2nd & Charles doesn’t have a teacher discount we could confirm right now. What you can get is cash back: TopCashback lists 8% back on 2nd & Charles purchases, which is a real saving on a stack of chapter books or a box of board games for indoor recess.
2nd & Charles is a chain of stores that buys and sells used media. It trades used books, audio books, CDs and DVDs, plus video games, game systems, vinyl records and accessories, and each store sets what it pays and charges based on an item’s condition and how popular it is. For a teacher building a classroom library on a budget, that mix of used books and trade-ins is the main draw.
How To Get The 2nd & Charles Teacher Discount
There isn’t a year-round teacher price we could confirm. Back in fall 2016, 2nd & Charles held an Educator Week where educators saved 25 percent on in-store purchases, and the chain called it a twice-a-year event. We couldn’t find an Educator Week announced since then, so don’t count on one this year.
If you shop in person, it’s still worth bringing your school ID and asking at the register whether your store has any educator pricing or an upcoming event. Plan your budget around the regular price, though.
Cash Back You Can Get
TopCashback lists 8% cash back at 2nd & Charles. Start from TopCashback, click through to 2nd & Charles, and shop online as normal. Two terms matter: begin with an empty shopping cart, and the cash back is figured on the item price only, not tax, shipping or other fees.
Cash back from a portal like this applies to online orders that start from the portal’s link. It won’t follow you into a store, so if you prefer to browse the shelves in person, the in-store ask above is the better bet.
Trade In Before You Buy
Because 2nd & Charles buys used books, games and media, the cheapest way to restock a classroom shelf may be to bring in what you no longer use. Novel sets your grade level moved away from, DVDs you’ve replaced with streaming, or old games from home can turn into credit or cash toward the books you actually need. What the store offers depends on condition and demand, so clean, complete items do best.
If you’re comparing bookstores, Books-A-Million runs its own Educator’s Card and Half Price Books has an educator discount, so check those before a big classroom order.
