How do eReader Rewards Work?

The eReader Rewards system allows you to earn 15% or more on every purchase you make at eReader.com. To earn eReader Rewards all you have to do is sign up for our newsletter. Rewards Dollars are automatically earned on every purchase, and are automatically applied to future orders at eReader.com. Rewards Dollars earned on prior orders may cancel out part or even all of the purchase price of the new order.

Your shopping cart clearly displays the Rewards Dollars being applied to the current order, and the amount earned for your next order.

Do eReader Rewards Replace the Newsletter Coupon?

Yes. In our surveys, the overwhelming majority of our customers said they would prefer an automatic 15% Rewards system over a 10% coupon code.

With eReader Rewards there are no codes to type in, everything is automatic. Everything you buy earns at least 15% in eReader Rewards Dollars. The percentage return is higher than the 10% coupon and it is automatically applied to your next order.

eReader Rewards is more convenient and offers much better savings for our regular customers.

Are There Any Restrictions on Rewards Earnings?

Anyone who subscribes to the eReader newsletter qualifies for eReader Rewards. You earn Rewards Dollars on any amount not covered by your past Rewards applied to an order.

For example, if you had $2.00 of Rewards Dollars in your account at the time you placed a new order for $10 worth of eBooks, the $2.00 would come off your order first, leaving you with an $8.00 balance to pay. You would earn 15% in Rewards Dollars on the $8.00 balance.

If more than one promotion offers Rewards Dollars, then the promotion with the highest offer will be applied upon purchase.

How Do I Know How Many Rewards Dollars Are In My Account?

Your current Rewards Dollars balance is displayed both in your ACCOUNT area as well as at the top of the Shopping Cart checkout screen so you always know your balance.

Can Rewards Earnings Be Over 15%?

We may from time to time run specials where Rewards earnings exceed 15% either for all eBooks or some subset of eBooks (for example, a certain category or a certain author, or even a certain specific eBook). Stay tuned to our newsletters for special promotions.

If Some eBooks in My Cart Have Higher Rewards Percentages Than Others, How Are New Rewards Calculated?

If some eBooks in your cart have higher Rewards percentages than others, then your past Rewards Dollars are first applied to the eBooks in your cart that have the lowest Rewards percentages. This ensures you always receive the maximum possible Rewards Dollars on each transaction. In effect, we make sure the eBooks with the highest Rewards percentages are covered last by your past Rewards Dollars, ensuring they generate the highest possible new Rewards credit into your account.

EXAMPLE: You have $5.00 in Rewards Dollars earned from prior transactions. You now have two eBooks in your Cart, each one costs $5.00. eBook "A" has a special 50% Rewards percentage while eBook "B" has the normal 15% Rewards earnings.

In this example, we will apply your $5 Rewards credit entirely to eBook "B" which has the 15% Rewards earnings. You now pay the remaining $5.00, but we consider that entire payment to be for book "A" and so you earn 50%, or $2.50, in new Rewards dollars. Note that this is far more than if we had considered your $5.00 past Rewards to have been applied to eBook "B".

The system also correctly handles cases where a past Rewards credit covers some portion of an eBook's price such that you get a maximum credit from the purchase.

Do Rewards Dollars Expire?

It is necessary for accounting reasons for us to identify inactive accounts, so you need to log in to your eReader.com account at least once every two years to maintain your Rewards Dollars. Two years of total inactivity on your eReader.com account, meaning you have failed to even log in, will cause Rewards Dollars in that account to expire.

We also reserve the right to cancel eReader Rewards balances on any account that violates eReader.com's Terms of Service or where fraud or illegal activity is detected.
