Leading up to this year’s US Open Tennis Tournament, American Express has announced its partnership with Break the Love Partner to Offer 10,000 Complimentary Court Reservations to All NYC Area Tennis Fans.
This year’s return to the desert by festival goers saw much excitement as we made our way back to Palm Springs for Coachella 2022.
Yesterday The Knockturnal had the opportunity to check out the American Express x NBA 2K22 Experience kick-off event now open to the public December 11th from 11am to 8pm and December 12th from 1:30pm to 7:30pm. Located at 901 W. Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles there’s tons of reasons to go check it out! While we were there we got to sit down with seven-time NBA All-Star Paul George from the Los Angeles Clippers and watch him go head to head with two-time WNBA champion Breanna Stewart from the Seattle Storms. While they played a couple of rounds of NBA 2K22 and WNBA 2K22 while answering some questions live on Twitch, we got to check out all the great perks the American Express x NBA 2K22 Experience had to offer.
The event features free NBA 2K digital merchandise, a face scan studio, immersive sights and sounds like the “Infinity Cube”, and access to exclusive physical merchandise and services.
To claim limited-time digital merchandise for their NBA 2K MyPLAYERs, Amex Card Members will be able to select their clothes and shoes and add them to their digital lockers. The Face Scan Studio allows 2K fans to take high quality face scans and upload them into the game to personalize their MyPLAYERs. After upgrading your MyPLAYERs you can head over to the “Infinity Cube” with its wall to wall mirrors to get the perfect social media post or you can head over to get your complimentary shoes cleaning. Before heading out you can check out all the amazing physical exclusive merchandise.
American Express partnered with 2K to give tons of benefits to their card members. Some perks for Card Members who purchase NBA 2K22 on the 2K Store with their Amex Card can receive 35,000 in virtual currency that can be spent on in-game purchases.

The most lit brunch took place in Miami during Art Basel thanks to author and award winning Chef Kwame along with American Express.
It all went down at the fabulous 1 Hotels in South Beach where guests enjoyed delicious food curated by the former Top Chef contestant/judge himself and sounds by DJ Moma.
“You have everything from chicken and waffles with chili honey, to jerk broccoli tacos to even lobster and salmon rolls and black truffle quiche,” said Chef Kwame about the food on the menu for the brunch festivities.
Chef Kwame’s impressive credentials include: Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, being named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs, and Esquire Magazine’s 2019 Chef of the Year amongst various others. Not to mention his memoir “Notes from a Young Black Chef,” is currently being turned into a feature film by A24.
We got to catch up with him at The Savor and Soul event where we talked about his career and got to try his delicious food first hand. Our personal favorite was the egg and steak on a mini croissant dish. That wasn’t the only thing keeping us entertained though. Heads turned when Issa Rae walked into the party.
The HBO’s Insecure creator mixed and mingled with guests before meeting up with Lizzo who’s appearance at the party also surprised the crowd. Lizzo looked dazzling wearing a purple floral one piece and it wasn’t long before a mini mob follow the two icons around eager to snap pics.
Later that evening Lizzo had a ticketed concert on the beach hosted by American Express as well. Those who might’ve not had tickets for the concert got to see a little glimpse of her at the brunch gathering.
It isn’t everyday you could say you brunched with Lizzo, and Issae Rae amongst the other notable attendees. Not to mention eating bomb food from Chef Kwame. Shout out to American Express!
All the rumors are true, LIZZO performs private concert for American Express Platinum cardholders.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The US Open is back and seating attendees at full capacity for the first time since the pandemic began. Official partner American Express hosted a very fun party last night (Aug. 24) to celebrate their pop-up tennis court activation at Pier 76. It was a beautiful evening to play tennis surrounded by the Hudson River.
Issa Rae is partnering with American Express in celebration of their newest initiative, The Ambition Project.
Delta Air Lines and American Express have teamed up to release their new Delta SkyMiles American Express Cards, and Thursday night saw their NYC kickoff event, the Out of Office winter party. Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o hosted the event along with the lifestyle brands.
Swizz Beatz’s The Dean Collection teamed up with the Marriott Bonvoy American Express card collection to celebrate Women in the Arts at the heart of South Beach during Art Basel Miami 2019. Gallerist and activist Joeonna Bellorado-Samuels worked with the hosts to create an artistic experience as part of a party to highlight the synergies between art, hospitality, and the imagination.
American Express toasted their 10th Annual Small Business Saturday on Thursday, November 21st, in NYC with a celebration of epic proportions.
