I just had "expired" points earned in July. Worthless mainly now in comparison to when first released.
I stopped buying from Kindle in November 2024, when the Kindle Rewards program ended the “Spend $XX, get $YY credit” promotions. Given the exploding nature of the points I was never going to accumulate enough to redeem and without the Spend $XX aspect, Kobo was always going to be cheaper anyway, if you bought discounted gift cards and used price matching.

Obviously buying from Kobo won’t work for the direct download types, but there’s not a lot of us at MR.

What means this: "exploding nature of the points"?

They have expiration dates. I couldn’t accumulate them fast enough to convert to a credit before they started to expire.

I'll choose the word "vanishing" or "atomized".

I, as well, have the same problem.
