New Perks for Paid Subscribers!
We're expanding benefits for our paid subscribers, with more downloadable dining guides, the American Weekender Google Map, custom travel itineraries, and more.
Happy New Year!
As we gear up for a busy travel season at American Weekender, we wanted to update you on some new perks we’re adding for paid subscribers in 2025. If you have any travel plans in the works this year, a subscription to this newsletter is a valuable resource to help you eat well across the country. In 2025, we’re making it even easier for our paid subscribers to get all the information they need, when they need it.
Here are the revised American Weekender benefits for 2025:

Hi! I just upgraded to paid and would love to access the complimentary field guides but I'm not quite sure how to do that. The discount code I received in my email was for 50% off. Do the complimentary perks kick in later? Thank you!
I might have missed this but where can subscribers find the code for the field guides or access those moving forward? Thank you!
