INSIDER SECRET: One of the best perks offered by both the personal and business Platinum cards is access to Centurion Lounges, some of the best lounges in the world.

If you hold The Platinum Card® from American Express or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, take note. At the US Open tennis tournament, you’ll have exclusive access to the American Express Centurion Suite at Louis Armstrong Stadium.

Fun perks like this help make either of these credit cards a great choice for anyone looking to earn free travel and do it in style.

Here’s more about the Centurion Suite at the US Open along with details of these two excellent cards.

For the second year, American Express is opening its Centurion Suite at the US Open, giving Amex Platinum and Business Platinum cardholders a refuge during the tournament. The suite will offer amenities like:
