Skyo Offers Students "Extra Credit" and More Savings
New Website Features Make it Easy for Students to Save on Textbooks
OAK BROOK, Ill., Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Extra credit can be a lifesaver in the classroom, and now Skyo.com is taking it to textbooks. The online retailer announced today it would offer even more ways to make buying textbooks fast, easy and cheap through its Extra Credit program and other new features.

Skyo's Extra Credit is a simple equation; when students buy more books, they save more. Students who rent or purchase two books automatically save an extra 5% off the total price of their order. Students looking for even more bonus points can buy or rent 4 or more textbooks to get 10% off. And, no coupon codes are required - the Extra Credit savings are automatically applied.
"When you get all of your books on Skyo, we give you extra credit in the form of savings," said Noel Burkman, Director of eCommerce for Skyo.com. "In the classroom, extra credit can bring a "C" to an "A", and on Skyo, it makes it even easier to save."
Students shopping on Skyo will also have access to:
-- Expanded Course Search: Students at more than 1,000 schools can now shop
for all of their books with one easy click. Instead of shopping for
required materials one at a time, students simply input their course
schedule into Skyo's course search and their book list and shopping cart
are automatically populated. Students can review all of their required
materials in one place, and select from new, used, rental and digital
options.
-- More titles: Skyo is adding more textbook titles to its inventory this
month, giving students even more ways to save. Digital titles will
nearly double, giving students access to the largest selection of new,
used, rental and digital textbooks available online.
-- Flexible options: Other online textbook retailers require full semester
rentals and restrict highlighting and note-taking. But Skyo is built for
the way students want to purchase their textbooks, with a variety of
options like flexible textbook rental periods to make it easy for
students to extend their rentals.
Any student at any school can use Skyo for cheap textbook options; students simply visit Skyo's website, provide their school information, search for their books and purchase. Skyo provides an easy, secure shopping experience and offers a 100 percent customer satisfaction guarantee.
