We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Introducing the Oddest American Express Cardholder Benefit – Extended NBA Jersey Assurance! Jimmy Butler Fans Pay Attention!

Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

Every sports fan has been there.  We’ve made the large investment into our favorite team and purchased the jersey of our favorite player.  And then, they get traded…now it’s an awkward piece of clothing you never end up wearing again.

But, there’s no need to worry because American Express has you covered with Jersey Assurance!  And it’s available to anyone with an American Express card!

What A Cool Perk for American Express Cardholders!

While this is an awesome offer for NBA fans, there are some terms:

If your jersey qualifies for replacement, you are eligible to get a jersey of the same team or to follow the player to his new team.  For example, when Gordon Hayward left the Utah Jazz to go to the Boston Celtics, you would have been able to get either a Donovan Mitchell Utah Jazz jersey (same team) or get a Gordon Hayward Celtics jersey (same player).

Normally, you’re only covered if a player changes teams within 90 days of purchase.  So making the purchase with your American Express card will extend the coverage an additional ~9 months.  It’s important to note that you’re not covered if a player only changes their number or name, like when Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace and then to The Panda’s Friend.

It is great to see that American Express is becoming a lifestyle brand around our everyday purchases.  While I doubt I’ll ever use this perk, a die-hard NBA fan will find real value in this!

What’s the oddest credit card perk you’ve ever cashed in on?  I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
