American Express has announced a new partnership with Fanatics. This will involve three things:
- New Fanatics American Express® Card card. Card will launch later this year with details available in the coming months.
- Card will earn FanCash
- Cardhollders will receive exclusive benefits and elevated tier status within Fanatics ONE loyalty program
- Membership Rewards will be transferable to FanCash within the next year.
- American Express becomes official payment partner of Fanatics & Fanatics Fest
Our Verdict
It seems like the card will be issued by First Electronic Bank and managed by Imprint. That means this isn’t a true American Express card, it just runs on the American Express payment network. A number of brands use this set up (e.g Rakuten, Shell & More).
I can’t see being able to transfer to FanCash being that useful unless the transfer rate is really good or they offer lucrative transfer bonuses. We will add this to the list of announced credit cards for 2026.
