  • What are the details of the referral program?
  • Spread the word. Tell every Aggie you know about MaroonBook, and for each new, full-priced listing that names you as their referrer, we will pay you $50. It’s that simple.

    At the end of the registration process, you will be given a Referral Code. Hand this 5 digit number to as many of your friends and Aggies as you can and tell them to use it while registering so that you can receive a $50 referrer fee from TexAgs.com. Use this code as often as you want, there is no limit to the number of referral fees you can receive.
  • Can my listing show up in more than one region?
  • You have the option of picking only one region per MaroonBook listing. Each additional listing will be treated as a separate listing all together.
  • Can I pay monthly for my listing?
  • Payment is due in full at the time of listing purchase.
  • What is the MaroonBook Spotlight?
  • The Spotlight is an ad location designated exclusively for MaroonBook listings. The ad will appear on the TexAgs.com homepage, and 37 discussion forums. Listings will appear in the Spotlight based on geographic location. Meaning that a user in Dallas will see businesses listed in MaroonBook from the Dallas area. Each MaroonBook listing will rotate through the Spotlight randomly; Premium listings will appear three times more often than Basic level listings.
  • Do I have to be an Aggie to purchase a MaroonBook listing?
  • While MaroonBook targets Aggies, we realize that others (non-Aggies) will want to reach the Aggie community as well. If someone who didn’t attend Texas A&M recognizes the value of doing business with Aggies, they are welcome to participate. Aggie listings will be designated by maroon text and a class year.
