Fanatics is bringing the trading card look to fans' wallets with its new American Express credit card.
Fanatics has unveiled the Fanatics American Express Card, a credit card with more than 500 design options based on Topps trading cards of NBA, NFL, UFC, and WWE athletes.
- Fanatics and American Express launch co-branded credit card.
- Cardholders can earn FanCash through purchases across the Fanatics ecosystem, including their Sportsbook and Casino.
- The card also offers American Express network benefits, while Membership Rewards points can be transferred into FanCash.
“Sports fans are not ordinary consumers, and this is not just another credit card,” said Greg Lisiewski, president of Fanatics Financial Services, said in a release. “We built this credit card alongside American Express and Imprint to be the true badge of fandom and to reward fans in more ways than ever before.”
As part of the perks of the new Fanatics card, cardholders will earn FanCash on fandom purchases that can be used for rewards for merchandise, Fanatics events, and even at Fanatics Sportsbook and Casino.
“This card unleashes the power of the Fanatics platform – from the gear fans wear to the tickets they buy or the collectibles they seek out – and creates yet another touchpoint to reward our fans through a robust payments solution that has not been seen in this space,” said Lisiewski.
Fanatics, Amex further integrate
FanCash benefits for cardholders include:
- 5% FanCash on purchases across the Fanatics ecosystem, including Fanatics.com, Mitchell & Ness and Lids, and 8% on purchases made through the Fanatics app.
- $100 FanCash after spending $1,000 in the first 90 days, plus an additional $100 FanCash for spending $500 a month over 12 consecutive months.
- The chance to earn $100,000 in annual credit card spending back if they correctly predict all four MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL champions.
- Floor access and additional perks for Fanatics Fest.
The card also comes with standard American Express network benefits on shopping, dining and travel, as well as Amex ticket presales for select events, including sports, music and theater events.

American Express members will also be able to connect with the Fanatics ecosystem by transferring Membership Rewards points into FanCash at a rate of 1,000 points for $10 in FanCash, making Fanatics the program’s first sports transfer partner.
“Sports fandom is bigger than the game; it’s about the teams, athletes, and unforgettable moments that bring fans together,” said Will Stredwick, American Express' executive vice president of global network services for North America. “With a global sports portfolio spanning more than 50 leagues, teams, venues, and marquee events, American Express knows how to create memorable fan experiences. Together with Fanatics, we’re making fandom more rewarding with the new Fanatics American Express Card.”
New Fanatics sportsbook and casino customers can also earn $350 in FanCash by using Fanatics promo code COVERS350 and placing a $20 bet.
