Chapters and Indigo Books are now allowing readers all over Canada to use their Plum rewards points online and within the companies Android and iOS app. What more, is that you can now earn points by buying books online, something you never used to be able to do.

2500 points = $5
4500 points = $10
8500 points = $20
20000 points = $50
35000 points = $100
