Fanatics has partnered with American Express to launch the Fanatics American Express card, transforming daily purchases into a sports collecting experience.
The card takes direct inspiration from the designs of Topps, the iconic trading card company. Cardholders can order and link multiple cards to a single account, each featuring a different athlete such as Victor Wembanyama, Joe Burrow, or Cam Jordan.
This approach allows fans to carry a piece of their favorite sports with them in their wallet. The card is promoted by New York Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns to appeal to sports merchandise collectors.
Cardholders earn FanCash, Fanatics’ exclusive loyalty currency, on all purchases. The rewards structure is tiered: 8% in FanCash when shopping on the Fanatics app, 5% on purchases through the rest of the brand’s ecosystem—including Topps, Mitchell & Ness, Lids, and the ticketing platform—and 2% on all other external spending.
Additional perks include early access to certain Topps card releases, exclusive privileges at the Fanatics Fest, and entry into sports prediction contests. The card has no annual fee.
The card’s APR ranges from 19.74% to 34.24%. It is currently available only to the U.S. market. A waitlist for the Fanatics American Express card has been opened, with official invitations expected to be sent out throughout the year. Interested individuals can join the list to receive an invitation once it becomes available.
