Rewards!

THE EC REWARDS PROGRAM!

What is it?
The EC Rewards Program tracks your in-store purchases by category and rewards frequent shoppers with a discount based on what they spend.

What qualifies for Rewards?

Back Issue Comics (Non-Vintage)
Comics located in the long boxes in the center of the store.
Vintage comics – including Golden Age, Silver Age, and key issues found on the Vintage Wall – are not included.

Graphic Novels
All new books, graphic novels, and trade paperbacks.
Used books are excluded since they are already discounted (typically around 50% off cover price).

Comic Book & Card Supplies
Includes bags, boards, boxes, sleeves, toploaders, storage solutions, and related accessories for comics and trading/gaming cards.

How it works

Earn a reward by purchasing 10 items in a category within a 3-month period.
Once completed, you receive a discount on your next item in that category equal to your average purchase price.

Example:
Buy 5 graphic novels at $14.99 and 5 at $12.99
Your reward = $13.99 off your next graphic novel (the average price)

Expiration and timing

You have 3 months to complete each category from your first qualifying purchase.
If the requirement is not met within that time, progress resets.

Once earned, your reward credit is valid for 3 months.

How Rewards interact with sales

You always receive the best available discount.

If an item is on sale, you receive the sale price instead of applying or earning Rewards credit. This ensures you get the greater savings.

Example:
A $20 item at 20% off saves you $4 immediately.
That is better than the approximate $2 value that purchase would contribute toward a future reward.

How to maximize your rewards

To get the most value:

  • Use reward credits on items close to the value of your credit
  • Avoid using credits on significantly higher-priced items
  • Let larger purchases count toward earning your next reward instead of discounting them

Example:
Using a $10 reward on a $12 item = efficient use
Using a $10 reward on a $50 item = $40 that does not help your next reward
