Fanatics and American Express Launch Trading Card Credit Cards

Fans can now turn everyday purchases into collectible sports memorabilia through a new collaboration between Fanatics and American Express, hypebeast.kr reported.

The Fanatics American Express Credit Card features designs modeled after traditional Topps trading cards across multiple professional leagues.

Cardholders can select from more than 500 sports stars across the NBA, NFL, UFC, and WWE to customize their physical card plates. The lineup includes prominent athletes such as Victor Wembanyama, Joe Burrow, and Cam Jordan. Users can issue multiple card designs featuring different players and link them to a single account. New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns serves as the promotional model for the new payment product.

The card carries no annual fee and offers Fanatics’ proprietary loyalty currency, FanCash, on all purchases. Cardholders earn an 8% return when checking out directly through the Fanatics app. Purchases across the broader Fanatics ecosystem—including Topps, Mitchell & Ness, Lids, and official ticket ticketing outlets—yield a 5% reward rate. All other external purchases outside the ecosystem earn 2%. Variable annual percentage rates range from 19.74% to 34.24%.

Beyond standard purchase rewards, the card grants access to curated Topps new-product releases before public sales. Cardholders also secure exclusive benefits at Fanatics Fest alongside entry opportunities for sports champion prediction contests. Current waitlist registration is limited to United States residents, with official invitations scheduled to roll out during the second half of the year.
