Update 08/15/18: We finally have some additional details regarding the Centurion Suite. It will offer the following:
- Complimentary premium snacks, small bites and water, in addition to one complimentary drink (beer, wine or cocktail)*. Additional selection of finely crafted cocktails, beer and wine will be available for purchase.
- A special dish created by Cédric Vongerichten, Executive Chef of The Centurion Lounge at LaGuardia Airport, as well as wine pairings curated by The Centurion Lounge Wine Director, Anthony Giglio
- A unique photo moment to share their US Open experience at the Centurion Suite
- Flat-screen TVs
- Phone charging stations
- Dedicated WiFi network and restrooms
It will be open from 12:00-8:00 pm from August 27-September 5 and 12:00-5:00 pm from September 6-9. Seems like it’ll be worth going to to grab the one free complimentary drink and a few snacks and relaxing before leaving again.
Original post: American Express will be offering a number of benefits to cardholders at the 2018 US Open Tennis Championships. Benefits include:
- $20 statement credit when you spend $100 or more in purchases at participating merchants
- American Express Card Member Club access.
- Mobile Phone Charging Rentals.
- AmEx band for contactless payments
- American Express Radios
- US Open Merchandise
The above benefits are offered to all American Express cardholders. Platinum & Centurion cardholders will also get access to the ‘American Express Centurion Suite Access in Louis Armstrong Stadium’. Details are sparse on what this entails and as far as I know this is the first time this has been offered. The fine print states that access will be for the primary cardholder and up to two guests and availability will be on a first come first served basis. It does mention you need to be 21 to enjoy alcoholic beverages but it doesn’t mention if those beverages are complimentary.
Chase has it’s own lounge with free snacks & drinks, but that isn’t open for registration for 2018 yet.
