: 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.
; February 7, 2017 / Upcoming Modification to 18" dolls
 
   
  +
: 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.
[[File:AGPermanentPanties.jpg|thumb|250px|L to R: Current removable underwear, modified permanent underwear, swimsuit over permanent underwear.]]
 
   
  +
: Until July 31st, the first purchase under the new rewards system will earn two times points on current levels.
: Recent information from American Girl on their Facebook page ([https://www.facebook.com/americangirl/photos/a.417907931585706.91492.175829615793540/1327998453909978/?type=3]) reveals that, starting in 2017, several dolls will be modified so that their underwear will be a permanent part of the cloth torsos. This will apply to [[Maryellen Larkin (doll)|Maryellen]], [[Melody Ellison (doll)|Melody]], [[Julie Albright (doll)|Julie]], [[Truly Me]] dolls, and upcoming contemporary characters (but not Tenney Grant). Official statement [https://www.facebook.com/americangirl/photos/a.417907931585706.91492.175829615793540/1327998453909978/?type=3&comment_id=1328051480571342&reply_comment_id=114060802446059&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D] is that the modification was made "for a variety of reasons, including consumer research that's shown that having the underwear fixed to the body will make play easier for some and will ensure the underwear is less likely to be lost or need to be replaced." They will continue to sell separate brief and underwear sets. This will be a rolling replacement among Truly Me and other dolls.

: 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.]
: We will not discuss this on the wiki in detail (or any other upcoming dolls) before they are released.
 
 
: ETA: A [http://jezebel.com/everyones-really-upset-that-they-cant-take-the-panties-1792137653 E-mail] to Jezebel from American Girl includes the following addition, also citing cost issues:
 
 
::''The decision to make this change was made for several reasons, including our ability to continue producing a quality product without the price of our dolls going up. And because we learned from our consumer research that the new underwear design will make play easier for some children and will ensure the underwear cannot be lost, we hoped it was an overall benefit for most. Having observed for decades how girls play with our dolls, outfits, and accessories, we believe the change will not limit how a young girl imagines or interacts with her doll.''

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.
For Historical Characters:
Nanea:
Maryellen:
Melody:
Julie:
Kaya:
Rebecca:
For Truly Me:
Smart Girl's Guide Kits (these come with the book, items and a choice of one of six modern-dressed mini dolls):

July 9th, 2019 / Changes to the AG Rewards program
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.
