U.S. Open Amex Offer

If you read our article on the best current Amex Offers, you probably noticed a nice U.S. Open offer:

Be sure to add the offer so that when you spend $100 or more, you get $10 back.

Bag Check Discount

Due to strict security and bag limitations, guests are only allowed 1 bag no larger than 12 x 12 x 16 inches.

Guests with extra bags will be directed to the bag storage facility located outside the South and East gates.

There will be a “nominal charge” for checked bags; however, Amex cardholders can save $5 per card.

American Express Radios

With matches playing at the same time, you may want to watch one and listen to another.

Cardholders will have access to American Express Radios that will have the ESPN live broadcast, so no you won’t miss out on the action.

These earpiece radios are limited to 1 per card and only while supplies last.

Fan Experience

Everyone loves a souvenir or something to remember a fun experience, and there will be no shortage of either at the 2023 U.S. Open.

American Express U.S. Consumer cardmembers can claim a free digital collectible (NFT) inside the U.S. Open American Express Fan Experience, as well as participate in a live mural experience with illustrator Vero Escalante.

Fans can also take part in some Glow Tennis, cryotherapy by Kollectiv, and of course, there will be plenty of concessions to purchase at the checkout-free American Express Shop in the South Plaza.

Final Thoughts

The U.S. Open is one of the most popular sporting events of the year and the most prestigious tennis tournament in the U.S., so getting special perks and discounts is always welcome.

For Amex cardholders, those are plentiful this year. Just be sure to make a reservation in advance if you want to guarantee access to the Centurion Lounge.

Besides that, grab a Honey Deuce cocktail and enjoy some world-class tennis matches!
