Newegg has no birthday reward, and its paid Premier membership is gone. The free replacement, Newegg+, doesn’t mention birthdays either. Cashback is where the money is: TopCashback says up to 5% and Price.com says 1%.
What Newegg Is
Newegg’s corporate page says “Newegg Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEGG) was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Diamond Bar, California.” Wikipedia’s Newegg article names Fred Chang as the founder, says Hangzhou Liaison took a majority stake in 2016 and says the company listed on Nasdaq in May 2021. Newegg Business, a separate business-to-business arm, has its own rewards enrollment page, and it isn’t a consumer birthday program.
The Real Route: A Genuine Cashback Rate
TopCashback’s Newegg page reads “Get up to 5% of the price back with our Newegg Cash Back offers.” Price.com’s page reads “Earn 1% cash back at Newegg.” The two portals disagree, so treat the real number as somewhere between 1% and 5% and check both the day you order. Fluz lists Newegg at “1.5% cashback,” its generic baseline, not a Newegg-specific rate.
The Membership That Ended
Newegg’s Premier page says “Newegg is canceling the Premier Membership and neither accepting new members nor renewals. However, we will be launching a completely new loyalty program we think will benefit more of our shoppers in the coming months, so stay tuned!” The page carries no date. Its Newegg+ knowledge-base page, updated July 21, 2026, describes the new program: “Newegg+ is a free loyalty program that saves you time and money with benefits like free shipping, exclusive offers, member-only discounts, and a dedicated customer service line.” To join, you create a Newegg account or sign in, then opt in, and the page says “Signing up is free.” Its terms cover free standard shipping on a wide selection of items within the contiguous United States and the District of Columbia, a 10% discount on product warranties, and expedited return processing for eligible items. No birthday text appears in any of it.
EggPoints and the Anniversary Sale
The EggPoints terms say one hundred points are equivalent to one dollar, that points expire one year after they were first made available to use, and that the promotion has “no pre-determined termination date.” They contain no birthday reward. Newegg also has a corporate page announcing details of its 21st anniversary sale. Newegg was founded in 2001, so that event was the company celebrating itself, not a discount tied to your birthday.
What Was Actually Checked
Newegg’s Premier page, Newegg+ knowledge-base page, EggPoints terms, corporate Who We Are page, home page and NeweggBusiness rewards enrollment page were read. The home page invites you to “Sign up to receive exclusive offers in your inbox,” with an email box only. The sign-in page showed “You’re not signed in,” and the create-account form wasn’t visible without a session, so whether it asks for a birthday wasn’t confirmed. The Newegg+ launch coverage on digitalcommerce360.com is dated April 2024, and Newegg’s own release on BusinessWire refused a page request.
Eligibility and Cost
Newegg+ costs nothing and layers onto a regular Newegg account. Its free shipping covers the contiguous United States and DC and excludes Hawaii and Alaska. The warranty discount can’t be combined with other offers, promotions or discounts, and it isn’t transferable. Cashback portals are separate from all of this, and they need their own free account.

Q: What is Newegg+?
A: A free loyalty program. Its terms cover free standard shipping in the contiguous United States and DC, a 10% discount on product warranties and expedited return processing.
Q: How do EggPoints work?
A: One hundred points equal one dollar, and points expire one year after they were first made available to use.
