Q.
How are points calculated during promotions?
Granted points are calculated based on the purchase amount (excluding tax) times the point-back rate which is set according to each promotion
Here are some examples when purchasing multiple eBooks eligible for multiple point-back promotions, and your membership rank is “Explorer” (point-back rate: 5%).
If eBooks A, B, C, D are all not eligible for a promotion
⇒ (eBook A + eBook B + eBook C + eBook D) x 5% (membership ranking)
If the eligible point-back promotion differs according to each eBook
- eBooks A + C: Eligible for promotion X (30% point-back/store-wide promotion), as well as promotion Y (20% point-back/individual promotion)
- eBook B: Not eligible for any promotions (will only get point-backs based on membership rank)
- eBook D: Eligible for promotion Z (10% point-back/individual promotion)
⇒ (eBook A + eBook C) x (30 + 20)% + eBook B x 5% + eBook D x (5 + 10)%
*For promotion Y (20% point-back/individual promotion), you will not receive point-back based on your membership rank as the eligible eBook is also eligible for promotion X (30% point-back/store-wide promotion), which does not give point-backs for membership rank.
If the eligible point-back promotion differs according to each eBook, and is also target of the “50% Point Back for First-time Purchasers” promotion
- eBooks A + C: Eligible for promotion X (30% point-back/store-wide promotion), as well as promotion Y (20% reduction/individual promotion)
- eBook B: Not eligible for promotion (will only get point-backs based on membership rank)
- eBook D: Eligible for promotion Z (10% point-back/individual promotion)
⇒ (eBook A + eBook C) × (30 + 20 + 50)% + eBook B × (5 + 50)% + eBook D × (5 + 10 + 50)%
*For promotion Y (20% point-back/individual promotion), you will not receive point-back based on your membership rank as the eligible eBook is also eligible for promotion X (30% point-back/store-wide promotion), which does not give point-backs for membership rank.
Notes
- Please note that promotion points will not be granted in case of coupon usage.
- If the point calculation includes decimals (less than 1 point), it will be rounded down.
- If the amount of granted points exceeds the purchase amount excluding tax (granted more than 100%), it will be adjusted so that it would be less than 100%.
- Points expire at the end of 5 months from the eBook’s purchase date, but points granted through the “50% Point Back for First-time Purchasers” promotion expires at the end of the following month after your initial purchase.
Please check each promotion page for the point expiration date for other promotion , as it may differ based on each promotion. - Please refer to the BOOK☆WALKER Point page for further details about points.
