NEW YORK — Fanatics and American Express have introduced a credit card that allows customers to feature their favorite professional athletes on the card and earn rewards for sports-related purchases and everyday spending, the companies announced Monday.
The Fanatics American Express Card offers designs inspired by Topps trading cards, with more than 500 athletes from the NBA, NFL, UFC and WWE available for cardholders to choose from. The companies said additional leagues and athletes will be added.
Cardholders earn FanCash, the Fanatics loyalty currency, which can be redeemed across the company’s platform for merchandise, trading cards, collectibles, tickets and access to events, including Fanatics Fest.
Additional Benefits
The companies said additional benefits include early access to selected Topps product releases and an opportunity to participate in a Championship Challenge. Participants who correctly predict the champions of the NBA, NFL, NHL and Major League Baseball could have their credit card bill paid under the promotion’s terms.
The card also includes offers, experiences and protections available through the American Express network, according to the companies.
The announcement did not specify the card’s annual fee, interest rates or the amount of FanCash earned per dollar spent.
