Every year American Express has benefits for the U.S. Open. Currently we don’t know what the benefits are, but you can get early access to purchasing tickets starting 5/28. Last years benefits were as follows:
- Centurion Suite At Louis Armstrong Arena. Platinum cardholders can book a 60 minute dining experience and bring up to two guests.
- American Express Card Member Lounge. Second floor of US Open American Express Fan Experience
- American Express Radios. These will be distributed on site to cardmembers while supplies last and are complimentary.
- $20 off $100+ at participating merchants

Does this work for BCP or any lower tier / free cards?
Is this only for the personal or does it apply to business cards as well?
I didn't go last year but the Centurion Suite definitely worked for Biz Plat as well in multiple past years.
Please excuse stupid question. What is American Express Radios?
Probably the radio earpieces that let you listen to the play-by-play/color commentators while you watch the match. Trust me, its extremely boring otherwise, lol
Booo! Not sure if you're a tennis fan but the main issue for a lot of casual attendees is that they are missing the best experiences.
It's definitely not sitting up high in Arthur Ashe Stadium watching a top ranked player throttle a lower ranked player. For my $, it's watching doubles anywhere but especially where you can get up close and see the velocity and spin of the ball. It's also watching a qualifier trying to make it into the 3rd round and make more money than all of the crappy Challenger events he/she has played the rest of the year in uninspiring places with only friends and family watching. It's identifying the next big thing on the outside (small) courts. So go but do yourself a favor and don't spend all of your time in Ashe.
In fact a few times in the last few years we've had Ashe tickets and never bothered to go in because it was always the last resort versus the above. Enjoy!
So you are telling people who aren't die hard tennis fans that they are missing out at the US Open because they are sitting in Centurion Lounges enjoying gourmet food watching close ups of tennis matches on big screens surrounded by cheering fans while you bake in the sun on the outer courts.
Thanks for saving space for the rest of us.
did you just brag about going to a live venue to watch the event on a tv screen? take up all the space you want in there then my man
I'd recommend looking up what a local sports bar is, that seems to be what you're looking for
If I'm paying all that money, I better be watching Nadal and not Nagal, haha
They are disposable radios that hook to one ear and broadcast the radio feed (this might be just the TV feed). They look ridiculous and create use amounts of unnecessary trash, but my mother has a collection of about 50 because she a. cannot turn down something free and b. cannot throw anything away...
