American Express, Fanatics Launch Sports Rewards Card

American Express is expanding further into sports and loyalty with a new partnership that ties payments, rewards and fan engagement together. The company said Thursday (May 20) that it is partnering with Fanatics to launch a co-branded credit card, add sports-focused rewards options and deepen its presence across Fanatics’ commerce and events ecosystem. The move comes as card issuers compete for spending volume and customer loyalty by pairing payments with experiences and tailored rewards.
