Windows Phone Thoughts: eReader.com Rewards Program

"The eReader Rewards system allows you to earn 15% or more on every purchase you make at eReader.com. To earn eReader Rewards all you have to do is sign up for our newsletter. Rewards Dollars are automatically earned on every purchase, and are automatically applied to future orders at eReader.com. Rewards Dollars earned on prior orders may cancel out part or even all of the purchase price of the new order."



For years, eReader.com has given discounts, usually 10% off, to the newsletter subscribers, which is nice, but has always been a bit of a pain to find the most recent newsletter in your inbox and find the code. This was especially troublesome if you were buying from your device and the email was no longer on there. They have now done away with the coupon code requirement and are just crediting your account with 15% of the purchase price, good on your next purchase. That will make things easier, and also encourages repeat business. I am curious though if the 15% is calculated on the base price or the price after application of the discount. Say you have a $1.00 credit in your account from a previous purchase and you buy a $10.00 ebook. You'll pay $9.00, right? So, will your next credit be $1.50 ($10 X 15%) or $1.35 ($9 X 15%)?

To be eligible for the rewards, you just need to head over to their site and subscribe to the newsletter. They have eReader software for all Windows Mobile devces running a 2002 version of the OS or later, as well as your Windows and Mac desktop, as well as a few other mobile platforms.
