Raise online or in-store

Here’s how raising as you shop in-store works when you’re a Fantastic Fanatic member.

Here’s how raising as you shop online works when you’re a Fantastic Fanatics member.

In-store purchases* are tracked through our card-linking technology, so please make sure you have registered your debit or credit card before making any in-store purchases.

Allow 24-hours for your card to be linked to your account. Once your card is linked then you may shop as normal with any of our in-store retailers.

Online purchases* are tracked through your Fan account. You must sign-in to your account, click ‘Go’ under any retailer then ‘Shop Now’ once you’ve looked at their commission options.


Some commissions vary depending on the products you purchase with a retailer. ‘Shop Now’ button will take you to their website. Here you shop as usual and once you make a purchase, we will send you an email confirming your donation to your club. 

*We do not see what items have been purchased, only transaction cost to allocate funds to the chosen club.

Welcome, Ross County FC!

Fantastic Fanatics is delighted to welcome RCFC onboard!

The Ross County Academy receives funds whenever their fans and stakeholders’ shop, eat out, book hotels and lots more. With no cost to clubs, organisations or supporters, the platform simply generates funds when members buy the things they are already buying at affiliated retailers.

Supporters of RCFC register with Fantastic Fanatics and choose Ross County FC as a beneficiary. They securely register their everyday debit or credit card, and purchases they make online will raise money for the club. On top of donating their spend to RC Academy, supporters are automatically entered into our cash prize draws!

Retailers taking part include a large number of major online stores including Boots, B&Q, Currys PC World, JD Sports, John Lewis, Clarks, and Sky. In the near future in-store purchases will also be supported in the Highlands, further increasing the flexibility of contributing to the development of the club youth academy, and the great work they do, on and off the pitch.

Ross County CEO, Steven Ferguson said:

“We are delighted to partner with Fantastic Fanatics. We have a large, passionate and motivated support base here at the club and this partnership could raise significant funds for the club and help deliver income for youth development and key training equipment.

“We appreciate how difficult things are for football and its supporters currently, with health concerns and the financial uncertainty that the Covid-19 pandemic has brought, therefore the fact this method of generating funds for the club does not cost the supporters anything and will allow the club / foundation to benefit from purchases they are making anyway, make the proposition very appealing”.

Fantastic Fanatics Operations Director, Barry Munro said:

We are delighted to have such an innovative and pioneering club such as Ross County FC onboard and are pleased to play a part in helping raise funds to help meet their academy’s goals and objectives. Hopefully Fantastic Fanatics can generate substantial funds for the academy and to help bring through the next Josh Reid, as well as further support and develop the provision of coaching and key training equipment.

“The technology behind Fantastic Fanatics makes things so simple for the supporter, as they can choose the association or club they want to support, make a purchase at one of their favourite online retailers and generate a commission, all with a few clicks of the mouse. Our in store offering means registered retailers will automatically send a percentage of the bill to the sports club – there is no extra card or app required. It’s business as usual at the point of sale for the consumer and the retailer.”

“Ultimately, Fantastic Fanatics enables sports clubs and organisations to worry less about the finances and get on with what they do best – delivering the benefits of sport to their communities, participants, fans and members.”
