How to Get Free Books Using Fetch

By Chris Pagnani

July 23, 2024

The joy of reading a book you just can’t put down is hard to match. Whether you love fantasy or nonfiction, romance or a good “Whodunit,” books have the awesome ability to transport you to another time, place, or world. Still, books are unfortunately less of a need-to-have and more a want-to-have, so you might not feel comfortable spending all the money you’d like on books when things like groceries and bills rightfully take priority.

But fear not, bibliophiles! With Fetch, you can fund your book-buying habit simply by making the purchases you’re already making each week and use the rewards you earn to get free books. Download our free rewards app, and find out how you can turn your shopping receipts into free books.

When is National Book Lovers Day?

Did you know that there is even a holiday dedicated to our book-loving community? It’s true: National Book Lovers Day is celebrated annually on August 9th. Whether you love paperbacks, hardcovers, or Kindles, there’s no better way to honor the spirit of National Book Lovers Day than by getting lost in a good book.
