Official Bonus Bucks Contest Rules

Eligibility:  The “Bonus Bucks” contest is open to legal residents of the United States 18 and over with the following exceptions:
Residents of Rhode Island are not eligible to participate. Individuals who submit more than $2000.00 worth of buyback quotes over the course of 3 months (regardless of whether the individuals send the books to JitterBook or not) are ineligible to play Bonus Bucks. Employees of JitterBook, affiliates, subsidiaries, resellers, advertising and promotional agencies and their immediate families are not eligible to play the contest. JitterBook has the right to decline eligibility to an individual for any reason if we find that they are abusing the rules and intent of Bonus Bucks. All federal, state, local or other jurisdictional laws and regulations apply. Offer void where prohibited or otherwise restricted by law.

By checking that you agree to the terms and conditions upon submitting a quote, which contains the official Bonus Bucks rules, user acknowledges that they are eligible to play the Bonus Bucks Contest.

No purchase is necessary to enter the contest; any one meeting the eligibility requirements may create a quote. However, JitterBook must receive book buybacks for an individual to be eligible to win.

How to enter: 

Create a quote on JitterBook.com.  Creating a quote requires having a textbook(s) that JitterBook is willing to purchase, creating an account with JitterBook and agreeing to the terms and conditions and official contest rules set forth by JitterBook. Use the free shipping label to return the book(s) to JitterBook.  Meeting the above eligibility requirements, creating a quote and agreeing to the JitterBook terms is all that is needed to enter the contest, however, the winner is determined as outlined below.

How the winner is chosen:

After a customer creates a quote, they send the textbooks to JitterBook and are received into the JitterBook warehouse. The books are checked to ensure that they meet all acceptance criteria set forth under the JitterBook Terms and Conditions. Based on the acceptance criteria, the original quote is validated and a final price paid for the book is determined. ONLY THE VALIDATED AMOUNT MATTERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CONTEST. JITTERBOOK DETERMINES THE FINAL VALUE OF THE BOOKS YOU SEND. ALL DECISIONS ARE SOLELY AT OUR DISCRETION AND ARE FINAL. 

On a daily basis, JitterBook tallies the highest buybacks of all quotes marked as “Payment Sent” for that day that meet the eligibility requirements set forth in these rules. Highest buyback is defined as a single quote that has the highest dollar amount under $2000.00 paid for all books in that quote that has been marked “Payment Sent” on a given day. Quotes in any other state including Waiting for Books, Cancelled, Received, and Expired are not eligible to win but may become eligible if they are moved to the Payment Sent state.

If there are new quotes marked as Payment Sent that day, the person with the highest buyback quote in the Payment Sent state is chosen to be the eligible winner. The eligible winner’s first name, last initial and quote number will be listed THE NEXT DAY on the JitterBook web site’s main landing page.

Each day that there are no new quotes marked as Payment Sent, JitterBook will continue to choose the winner from the last valid highest buybacks, moving consecutively down the list (second highest buyback, then third, then fourth) and posting the eligible winner the following day. The most recent highest buyback marked as Payment Sent will supersede any older highest buyback in the same state, regardless of amount.

In the case of a tie (two quotes on any one day marked as Payment Sent having the exact same dollar amount and being equally the highest buyback price), the quote with the lowest quote number is determined the first highest buyback and the other tied quote is determined to be the second highest buyback.

Posting of eligible winner:

Each day, the eligible winner’s first name, last initial and the winning quote number is posted on the JitterBook main landing page starting just after 12:34am PST and ending at 12:34am PST the following day. ACTUAL AND OFFICIAL TIMING OF THE ELIGIBLE WINNER'S NAME IS DETERMINED BY OUR DATABASE SERVER TIME. There is no other communication to the individual that they are eligible to win. JitterBook is not responsible or liable for eligible winners who fail to come to the site and claim their prize. Prize is only awarded if eligible winner follows the below steps to collect the prize. Prizes not claimed within the posted time will not be awarded.

Collecting the Prize:

If an individual sees their name on the JitterBook main landing page and feels that he or she may be a winner, they must perform the following steps to claim their prize:
1. INDIVIDUAL MUST LOG INTO THEIR ACCOUNT.
2. INDIVIDUAL MUST SEE THESE EXACT WORDS ON THEIR ACCOUNT PAGE: “I WON! PLEASE SEND ME…”
3. IF THIS IS DISPLAYED ON THE USER’S ACCOUNT PAGE, USER MUST CHECK THE “SEND MY MONEY” BUTTON.

Eligible winners MUST follow the above steps to claim any prize money.

The Prize:

JitterBook will give one person per day the eligibility to claim a prize worth a value of at least $50.00 USD. If an eligible winner does not claim their prize, unclaimed prizes will not be awarded and the amount unclaimed is added to the following day’s potential winnings for the duration of any calendar month. Contest is reset at the first of each month regardless of unclaimed prize money. Total value a person is eligible to win is ultimately determined by the number of preceding unclaimed prizes, but cannot exceed more than $50 multiplied by the number of days in a given month minus days left in said month. Any unclaimed prize money at the end of the month is forfeited and is not carried over to the next month.
