🎙️ Your 5-minute voice memo 👇
Heading to the U.S. Open? Your credit card can get you some serious perks around the tournament, and potentially save you money along the way. Chase and Amex cardholders can access lounges with free food and drinks, shaded seating, and even free MTA ticket giveaways. We break down which cards get you into which spaces and when you need to reserve a spot. If you don't want to spend $23 on a Honey Deuce or splurge on chicken nuggets topped with caviar, these lounges can be pretty appealing.
American Airlines is bringing seatback screens back to its narrowbody planes after years of removing them. The new 4K screens will have Bluetooth, USB-C charging, and more personalized entertainment, but the rollout won't start until 2028. It's a pretty major reversal for an airline that spent years betting travelers would rather use their own devices. Allegiant also just started selling tickets for its new first class, and we look at what you actually get with the new cabin and whether it's worth the upgrade.
On the cruise front, Disney Cruise Line extended a savings offer worth up to $500 per guest on select seven-night sailings, including trips you've already booked, as long as you lock it in by August 30. If you've got a cruise coming up, it's worth checking your reservation.
