New Credit Card from Fanatics and American Express Earns FanCash

Fanatics has launched a credit card bearing its name in partnership with American Express. The card earns FanCash, the company's loyalty currency. FanCash can be used for apparel, collectibles, event tickets, and access to events such as Fanatics Fest.

Domestic applicants can join the waitlist for the card. Approved cardholders can personalize their cards with more than 500 athletes from the NBA, NFL, UFC, and WWE. The company has said it plans to add more athletes and leagues in the future.

The card earns 5% FanCash on purchases made on Fanatics platforms and 8% FanCash on purchases made in the Fanatics app. Cardholders earn 5% on sports event tickets and streaming services, and 2% on other purchases. The card has no annual fee. Cardholders also get early access to select Topps products. Users who spend $1,000 in the first 90 days receive $100 in FanCash, and those who spend $500 each month for 12 months receive an additional $100 in FanCash for each month.

The card also includes a prediction feature. Cardholders who correctly pick the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL champions can win up to $100,000, depending on their annual card spending. Fanatics is also joining the American Express Membership Rewards program. Points in this program can be converted to $10 of FanCash for every 1,000 points. Fanatics is the first sports transfer partner of this program.
