Thanks to our friends at BookRenter, everyone in our community — customer or not — can save a ton of money on college textbooks this semester.

Together, we’re offering 7% OFF the already ridiculously low prices BookRenter charges for renting textbooks instead of buying them. How much do their customers save? According to our friends at BookRenter, up to 80%! That can add up to more than $500 per year.

With our special deal, parents or students can save up to 87%.

Of course if you use a PerkStreet Financial Platinum Debit MasterCard® to pay for your rental at BookRenter you could earn up to 2% back in perks — the same great cash back rewards we always offer — an even sweeter deal!

What is BookRenter?

During the holidays, most people spend more money than usual. Saving up to buy books immediately after is impossible for most students. It’s equally difficult for parents, already spending as much money as they can squeeze out on tuition.

Textbooks are too expensive. The price of college is already ridiculous.

The idea that the information you need for a class should come with hundreds of dollars in additional cost is ridiculous. And that whole deal where you can “sell back” your books to the campus bookstore for pennies after paying hundreds of dollars for them? Absurd!

BookRenter is solving this problem through a simple rental agreement and the postal service.
