Yesterday I contacted Amazon to find out why I have some "no-rush reward credits" expiring on March 1, 2020 and others that expire on March 15, 2020 when in the past it was always a group of them that expired about every 4 months, and then those that were expiring were all on the same day of that month each time.
Their response today was:
"I understand your concern regarding the expiry of the credits added to the account.
I'd like to inform you that expiry of the credits is no longer 3 or 4 times a year, or on yearly or monthly basis. The expiry of credits now depends on the date it has been added to the account and validity of credit changes from one to another.
We apologize if this has caused any confusion."
If this is an actual adjustment to the program, instead of the imaginings of only one customer service representative, it now will be much more difficult to save up credits for higher dollar purchases and you are more likely to lose saved credits as it will be difficult to track all of the multiple expiration dates that will be randomly applied to them.
Note: I think that changes were made when they added the additional uses for the credits as the verbiage has change on the explanation page as well -

But the reality is that me buying items from Target or Walgreens or even Luckys supermarket isn't really cheaper unless you factor in coupons.

Another thing to note is that my recent orders aren't getting the March 15 expiration date – they are getting March 1. Maybe there's some big strategic change here, but it seems more likely that there are some inconsistencies in the way these are distributed and/or some manual adjustments being made.
