Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Yesterday, I was reviewing my recent American Express statements and saw a few upcoming changes that I wanted you to be aware of. Thankfully, none of these changes are huge. Without further ado, here are the 3 changes.
Bye bye AMEX MR Redemptions at Newegg.com and Staples.com
Effective March 31, 2025, Card Members will no longer be able to redeem Membership Rewards points on www.newegg.com and www.staples.com.
I have made several purchases at Newegg.com and Staples.com over the years, but have never used my AMEX MR Points to pay for my orders since I assumed it was a bad deal. My assumption was correct! On both websites, you can redeem 14,286 AMEX MR Points to offset $100, which is a terrible redemption at 0.7 CPP. Good riddance to this redemption option!
