New Fanatics Amex Card
Fanatics today unveiled the Fanatics American Express® Card. Inspired by Topps trading cards, the credit card design lets fans select their favorite player from a roster of more than 500 NBA, NFL, UFC and WWE athletes, with more leagues and players to come. Invitations to apply will be sent starting later this year.
The credit card earns FanCash, Fanatics’ loyalty currency, which can be redeemed across the Fanatics platform for authentic apparel, trading cards, collectibles, tickets, access to events like Fanatics Fest and more. Cardmembers also receive exclusive benefits, such as early access to select Topps drops, and will have the opportunity to enter the Championship Challenge for a chance to have their bill paid by correctly predicting all MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL championship winners. In addition, cardmembers enjoy American Express Network experiences, offers and protections.

FanCash Joins American Express Membership Rewards® Program
Starting today, eligible U.S. Membership Rewards® Card Members with American Express-issued Cards can transfer Membership Rewards® points into FanCash, at a rate of 1,000 points for $10 in FanCash. This establishes Fanatics as the program’s first sports transfer partner.
I doubt many people will take advantage of this new transfer option, but it’s there.
