Barnes & Noble’s Black Friday Gift Card Deal Is Already Live
Barnes & Noble’s annual holiday gift card deal is now available and it’s basically free money for anyone who already plans on buying gift cards this year. For every $100 in B&N gift cards you purchase, you’ll get an additional $10 gift card sent to your inbox. You can choose to gift that extra $10 to someone or keep it for yourself. It’s a great gift idea for the reader in your life who only really wants money for books, and it’s a deal I’m planning on taking advantage of myself ahead of Black Friday.
There are some limits on this promotion, but not many. Barnes & Noble only lets you earn up to $50 of extra gift cards per day, which means that spending $500 will earn you the maximum reward. The key detail here is that this limit is only for each customer per day, so you could come back the next day and earn more gift card rewards again if you wanted to. This offer is available from now until December 12, so there’s plenty of time to take advantage of it.
Barnes & Noble Gift Card Deal
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.
As for what deals to expect, we can look at what the store offered during Black Friday last year, as well as during its annual book haul sale back in August. The main event will likely be 50% off a bunch of books, which isn’t too surprising given the store’s status as one of the best places to buy books. We also expect that same 50% discount to be applied to select DVDs and Blu-rays as well as some toys and games. Barnes & Noble has been offering some pretty decent LEGO deals this year so far and it seems likely that trend will continue for 2025.
