The Best Way To Pay For College Textbooks & Supplies! #BNschoolsavings

This past weekend we went up to Binghamton, NY. My little guys wanted to see daddy’s college. We took a drive through the University of Binghamton where my husband graduated with his BachelorsĀ and Ā Masters. I couldn’t help but notice all the kids who were new to the college campusĀ transitioning into a new lifestyle. That transitionĀ is hard on parents too! We know just how hard with our older kids! Ā I imagine many parents are worried about Ā if their kids have everything they need and if they are okay.

After taking a peek around the campus we went to Barnes &Ā Noble. Predictably it was filledĀ with UOB students. Ā I recently learned that Barnes & Noble offers theĀ Barnes & Noble MasterCardĀ®. Ā This is the best credit card for parents and college students who are purchasing textbooks, books and school supplies during the busy back-to-school season and beyond. Ā Card holders earn 5% back when they use the card to purchase school supplies and textbooks at any Barnes & Noble store or at BN.com. Ā This offer even applies to campus Barnes & Noble bookstores.

GivenĀ the average price of books and supplies at public colleges last year was $1,225 and private colleges coming in at $1,244, that 5% back adds up fast! There is even an immediate savings of $60 available when you use yourĀ Barnes & Noble MasterCard for those purchases at campus Barnes & Noble bookstores or at BN.com. Cardholders receive a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card after their first purchase using the card. Every time cardholders reach 2500 points they receive a $25 gift card. The Barnes & Noble MasterCard has no annual fee.

If you are ready to take advantage of all the great perks being a Barnes & Noble MasterCard holder can bring you, just apply HERE.Ā You can also visit the same link for more information. To find your local Barnes & Noble store or to shop online visit BN.com.

We had a great time looking around at everything. After a stop at the in store Starbucks we set off to explore. The kids were amazed looking at all the great books, toys, games, kits and more! We saw coloring books for adults which were really cute.
