How does it work?

When you sign up to start building your own entourage, you are given a unique Entourage code. This code is good for 5% off purchases of new and used textbooks, textbook rentals, DVDs and college apparel, making it the most comprehensive textbook ambassador program in the country. The code can also be used to get an additional $5 on buy back orders. You and your entourage will receive these benefits every time the code is used. Here’s the good part - the ambassador will receive $5 straight cash on orders placed using his/her code.

Can I buy a clearance book for a nickel and still get $5?

There are a few cart minimums that must be met to receive the $5 bonus commission. Your code will always be good for 5% off of all purchases at eCampus.com. The only exception is a purchase through the Marketplace as this is a peer-to-peer selling network and not an actual eCampus.com sale.

To receive the $5 commission, users of your code must include a book rental in his/her cart and the cart value must carry a minimum value of $25.

To receive the $5 bonus when selling books back to eCampus.com, the minimum value of the books being sold back must be at least $15.

Can I receive college internship credit as an eCampus.com ambassador?

In most cases, yes. eCampus.com Entourage is designed as an immersive marketing ambassador program with tasks and objectives to complete over the course of a semester. You will have the chance to tell potential employers that you worked alongside the marketing department of an Inc 250 company in a role that allowed you to facilitate penetration into new markets while creating campaigns designed to enhance market share.

How do I get my code out to the masses?

We’ll give you the tools to spread your code to everyone you know through our handy toolkit, you can email, blog, text, Twitter, post to Facebook or create videos to spread via YouTube. You are limited only by your own creativity. Tattoo it on the back of your neck, break out the sidewalk chalk in the middle of campus, anything and everything is worth trying and we encourage new and game breaking ideas from the entire Entourage. And of course, Gilley will always be available at gilley@ecampus.com for you to bounce your ideas off of.

When do I get paid?

Payments will be made once a month for all eligible sales received during the month prior. Orders that get cancelled before delivery are not eligible for payment. Your money will be deposited directly into your bank account each month. No waiting for weeks and weeks for payment.

Rental program: $5 / book rental order with your code (minimum cart value of $25), less orders returned within 30 days
Buy-back program: $5 / order processed with your code (minimum cart value of $15), less orders not received within 30 days

Checks will include all of the money earned during a one month period, less any orders that have been cancelled over the 30 days following that month.  For example, if someone rents a book in January then you get paid in early March.
