: Three new [[WellieWishers]] books:

:* ''[[The Mystery of Mr. E]]''
 
:* ''[[The Rainstorm Brainstorm]]''

: One of the biggest changes is that the prices of dolls have dropped across the board. All 18" dolls are now $98. [[Truly Me]] dolls now come with the book ''Friends: Making Them and Keeping Them.''

  +
: Furthermore, the [[Historical Characters]] have shed the [[BeForever]] branding. The new books for the first six characters to be revamped--Kaya, Rebecca, Nanea, Maryellen, Melody, and Julie--have illustrations (returned for Rebecca and Kaya, updated for Julie, and new for Melody, Maryellen, and Nanea) but are now abridged. Please see each book's article for details on what had been added or removed. Also, all pets have been revamped and now have button eyes.

:* [[Gunpowder and Tea Cakes]]

: As of right now there is very little detail on the last three books, other than two are by Valerie Tripp; however, the titles seem to lean towards a focus on Felicity.
 
   
  +

[[File:Agnutcracker.jpg|thumb|275px|A Special Preorder for Gold and Berry Members!]]
; July 28, 2016 / AG Rewards
 
[[File:AGRewards.png|thumb|200px|Welcome to A*G Rewards!]]
 
: Several weeks late with the news, but: American Girl has started a rewards program, aptly named [[AG Rewards]], that rewards customers for their purchases with rewards. The program is free to sign up for. At its most basic, every dollar spent (minus taxes and/or shipping) is a point added to the account with a $10 reward coupon issued after 200 points (so $200 of puchases). Other exclusive offers are given as higher levels of points are reached in a year: Silver (0-349); Gold (350-699), and Berry (700+).
 
   
  +
: Gold and Berry members of the AG Rewards program may pre-order the Nutcracker-themed [[Nutcracker Snow Queen Outfit]] and [[Nutcracker Prince and Clara Outfit Set]], which are limited numbered sets of 10,000 and 5,000 respectively for 18" dolls. Preorders are open until July 31st. The sets will be shipped by August 16th and not be available outside of the pre-order before October 1st. There is a limit of three per customer.
More information can be found on the website at [http://www.americangirl.com/shop/agrewards A*G Rewards]; details will be placed on the Wiki later on.

; July 9th, 2019 / Changes to the [[AG Rewards]] program
   
  +
[[File:Berry-star.png|thumb|200px|Berry Level!]]
: Amazon listings for Girl of the Year 2017 have appeared:
 
   
  +
: A new overhaul of the AG Rewards program launches today. The most prominent change is that each tier is reached by dollar amounts spent annually, not points accumulated per year.
:* [https://www.amazon.com/American-Girl-Year-2017-Novel/dp/1338136984/ Book 1]
 
:* [https://www.amazon.com/American-Girl-Year-2017-Novel/dp/133813700X/ Book 2], scheduled for release in March 2017
 
   
  +
: Furthermore, each reward level will have its own unique annual reward certificate gift. Berry level members also will not have points expire as long as the level is maintained.
: The author, Teresa E. Harris, is a woman of color and the books she has written have featured protagonists of color, so there is a possibility GOTY 2017 may be a girl of color.
 
   
  +
: Until July 31st, the first purchase under the new rewards system will earn two times points on current levels.
: There is a trio of books written by Kellen Hertz, who co-authored [[Lea and Camila]] with Lisa Yee:
 
   
  +
: More information is available on the article page, with full legal information available via reading the terms and conditions on [https://www.americangirl.com/wcsstore/AG/images/CustomerService/AGRewards/AGRewards_TC_20180109.pdf the AG Rewards website.]

:* [https://www.amazon.com/American-Girl-Contemporary-Character-Journal/dp/1338137042/ Contemporary MG Series 1, Character Journal]
 
 
: The only information of note is that these three books appear to be targeting middle grade (ages 8-12) readers and seems to be an original series of contemporary fiction outside the GOTY line.
 
 
: It bears repeating: '''this wiki has a zero-tolerance policy on rumors and speculation''', and any form of rumormongering will get you banned.

