American Express is elevating the spectator experience at the 2025 US Open Tennis Championships through a series of exclusive benefits tailored for cardholders and general attendees alike.

Building on its three-decade partnership with the tournament, the financial services company will offer premium amenities, including two distinct lounges. One of these spaces will be for all card members. It will feature interactive customization stations for hats and shoelaces alongside specialty cocktail flights. The other is the ultra-exclusive Centurion Lounge for Platinum cardholders. This experience will also feature hef-curated dining experiences.

The American Express Fan Experience area at the 2025 US Open Tennis Championships, on the other hand, introduces new interactive elements like a first-person tennis ball perspective video creator and returning favorites such as glow-in-the-dark tennis simulations, while practical touches like complimentary refresh stations with personal care items enhance comfort throughout the event.
