• What books are eligible for points?

The majority of The Empire Publishers books are eligible for points. To ensure a book is eligible before you purchase it, check the [email protected] book detail page and confirm the ISBN purchased is eligible. Any ISBN that includes the “Earn Points on This Purchase!” flag on the book detail page for the format is eligible. Please note, all formats may not be eligible for a book so it is important to check the ISBN.

If you can’t find the book on [email protected] , that means it is not published by us and is therefore not eligible to earn points.

If a book is not eligible for points, there will be a note on the book detail page that reads “This format is not eligible to earn points towards the Reader Rewards program” or “This title is not eligible to earn points for the Reader Rewards program.”

• How many points will I earn per book I buy?

Each purchase you upload is worth 10 Program points. PLEASE NOTE: you can only earn a maximum of 10 points per single ISBN (i.e., per book). You may not earn additional points by purchasing multiple copies of the same book.

• Can I purchase my book at any retailer?

We will accept a valid proof of purchase from any retailer who sells firsthand books.* This retailer must be located within the 50 US states or the District of Columbia. Your proof of purchase must include: the date of purchase, retailer name, price paid, and a book title or ISBN.

*Second hand books, discounted books, and remaindered books are not eligible for point redemption. Books purchased as part of a book club are not eligible.

• How do I submit my proof of purchase?

Make sure you keep your receipt! Then log in to your dashboard, click the “Enter Books” button at the top of the screen. Here you can simply upload a picture of your book’s ISBN along with a picture of your receipt.

If you have made multiple purchases at multiple stores, please upload each store receipt and the associated purchased books separately.