: The [[BeForever]] line got nothing, though [[Melody Ellison|Melody's]] [[Never Stop Singing|second volume]] and [[Music in My Heart: My Journey with Melody|My Journey Book]] is now available, which means you can now get Melody's 3-book set if you held out on the first volume (or trade in the first book against the cost, if you just couldn't wait). The doll and her collection will be released in August this year.
 
 
: It also appears that the [[Bitty Twins]] are on their way to [[Retirement|retirement]] as related outfits and accessories are gone and only the dolls remain purchasable at the time of this writing. ETA: It has been confirmed that the Bitty Twins are now retired. Fare thee well, Bitty Twins.
 
 
: No matter how exciting it is to see new items from American Girl, the rules of the wiki are the same: write well-written contributions for new or existing articles, and if someone comes in and removes or edits your work, don't be a drama queen. We don't tolerate poor writing or behavior, and if something needs to be debated, use that article's talk page.

American Girl Wiki News: Read All About It!
Newspaper-icon-2   
October 22, 2019 / American Girl at Costco 2019
The following sets are available at Costco warehouse stores for the holiday season:
  • American Girl Doll Bundles for $119.99 (savings are calculated on new cost of dolls at $98):
  • Bitty Baby sets: a Bitty Baby doll (Dark Skin, Black Hair, Brown Eyes; Light Skin, Blond Hair, Blue Eyes; or Light Skin, Dark Brown Hair, Brown Eyes), two cloth diapers, print sleeper, diaper bag, Pink Top, Purple leggings, Purple shoes, cloth headband, and baby bottle for $79.99.
  • WellieWishers sets: Any of the five characters, a fox-style sleeping bag, a unique set of fox pajamas, popcorn bowl and cups, and the Flutter Wings Doll Carrier for $99.99.
  • Truly Me Desk and School Set: Kitten Sweater, Playful Print Skirt, unique plastic headband, unique blue flats, unique denim backpack, unique version of the Flip-Top Desk (with chair), folder, two pencils, three sheets of lined notebook paper, two sheets of graph paper, protractor, two calendars, and times-tables sheet for $69.99.
  • Historical Characters Book + Journal sets: Bundles of the newly released abridged Central Series books and an Activity Journal (the same for all characters) for $14.99.
October 1, 2019 / The New Fall and Winter Release
A lot of new items have released for American Girl across almost every line, and several changes have been implemented for purchasing.
One of the biggest changes is that the prices of dolls have dropped across the board. All 18" dolls are now $98. Truly Me dolls now come with the book Friends: Making Them and Keeping Them.
Furthermore, the Historical Characters have shed the BeForever branding. The new books for the first six characters to be revamped--Kaya, Rebecca, Nanea, Maryellen, Melody, and Julie--have illustrations (returned for Rebecca and Kaya, updated for Julie, and new for Melody, Maryellen, and Nanea) but are now abridged. Please see each book's article for details on what had been added or removed. Also, all pets have been revamped and now have button eyes.

A new gift option is available: the customized gift experience. With this a doll is selected--using a quiz about the recipient that narrows down options, but any doll may be ultimately selected--and then a Starter set or Gift Trunk may be purchased of varying cost.
The Starter Set includes the following:
  • Choice of doll
  • One book related to doll
  • Choice of one play pack
  • Personalized letter to gift recipient with envelope
  • Optional free Ear Piercing
  • Added on Hearing Aids
  • $5.00 AG Rewards certificate for future order for Rewards members

The Gift Trunk includes the following:

  • Choice of doll
  • One book related to doll
  • Choice of two play packs
  • Personalized letter to gift recipient with envelope
  • Optional free Ear Piercing
  • Added on Hearing Aids
  • Premium storage container
  • First-year wellness visit through American Girl Hospital
  • $10.00 AG Rewards certificate for future order for Rewards members
Both options come with free shipping and handling. Non-members must sign up within three days of purchase to be eligible for the Rewards Certificate.

On to the new things.

Berry-star

Berry Level!

A new overhaul of the AG Rewards program launches today. The most prominent change is that each tier is reached by dollar amounts spent annually, not points accumulated per year.
Furthermore, each reward level will have its own unique annual reward certificate gift. Berry level members also will not have points expire as long as the level is maintained.
Until July 31st, the first purchase under the new rewards system will earn two times points on current levels.
More information is available on the article page, with full legal information available via reading the terms and conditions on the AG Rewards website.
