Not a Jolly Time of Year for Issuers as Competition Gets Fierce

NEW YORK—The holidays are anything but a jolly time of year for card issuers, as the battle for new cardholders and transactions remains fierce. That includes a new offer from one major issuer, American Express, which is offering a new perk.

Amex cardholders can now get free shipping with a complimentary ShopRunner membership. ShopRunner usually costs $79 annually, The Motley Fool reported.

ShopRunner partners with more than 100 stores. Brands like Allbirds, Under Armour, American Eagle Outfitters, NARS Cosmetics, Proflowers, bareMinerals, and NFLShop participate.

“Once you enroll in this service, you can enjoy free delivery in as little as two days when making qualifying purchases. You can also take advantage of free shipping on returns,” The Motley Fool said.
