Quite a few of us have won devices and around Christmas time someone from here won the major $1,000 prize. So imo it pays to use legit email addresses.

Or you can use a gmail address. If you put a dot "." in the address, it lands into your regular account. For example, username@gmail.com and use.rname@gmail.com (or userna.me@gmail.com) will be seen as different addresses but you receive all of them in one place.

I love the idea about the dot! Thanks for that. I actually do use mostly all real email addresses because of aliases with a few completely fake. Now it seems I will be creating a bunch of new Kobo logons.

I'm having the same problem today.

Anyone else?

Same here. Typical Kobo. I'll try again tomorrow and hopefully they will have their act together again.

Of course it makes sense. This is Kobo. They routinely put up barriers, knock them down and generally cause us to go in circles. You gotta be tough, clever and determined to play their trivia! It's not for the faint of heart! No weenies allowed.

I love the . in gmail email addresses hack. I've even signed up to gmail just for that!

[Mura35]

I think Kobo is updating. I see a lot of code errors

Can I also use digits after my user name, such as username.101@gmail.com?

I went through all of my email accounts. I had a 90% code associated with a list, I gave that to a friend and she used it successfully.

I also had a 75% code, in the same email account, expires today. It is associated with a list - -I think the list is titled "based on your purchase history, these are the books you are least likely to buy". There aren't many books on this list at all.

In addition, in the same account, I had a get 50% off your first book, but that expired on 4/24.

In 2 other accounts, I have 40% of your first purchase (although, this wouldn't be the first purchase for any of the accounts I mentioned) it did attache a list, but the list has 1,400,000 books, so I am assuming that this is just the list of coupon eligible books at KOBO. One expires today, one tomorrow.
