You can choose to purchase physical or digital gift cards and still get the $10 promotional credit. For physical gift cards, there are a ton of different styles available, from Christmas to birthday party themes. You can choose to load each gift card with anywhere between $10 and $500, but you'll only get the additional $10 for every $100 you spend in a single cart purchase. So you could potentially buy 10 of the $10 gift cards and still earn the promotional credit as long as you do it all at once.
Barnes & Noble gift cards can be used at any brick-and-mortar location or the online store. You can also actually use these gift cards at any Paper Source location since B&N acquired the company back in 2021.
When Does the Barnes & Noble Black Friday Sale Start?
Barnes & Noble has not yet announced the start date for its Black Friday sale, but we do have an idea of when you should expect those book deals to drop this year. Other major retailers have already announced Black Friday sale dates beginning around Thursday, November 20 this year and Barnes & Noble will likely do something similar. Last year, the bookseller's sale launched on the Friday before Thanksgiving both online and in stores.
