  • Special promotional offers.
  • The opportunity to earn Barnes & Noble Kids' Club™ Rewards Certificates via loyalty rewards credit.

3. LOYALTY REWARDS.

  • For every $100 spent on Qualifying Products at Barnes & Noble stores or BN.com, Active Participants will earn a B&N Kids' Club™ Rewards Certificate ("Rewards Certificate").
  • Qualifying Products only include (i) Children's Books located within the "Barnes & Noble Junior" section of all Barnes & Noble retail stores or navigable from the Kids section of BN.com (excluding all teen books navigable from the Kids or Teens sections; all children's books marked as "Bargain-Priced" at Barnes & Noble retail stores; all children's books listed as "Bargain" books on BN.com; and all eBooks, including without limitation children's and teen eBooks), (ii) Toys, (iii) Children's Games, (iv) Children's Puzzles, and (v) Children's Workbooks ("Qualifying Products"). Qualifying Products will be flagged as "Kids' Club Eligible" on the product detail page at BN.com.
  • The purchase of Qualifying Products by Active Participants accrues towards the $100 spending threshold as loyalty rewards credit ("Loyalty Rewards Credit").
  • Accrual of Loyalty Rewards Credit will be applied before taxes and after all eligible discounts and deductions, including coupons, are applied. Coupon discounts are applied after any other discounts in the purchase.
  • Participants can earn a maximum of four (4) Rewards Certificates in a one (1)-year period ("Rewards Term"). Active Participants will earn one (1) Rewards Certificate for each $100 Loyalty Reward Credit threshold that is met within a Reward Term.
  • A Participant's initial Rewards Term will begin on the date of enrollment in the Program and continue until one year from the date of enrollment. Subsequent Rewards Term(s) shall commence on the day after the previous rewards term ends.
  • At the end of each Rewards Term, the amount of Loyalty Rewards Credit accrued and the number of Rewards Certificates earned will each reset to a zero balance.
  • In order to count towards Loyalty Rewards Credit accrual, Qualifying Products must be purchased by Active Participants in the Barnes & Noble Kids' Club™.
  • Loyalty Rewards Credit will be tracked in Barnes & Noble stores by presenting a Barnes & Noble Kids' Club™ loyalty card at the register. If you are a B&N Member, please see "Important Information for Barnes & Noble Members" below.
  • Participants must ensure that their Barnes & Noble Kids' Club™ Account is registered at BN.com in order to receive Loyalty Rewards Credit for purchases of Qualifying Products made online at BN.com. Participants who signed up for the Program in Barnes & Noble stores can register their Barnes & Noble Kids' Club™ Account at BN.COM/kidsclub. Participants who joined the Program online are automatically registered. If you are a B&N Member, please see "Important Information for Barnes & Noble Members" below.
  • Active Participants who are making purchases of Qualifying Products at BN.com must checkout as a returning customer with a BN.com account in order for such purchases to be tracked for Loyalty Rewards Credit. The purchase of Qualifying Products will not be tracked for Loyalty Rewards Credit if the Guest checkout option is used.
  • Loyalty Rewards Credit will not be applied for online orders until after Qualifying Products have been shipped.
  • Loyalty Rewards Credit for past purchases made in Barnes & Noble stores or online at BN.com will not be applied retroactively to Accounts under any circumstances.
  • A Rewards Certificate will be valued at $5 each. If earned, a Rewards Certificate will be e-mailed to a Participant on the 7th of the subsequent calendar month. Any unused dollar value remaining on a Rewards Certificate will be forfeited once its expiration date has been reached.
  • A Rewards Certificate can only be redeemed towards the purchase of Qualifying Products. The complete terms of use for a Rewards Certificate will be included within the accompanying e-mail distribution.
  • A Participant will be sent only one Rewards Certificate per calendar month provided that the Participant has accumulated the sufficient Loyalty Rewards Credit, except in the case where Rewards Certificates earned would otherwise be reset to zero at the end of a Rewards Term.
    • If a Participant earns more than one Rewards Certificate within a calendar month, the first Rewards Certificate will be e-mailed on the 7th of the following month; the remaining Rewards Certificates will be e-mailed individually month-by-month until all earned Rewards Certificates have been distributed.
    • If the end of a Rewards Term is reached before all earned Rewards Certificates have been distributed to a Participant, all outstanding Rewards Certificates will be e-mailed individually on the 7th of the calendar month that succeeds the end of the Rewards Term.
  • If a Participant returns a Qualifying Product that had previously counted towards their $100 Loyalty Rewards Credit threshold, the return amount will be subtracted from their future accrual. The return of items purchased in a prior Rewards Term will be subtracted from the current Rewards Term's threshold calculation. Negative balances may result.
  • Any Rewards Certificates earned prior to becoming inactive in the Barnes & Noble Kids' Club™ will be distributed on the 7th of the calendar month that succeeds the date of becoming inactive and will remain valid through the expiration date communicated in the e-mail.

Important Information for Barnes & Noble Members:
