The previous Membership has been replaced with two options, Premium Membership and Rewards Membership.

Premium Membership, at an annual fee of $39.99 a year, provides a 10% Everyday Membership Discount on eligible purchases made at Barnes & Noble and Paper Source stores AND online at BN.com, free standard shipping, free drink size upgrades at B&N Cafés, a free tote bag each Membership year, exclusive offers and more. Premium Membership also includes all the benefits of Rewards Membership.

With Rewards Membership, which is included with Premium Membership or is available separately for free, you earn 1 stamp for every $10 spent on eligible items in a single transaction in stores or online. Every 10 stamps earned are converted to a $5 reward that can be used in Barnes & Noble and Paper Source stores and online at BN.com.

You can upgrade your existing Membership to Premium Membership or add Rewards Membership to your Membership at any time by clicking the Join Premium or Join Rewards button above or by asking a bookseller at your local Barnes & Noble or Paper Source store.

To ensure that your existing Membership is upgraded, and you receive all the benefits you are entitled to, make sure that you use the BN.com account to which your Membership is linked when upgrading online, or provide your existing Membership information to the Bookseller or Associate in a Barnes & Noble or Paper Source store.

For every $10 spent in a single transaction on eligible items, 1 stamp is earned and issued to your Premium Membership or Rewards Membership account.

Once 10 stamps have been earned, they are converted to a $5 reward that is issued to your Membership account by the end of the next day.

There is no limit for earning stamps and rewards. If your purchase qualifies for stamps, those stamps will be issued and will be converted into a reward once 10 stamps have been collected.

Rewards do not expire unless you cancel your account. Stamps do not expire unless your account is inactive for 12 consecutive months, or you cancel your account.

For purchases in Barnes & Noble and Paper Source stores, stamps are issued to your account at the time of purchase.

For purchases on BN.com, stamps are issued no later than one day after items ship. If the order is fulfilled in multiple shipments, stamps will be issued over the course of those shipments as the running total of shipped items in the order reaches each $10 threshold.

Example: In a $30 order that ships over two days, 2 stamps are issued when the $20 item ships. Another stamp is issued when the $10 item ships the next day.

Once 10 stamps have been earned, they are converted to a $5 reward that is issued to your Membership account by the end of the next day.
