We love to reward our customers with free books.
The Avenue Bookstore Card (sometimes referred to as the Frequent Buyer Program) offers a 10% rebate on all purchases—including books, stationery, magazines, cards, special orders, sale items and gifts.
The program is simple. We tally the amount you spend, and each time your total reaches more than $250, we send you a voucher for 10% of your purchases. There’s no time limit to get to that amount. The vouchers you earn do not have an expiry date.
The Avenue Bookstore Card also helps us easily and effectively place your special orders, contact you about our exciting events and sales, and send you information on your next favourite reads.
