We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    There’s good news if you have any version of the Amex Platinum card, including The Platinum Card® from American Express or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express. As of today (January 6th), your cards get you access to two new airport lounges at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport — an Amex Centurion Lounge and an Escape Lounge. Enrollment required for select benefits.

    This is the ninth U.S. Centurion Lounge and the twelfth U.S. Escape lounge, there are also four new U.S. Centurion Lounges coming soon to Los Angeles, New York (JFK), Charlotte and Denver. With your card and a same-day boarding pass, you and up to two guests can visit either lounge for free. However, you can only enter Centurion Lounges up to three hours before departure, unless you’re on a connecting flight.

    New airport lounges open at Phoenix

    Both lounges share the same entrance and are located in Terminal 4 across from gate B22. They are both open from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. If you are departing from another terminal you will need to clear security at Terminal 4 as there is no airside access from the other terminals.

    Later this month, there will be another American Express card that will get you access to Centurion Lounges. The Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card comes with complimentary access to Amex Centurion Lounges, but you have to pay $50 per guest for up to two guests. Also, you must be traveling with Delta and your airfare must be purchased with a U.S. issued Amex card.

    If you don’t have a card that gets you into Escape Lounges you can pay $45 at the door and children under 24 months old are free. Or if you book online more than 24 hours in advance you’ll only pay $40.
