The latest enhancements to ReadingRewards are a reflection of ThriftBooks’ ongoing commitment to an industry-leading customer experience, frequently recognized by prestigious awards. For the sixth consecutive year, ThriftBooks has been recognized as part of Newsweek’s 2025 annual list of Best Online Shops. This coveted award is presented by Newsweek and the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, Statista, Inc. The awards list was announced today and can currently be viewed on the Newsweek website.
The online shops listed in Best Online Shops 2025 were selected based on extensive research efforts that began with a thorough screening process. Newsweek and Statista performed detailed testing of each online shop and conducted a nationwide survey of over 8,000 American online shoppers. Survey participants were asked to evaluate online shops in the following categories: Trust & Security, Structure & Usability, Payment, Purchase & Delivery, Service & Communication, Technical Performance, and Likelihood of Purchase. ThriftBooks is delighted to have served its customers exceptionally across all categories and to be recognized for that by Newsweek and Statista again in 2025.
