Bread Financial, Academy Launch myAcademy Rewards Card with 5% Discount and 2% Back
BFH has partnered with Academy Sports + Outdoors to roll out the myAcademy Rewards Mastercard, offering cardholders 5% off Academy purchases and an unlimited 2% back on everyday spending. New members get a $15 welcome credit, $30 off a $30+ purchase and a $25 reward after $500 spent.
1. Partnership Launch
Bread Financial has teamed with Academy Sports + Outdoors to introduce the myAcademy Rewards Mastercard, now available across all Academy stores and digital channels. The collaboration positions the co-branded card at the center of Academy’s loyalty ecosystem, enabling Bread Financial to tap into the retailer’s 300+ outlets in 21 states.
2. Card Rewards and Incentives
Cardholders earn 5% off everyday Academy purchases and unlimited 2% back on all other spending, with rewards deposited directly into their loyalty account. New enrollees receive a $15 welcome credit, $30 off a $30+ purchase upon account opening and a $25 reward after spending $500.
3. Strategic Implications
By embedding its credit solution into Academy’s revamped loyalty program, Bread Financial expands its private-label and co-brand card portfolio, targeting middle-income families who value outdoor recreation. The rollout is expected to drive incremental loan receivables and fee income while deepening customer engagement across retail and digital touchpoints.
