The Bucks Back program is PangoBooks’ built-in rewards system. Whenever you use your sales earnings to buy books, you automatically earn 2% bonus PangoBucks back into your account. Everyone with a PangoBooks account is eligible for Bucks Back!
To get started earning bucks back, ensure that your listings are up-to-date and ready to sell. When you make a sale, you can then use those earnings to purchase other books on the platform, which will earn you 2% bonus bucks back to your account!
How the program works
Earn PangoBucks by selling books on PangoBooks. Your earnings are released 72 hours after delivery. Learn more about selling here.
When you use those earnings to purchase from other sellers, you receive a 2% bonus in PangoBucks.
The 2% bonus applies only to the portion of the purchase covered by your earnings, not on bonus credit from previous Bucks Back rewards.
If a purchase is canceled or refunded before it ships, the 2% bonus earned from that transaction will be removed from your account.
How to use your PangoBucks
At checkout, select “Pay with PangoBucks” and "Bucks Back" to apply your bucks back to your order. When doing so, you’ll be able to see exactly how much of your purchase is being covered by your earnings and bonus bucks!
Important rules and limitations
Bonus PangoBucks expire after 365 days from when they’re awarded.
PangoBucks earned from selling (your original earnings) do not expire.
Bonus PangoBucks cannot be transferred to your bank account or PayPal, and can only be used toward future purchases.
As of February 26, 2025, the Bucks Back rate was adjusted to 2% (previously 5%). Bucks Back already earned at 5% remain yours.
Other questions about the Bucks Back program
How long does it take for my bonus bucks to get added to my account?
Your 2% PangoBucks bonus will be added to your account whenever you complete a purchase using your earnings.
Do bonus PangoBucks generate additional rewards?
No. The only funds that earn the 2% back bonus are funds you earn from your Pango sales. The bonus bucks themselves do not receive an additional rebate.
For example, if you make a purchase using $20 in your PangoBucks earnings and $5 in bonus credit from a previous purchase, your new bonus reward will be $0.40 (2% of $20).
What happens if the order is canceled or refunded?
If you use any PangoBooks earnings on a purchase that gets canceled and refunded before it ships, the 2% bonus bucks will be removed from your account. You will be able to use the earnings you spent on the purchase to buy something else (and earn the 2% bonus again, of course!).
Do my bucks back ever expire?
Yes. All of our promotional offers and bonus bucks back have an expiration date. The 2% bonus bucks expire 365 days after they are added to your account. PangoBucks you earn from selling books never expire.
Where can I find out how much PangoBucks credit I have on my account?
You can see your total earnings and PangoBucks bonus credit at any time on our app under “My Earnings.”
Can I add PangoBucks to my account without selling?
No. PangoBucks can only be earned by selling books on PangoBooks or through promotional offers. There is currently no way to buy additional PangoBucks.
