About Barnes and Noble

In 1971 a single bookstore in Manhattan became the seed of something larger when Leonard Riggio revived the Barnes & Noble name. That seed grew into a network of stores and a rich online shop built for readers and communities.

The brand pairs scale with service: one million-plus titles ready to order, NOOK for digital reading, “See Inside” page previews, and a lively Marketplace. Redesigned stores add food, seating, and events so browsing becomes an experience you can linger in.

How to Use a Barnes and Noble Coupon Code

  • Open Barnes & Noble website and find the book (or item) you want.
  • Click Add to Cart, then click the cart icon at the top-right — a small side window will slide in showing your cart.
  • Scroll down inside that side window. You’ll see a field labeled “Add Coupon Code”.
  • Type or paste your code into that field and click Apply. Make sure the discount appears in the order summary.
  • When the discount shows, click Continue to Checkout and finish placing your order.

What to Do if Your Barnes and Noble Coupon Code Isn’t Working

  • Check for tiny mistakes — Look for extra spaces, wrong letters, or wrong capitalization.
  • Make sure the code is still valid — Confirm the promo hasn’t expired and that it hasn’t already been used.
  • Review the terms and conditions like a minimum spend, excluded items or categories, or other limits.
  • Try simple fixes — Refresh the page, clear your browser cache/cookies, or open the site in an incognito/private window.

If you’ve tried all of the above and the code still won’t work, reach out to Barnes & Noble customer support for help.

Barnes and Noble Membership and Rewards

Barnes & Noble Membership Cards

Barnes & Noble offers two simple membership options. The free B&N Rewards program lets you earn 1 stamp for every $10 you spend. Collect 10 stamps and you’ll get a $5 reward. Stamps appear right at checkout in stores, and for online orders they show up once your items ship. Rewards stay active as long as your account is open.

For $39.99 a year, the Premium Membership takes it further. You’ll still enjoy Rewards, plus 10% off most purchases, free standard shipping in the U.S., an annual tote, and a free eBook each month with a coupon. Premium also includes NOOK discounts, café and birthday treats, and early access to special editions and events. It’s an easy way to save more while enjoying extra perks.
