Here Are the U.S. Open Perks You’ll Get as a Chase Cardholder

The U.S. Open, held annually in Flushing, Queens, is the final Grand Slam tournament of the professional tennis season and undoubtedly the most important tennis event held in the United States.

But did you know that you can access some premier lounges and experiences with the right credit card? Chase is once again offering perks for cardholders at the U.S. Open for another year. Here’s what you need to know.

Chase Lounge

Located right inside the East Gate entrance, the Chase Lounge is a pleasant respite from the beaming sun — and it’s open to any Chase cardholder, regardless of your card’s annual fee.

Registering for your spot at the U.S. Open Chase Lounge is easy. You’ll navigate to the Chase Lounge website, create an account, and enter your name, information, and customer service number on the back of your eligible Chase card.

There are slots (day and evening) available from August 19 to September 8, though note that it’s closed for session 18 and sessions 20 to 25. You can make reservations for up to 4 guests at a time, and if they’re already booked up, you can add yourself to the waitlist.

It’s also possible to get your name on the list by showing up in person. Chase says the lounge will offer complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, a private cash bar, free hats, custom embroidery, a complimentary happy hour, and live ESPN broadcast moments.

Of course, you (and everyone in your party) will need a ticket to the U.S. Open on the day you plan to visit the lounge.

The Lounge is open from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. for day sessions and 6 to 8:30 p.m. for evening sessions.

During Fan Week, however, the lounge’s hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The lounge isn’t open every day during Fan Week. Moreover, the lounge is available on a first-come, first-served basis during Fan Week.

Additional U.S. Open Benefits for Chase Cardholders

Chase has several unique benefits for cardholders during the tournament:

• Mobile Charger: Pick up a free mobile charger (while supplies last) at the Chase South Plaza Booth.
• Magic ATMs: Pick up Chase-branded giveaways from these machines.
• Chase Terrace: Enjoy a shaded seating area and upgraded refreshments with your Chase Pass (first come, first served). Located at the Grandstand, the terrace offers views of Courts 8-10. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily during Fan Week and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during Sessions 1-16 of the Main draw. The terrace isn’t open for Sessions 17-25.

Exclusive Benefits for Chase Sapphire Reserve^® Cardholders

Those with the Chase Sapphire Reserve card get some extra special love at the U.S. Open. These events can be booked through the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal.

• Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders can participate in Sapphire Clinics with Andy Roddick, winner of the U.S. Open in 2003. These take place on the roof of Pier 17 on Monday, August 26, and Tuesday, August 27.
