Locate the designated collection
Hoopla’s patron guidance points to a Bonus Borrows panel on the home screen or featured collections within each format. Open that collection and inspect the actual item you want. A film found through ordinary search should not be treated as promotional solely because it appears during the same week.
Keep a note of the collection label and the current title offer before borrowing. This is especially useful when a recommendation arrives through a link or an old screenshot. A title that belonged to an earlier promotion does not automatically retain that treatment in another month.
Calculate seven calendar days inclusively
The published programme window is the final seven days of the month. In a thirty-day month, that means dates twenty-four through thirty when counted inclusively. In a thirty-one-day month, it means twenty-five through thirty-one. These examples are calendar arithmetic rather than an additional service deadline.
Use the actual month and current collection, rather than carrying forward a saved date from the previous month. If you are making a viewing plan several weeks ahead, keep it provisional until the selected titles and offer appear in your account.
Check the borrow outcome separately from the viewing period
The programme description says eligible Bonus Borrows debit zero from the monthly allowance. That is a borrowing-account rule; it does not by itself specify a new universal viewing duration for every movie, book or other format. Read the item’s own access period.
For example, deciding to borrow during the promotional window and deciding when to finish the film are two separate checks. Retain the displayed due date after checkout. If the allowance appears to change unexpectedly, report the exact title, transaction date and promotional label to the official support or library route.
