Caboodle is the rewards programme from National Book Tokens, run by book-loving members of the team.

Join Caboodle and you'll automatically be entered into our prize draw every month to win a £100/€120 National Book Token. We love to talk about books and bookshops, so our emails to you are packed with exclusive competitions, book recommendations, literary quizzes, exciting author features, and offers and events from your local bookshop. You'll even get to read the next big thing before it's on the shelves with our Caboodle Firsts giveaways.

When you interact with Caboodle, you'll collect Caboodle Points. The more Caboodle Points you have, the more stuff you'll see in your Caboodle emails: extra competitions, voucher codes, exclusive author features, cover reveals, early previews, and other surprises... Plus, once you hit 650 Caboodle points, we'll send you a free book of your choice from our friends at Bloomsbury.

You can read more about Caboodle on our How Caboodle Works page, and in our Terms and Conditions and FAQs.

We send two types of emails:

Competitions, updates and exclusive giveaways – news of our latest competitions, Caboodle Firsts giveaways, book recommendations, author features, literary quizzes, how to buy and spend National Book Tokens, National Book Tokens voucher codes, Caboodle Benefits, and much more. If you’ve completed your profile to tell us about the types of books you’re interested in (e.g. children’s or literary fiction), this will help us know more about what you’d like to see.

Local offers from bookshops near you – these emails send your local bookshop’s offers and events straight to your inbox. These offers are sent shortly after a bookshop adds them to our website, so their frequency will depend entirely on your location. If you’re in a busy urban location, you may receive up to 2-3 emails per week. The fewer bookshops near you, and the fewer offers and events they add, the fewer emails you’ll receive.

If you’d prefer just to receive one type of email, simply visit your preferences, or log in to your account and go to ‘My Profile’.

It's really easy! Simply click on 'Log in' (in the top right hand corner of the website), click 'Forgotten password', and then follow the link the email we've sent you to create a password.

Some Caboodle Points are permanent and can only be collected once (e.g. for signing up, creating a password, competing your profile, and registering a National Book Tokens gift card), and some Caboodle Points can be collected multiple times (e.g. for entering competitions, completing surveys) and expire after a certain amount of time.

You can view your Caboodle Points under ‘My Caboodle’, including what they were collected for and when, and their expiry dates. The reason some Caboodle Points expire is that they tell us how frequently you’re using Caboodle. Don’t worry if you see your Caboodle Points total going down, if you continue to interact with Caboodle, you’ll continue to receive Caboodle Rewards and Benefits (you can find out more about these on our How Caboodle Works page).
