Is the Books on Board sale simply a half price sale the same as smith's?
Or buy one get one free?
I guess my initial reaction was that you could go on forever.

'Tis over now, but was a 100% rebate sale. And yes, you could go on forever. I think I got about $400 in books (list prices, of course) for about a $40 total outlay (and still had $40 credit) in the last year, recycling the same credit over and over. I did buy one or two after they stopped doing the weekly sales and was down to about $20 in credit when this sale started. Due to the short term sale and everyone being out of town, you could only use existing credit or real money to buy on the sale, but everything you spent ended up back in your account this week, to use again.
Think of it as buying gift certificates that have as a bonus a bunch of ebooks. At FW, you can use those gc's to buy books at full price or with lower rewards credits. At BoB, you can use them on any book, even one with 100% rewards back (making those truly 100% free once you have enough credits in your "bank").
