- American Express opened its Salt Lake City Centurion lounge yesterday. I don’t normally report on lounge openings or updates because there are plenty of spots on the internet with that sort of boring news completely covered, usually including a full 623 pictures per article with studio lit photos featuring cheese cubes at the buffet and a neutral painting on the wall at an empty lounge all vying for a diminishing number of clicks from casual google searches.
This opening though has none of those articles, indicating that American Express didn’t pay for first class tickets, hotel rooms, and fine dining for a bunch of affiliate bloggers to get a sneak peak complete with pre-written copy for their posts.

– 0.5x earning
– 2,500 Rapid Rewards after $100 spend in 90 days
– $6.99 monthly fee is waived with $2,500 on deposit at Sunrise
– Annual bonus of up to 7,500 Rapid Rewards based on spend
There’s almost certainly some juice here for the right use cases. An important, outstanding question is whether you can hold both this card and the likely upcoming United Debit card also issued by Sunrise simultaneously. - Breeze Airways has a promotion for 35% off of base fares using promo code CHARMED for travel purchased by Friday and flown between December 2 and March 3, 2026.
