Textbooks can run your college student hundreds of dollars each semester, so why do it?
I don’t know about you, but I still have textbooks from college piled up in the back of my closet simply because I REFUSE to throw them out when I consider how MUCH MONEY I spent on them! But…I NEVER use them.
Sometimes more than $100 per textbook and then another $50 to get that handy little workbook to help me study. IT ADDS UP! Add that to the pretty price tag of tuition these days and the numbers are enough to make you pass out.
Luckily Amazon is offering a solution that will help your studious child looking to better his/her future do just that while keeping a little jingle in your pocket (or theirs)! That money could be used for so many other things like gas, food, or even an early payment on that pretty tuition balance!
Oh, and don’t forget to consider professors don’t update course plans every single year so much that new textbooks are required! Often college professors understand how pricey new textbooks can be and they utilize as much information from previous textbooks as they can!
So, let me ask you this…if the information is about the SAME, the professor says it’s OKAY, and the material will still help your child succeed…why would you pay MORE?
I know that later in my college years I turned to used textbooks and saved HUNDREDS!

Can I use my Amazon gift cards or promotional balance to pay for my textbook rental?
If you already have a credit balance on your account from Amazon.com Gift Cards or eligible promotional codes, we will always apply the full value of such credits before charging the remaining balance to your credit card. However, even if you have sufficient credit to pay for the initial rental fee when you rent textbooks, you must still have a valid credit card on file, that expires no earlier than 45 days after your due date, to complete the order to cover any additional fees incurred. Currently, gift cards and promotional balances cannot be used to extend or purchase your textbook rental.
