What titles are eligible for points?
The majority of Penguin Random House titles are eligible for points. To ensure a title is eligible before you purchase it, check the penguinrandomhouse.com book detail page. Any book that includes the “Earn Points on This Purchase!” flag on the book detail page is eligible. If you can’t find the book on penguinrandomhouse.com, that means it is not published by us and is therefore not eligible to earn points.
As a quick reference, any book featured on your personalized dashboard is eligible for points.
If a title is not eligible for points, there will be a note on the book detail page that reads “This format is not eligible to earn points towards the Reader Rewards program” or “This title is not eligible to earn points for the Reader Rewards program.”
How many points will I earn per book I buy?
Each purchase you upload is worth 10 Program points. PLEASE NOTE: you can only earn a maximum of 10 points per single ISBN (i.e., per title). You may not earn additional points by purchasing multiple copies of the same title.
Can I purchase my book at any retailer?
We will accept a valid proof of purchase from any retailer who sells firsthand books.* This retailer must be located within the 50 US states or the District of Columbia. Your proof of purchase must include: the date of purchase, retailer name, and a book title or ISBN.
*Second hand books, discounted books, and remaindered books are not eligible for point redemption.
How do I submit my proof of purchase?
Make sure you keep your receipt! Then log in to your dashboard, click the “Enter Books” button at the top of the screen. Here you can simply upload a picture of your book’s ISBN along with a picture of your receipt.
In the case of audiobooks or ebooks (or if you can’t upload an image), you may manually enter your ISBN in Step 2: Enter Books.
If you’re having trouble locating any of these items, please look through the questions below or feel free to contact

Can I upload more than one receipt image at a time?
No. Currently, receipt upload is limited to one single image.
If your receipt is long, please try to take a single picture that captures store name, store number, receipt ID, date of purchase, book title and ISBN, if available.
If you have made multiple purchases at multiple stores, please upload each store receipt and the associated purchased books separately.
Where do I find the ISBN for a print book, ebook, or audiobook?
