Amex and fanatics unleash new partnership for sports fans

Get ready for a game-changing rewards experience as American Express and Fanatics team up to deliver unparalleled perks for sports enthusiasts.

Exclusive fan perks and a new credit card

As part of this groundbreaking partnership, a new Fanatics American Express card will launch later this year, offering elevated status and benefits within the Fanatics ONE loyalty program, as well as access to American Express offers, experiences, and protections.

The card will enable fans to earn FanCash on purchases, a digital rewards currency redeemable for sports apparel, trading cards, collectibles, and tickets and experiences across the Fanatics platform.

But that's not all - American Express cardholders will also enjoy special perks and interactive experiences at Fanatics events, with details to be revealed in the coming months.

A new way to redeem rewards

This partnership marks a significant expansion for American Express Membership Rewards, traditionally focused on airline and hotel transfer partners. Fanatics is set to become the first-ever sports-focused Amex Membership Rewards transfer partner, allowing U.S. consumer and business cardmembers to convert their points to FanCash within the next year.

This shift towards experiential rewards reflects a broader trend in the credit card world, offering consumers more diverse redemption options beyond traditionaltravel perks.

Whether the Fanatics American Express Card proves compelling will depend on its earning rates, annual fee, and redemption value - details still under wraps. But one thing's for certain: this partnership is a slam dunk for sports fans seeking unique rewards and experiences.
