing MyGulbenkian credentials to log in and join the Cartão Gulbenkian, they are not the same; the Cartão Gulbenkian is an extension to your basic account.

When joining the Cartão Gulbenkian Programme, you will be asked for personal details, such as your address and phone number, which are not required to create a MyGulbenkian account. However, profile data is shared, meaning any changes made to your personal data during the Cartão Gulbenkian registration will be also reflected in your MyGulbenkian account.
