Reported: AmEx pushes Newark Centurion Lounge opening to 2027, eyes expansions at three airports
Reported by NerdWallet · 2026-10-08
According to NerdWallet, travelers passing through Newark Liberty International will not see the planned Centurion Lounge open before 2027. The report characterizes the Newark location as the biggest Centurion Lounge AmEx has planned.
The same report says American Express intends to broaden its lounge footprint at three major airports. NerdWallet does not identify those airports in the material available here, so specific locations, timelines and eligibility remain unconfirmed.
Key points
- NerdWallet reports the Newark (EWR) Centurion Lounge opening has slipped to 2027.
- The Newark location is described as the largest Centurion Lounge planned to date.
- AmEx reportedly plans lounge expansions at three major airports, unnamed in the report summary.
Tip: If Newark is on your itinerary before 2027, plan lounge time around currently operating options rather than a Centurion Lounge at EWR, and check AmEx's lounge locator before you book.

Amex announces four Centurion Lounge updates, including Newark, Houston and Philadelphia
Reported by The Points Guy · 2026-10-08
American Express has outlined four updates to its Centurion Lounge network, per The Points Guy, centered on a new Newark location that the publication calls the largest Centurion Lounge to date, plus major expansions at Houston and Philadelphia.
Because the reported announcement does not specify opening dates, square footage figures, or any change to entry requirements, the practical effect for cardholders is a future capacity increase at those airports rather than an immediate change to current lounge access.
Key points
- Four Centurion Lounge updates announced, per The Points Guy.
- Newark location described as the largest Centurion Lounge yet.
- Expansions reported for Houston and Philadelphia.
Tip: If you route through Newark, Houston or Philadelphia, check American Express's official Centurion Lounge page for confirmed opening dates before building a trip around the new or expanded spaces; the reported announcement did not include a timeline.

Frequent Miler: FedEx out, UPS in for Amex Business Gold Flexible Business Credit
Reported by Frequent Miler · 2026-10-07
The Business Gold Card's Flexible Business Credit lets cardholders choose among eligible categories and earn credits on qualifying purchases. According to Frequent Miler, FedEx is being dropped from that list of options and UPS is being added, with the change dated 10/1/26. The publisher frames this as an American Express announcement; CardPecker found no official Amex page in the evidence available at the time of writing.
For cardholders who had designated FedEx as their selected category, the practical effect is that FedEx spending may no longer generate the credit. Because the specific eligible categories, credit amounts, enrollment mechanics and any selection deadlines are not confirmed in the evidence reviewed, treat the reported change as a prompt to check your own account terms rather than as a complete description of the benefit.
Key points
- Reported change: FedEx removed as a Flexible Business Credit usage option on the Amex Business Gold Card
- UPS reportedly added as an eligible option in FedEx's place
- Frequent Miler dates the change 10/1/26; Amex has not been independently confirmed in the evidence reviewed
Tip: If you hold the Amex Business Gold Card and rely on the Flexible Business Credit, sign in to your American Express account, confirm which category is currently selected, and switch away from FedEx if it is still your choice. Check Amex's own benefit terms for the current eligible list and credit amounts.
