What changed
American Express has posted its 2026 US Open cardmember perks, and the practical money item is small but time-sensitive: eligible U.S. Amex cardmembers can enroll for a one-time $10 statement credit after spending $100 or more in qualifying on-site merchandise and concessions purchases at the tournament.
The offer runs from August 30 through September 13, 2026. Amex's current US Open page says the window can extend to September 14 if final-day tournament play is extended. The offer is not valid during Fan Week, and enrollment is required before the qualifying purchase.
There are also access perks. Platinum Card and Centurion members can try to reserve The Centurion Lounge at the US Open through Resy. American Express says same-day, one-hour reservations are released daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern starting August 30, and the eligible card must be added to the member's Resy profile. Separately, Amex cardmembers can visit the Card Member Lounge on the second level of the US Open American Express Fan Experience with up to two guests, subject to capacity and while supplies last.
Key details to check
| Category | What Amex says | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Spend offer | One-time $10 statement credit after $100+ in qualifying on-site merchandise and concessions purchases | Enroll first, then use the same enrolled card on-site |
| Dates | August 30-September 13, 2026; possible September 14 extension if final-day play is extended | Do not rely on it during Fan Week |
| Eligible cards | U.S.-issued consumer and business American Express cards | Prepaid, corporate, debit, and Amex-branded cards issued by other banks are excluded |
| Cap | Limit of $10 back in total statement credits per eligible Card Member account | Do not split purchases expecting multiple $10 credits on the same account |
| Exclusions | US Open Event Cards, USTA memberships, parking vendors, bag drop, ticket sales, charity-only merchants, premium suites and banquets, third-party intermediaries | Use direct participating on-site merchants and save receipts |
| Posting timing | Amex says to allow up to 90 days after the offer end date for the credit to post | Keep the enrollment confirmation and receipt until the credit appears |
| Centurion Lounge | Platinum and Centurion members need a confirmed Resy reservation; access lasts up to one hour | Add the eligible card to Resy before reservations open each day |
Who should care
This is most useful if you are already attending the US Open and expect to buy food, drinks, or merchandise on-site. The $10 credit only reduces a $100 purchase by 10%, so it is not a reason to manufacture spending or buy more than planned. The better use case is avoiding missed value: enroll before you arrive, pay directly with the enrolled card, and avoid excluded purchase paths.
Platinum and Centurion members should care for a different reason: lounge access is capacity-constrained. If the lounge matters to your day at the tournament, the action item is not just bringing the card. It is having the eligible card in Resy and checking for same-day reservations at 9:30 a.m. Eastern.
For Perkmon tracking, this should be treated as an event-specific Amex Offer and access reminder, not a durable annual card benefit. Track the enrollment requirement, the August 30 start date, the September 13 scheduled end date, the $100 threshold, and the $10 cap.
What to do next
- Add the Amex Offer to the card you plan to use before making the purchase.
- Use the same enrolled card at participating on-site merchants, not a third-party seller or excluded US Open purchase path.
- If you have multiple eligible Amex cards, pick the one you actually want to carry and track, because the offer is limited per Card Member account.
- Platinum and Centurion members should add the eligible card to Resy before the tournament day and check reservations at 9:30 a.m. Eastern.
- Save the offer terms and receipt until the statement credit posts.
