Log into your ShopRunner (shoprunner.com) account and you should immediately see a banner displaying a special offer for American Express Cardholders.
Upon clicking the link, it will prompt you to enter your American Express Credit Card and you will receive an additional year of ShopRunner 2-Day Shipping.
You can also go directly to the following link:
https://www.shoprunner.com/americanexpress
Note: It has to be a card that's actually issued by amex and not a 3rd party.
You must use american express card which you have not used before on shoprunner to get 1st year free

Thanks. It worked :D
Will be helpful for purchases from Newegg.

I like the idea of shoprunner. Like Amazon prime for other sites. But I just don't order enough stuff to make it worth it. Hard to believe anyone does, really.

Well a lot of us have over a year (without this deal) of shoprunner already and haven't paid a cent. I think i've only really used mine for dominos(gets rid of delivery charge) and newegg though.

Yep, I've had an account since november 2011 and I haven't paid a dime and I haven't put much of any effort into it either.
They just gave me an second year free without me asking, and then I linked with amex for another one.
EDIT: I've also used it to get discounts at newegg because some of my packages haven't arrived on time.

Yea, i mean it's free so it doesnt hurt to have it.
I only use mine for Dominos and the rare times i order from Newegg. Still useful to save a few bucks. Wouldnt pay for it though.

Yeah I've never paid for mine either. I'm on my 3rd year I think.
I only use it at Newegg.
Wonder if it'll work with a serve card.

I don't have Amex. How else do they give away membership?

Sometimes they have a 3 month trial, then they offer you a few more months. Then a year and then if you use it so many times they extend it again.

Yeah, if you're one of us that's got an unhealthy addiction to Newegg & you place several Shoprunner orders there every month, chances are they'll auto-renew you -- my guess is they take something like a 'referral' cut on purchases from Newegg/member sites (I know they aren't real 'referrals', but you get what I mean) and can thus justify giving heavy/frequent customers free memberships. Or maybe Newegg steps in and foots the bill to keep the orders flowing, who knows.
Around the holidays last year, when I was coming up on my expiration date and getting notices about discounted extension offers (~$30, so pretty cheap), I was basically all set to let it expire in hopes that not having free expedited shipping would help me cut down my spending. At the 11th hour, much to my wallet's chagrin, I get an email from them saying something like, "Surprise, next year's on us." Tricky, tricky.

already got an Amex card, so why the heck not.
signed up
free 2 day ship from newegg will be pretty sweet.
