An AMS Point entitles the holder to a $1 discount on the purchase of AMS books (or other publications) and miscellaneous items, such as AMS t-shirts. With the limit of 20 AMS Points, they may also be used towards membership dues. AMS Points have no cash value and expire on December 31, two years after the year in which they were issued. For example, a point awarded on April 23, 2018 will expire on December 31, 2020.
You can view your AMS Points balance online by logging into your 'web account' on the AMS website. The 'your web account' link is AMS Sign In . If you do not already have an AMS web account, you can easily create one from the login screen. After you have logged in to your web account, you will be asked for your MR Reviewer Number or AMS Points ID (whichever is applicable to you) in addition to some basic information.
Note that recent transactions may not be reflected in your AMS Points balance in your AMS web account. It may take up to three (3) business days to record points transactions in your AMS Points balance.
Individuals in developing countries are permitted to donate AMS Points to their institutions to use as a discount on purchases of AMS publications. We ask the contributor to provide notification of donation by contacting Customer Service at: cust-serv@ams.org.
Institutions using points toward a purchase must order directly from the AMS by contacting Sales and Member Services. This benefit is applicable only to individuals and institutions in developing countries. The list of developing countries is available at this link: Developing Countries List.
