I see. 15 emails × 10 entries is the limit of my patience and I got no usable coupons.
I did it while I was watching TV as something to do with my hands (until I got bored).

Does anyone know if Kobo has changed where they do their billing from (maybe now they were bought by Rakuten)?

I finally, a few months ago, after many hours and much effort on the phone, got my credit card company finally set up so they wouldn't bounce my purchases from Kobo - or my attempted purchases immediately after Kobo, as happened more often. At the time they told me they were seeing Kobo as a Canadian purchase.

The whole thing just started all over again today, and this time Kobo is showing up as billing from Luxembourg! And my credit card company decided to bounce my purchase at the gas station almost a full day after I bought some books from Kobo...as the credit card rep said on the phone: "Well, if you were in Luxembourg a few hours ago (which was wrong - it was about 23 hours, not a few), how can you be buying gas in the US now..."

This piece of wisdom seemed worthy of Kobo itself (sorry, any Kobo folks reading this)...even ignoring the fact that Kobo is an INTERNET merchant, and thus charges from Kobo have no bearing on my physical location, there are these little things called airplanes

The conversation then continued with him suggesting that after I use the card to buy something from Kobo, I then wait for TWO days to try to use it in the US. Talk about an inane response! I finally got to a supervisor, who claimed he would fix it the problem, but we'll see next time I try to buy from Kobo...

Wow!

Anyway, just curious if anyone else has noticed or had problems with this?

The best I managed in this contest was one 55% coupon. The rest were 30% or lower

Bob, so it seems that an app is required to download this book? That is, a Kobo Apple app, or android app.

Because it's not opening on Kobo Desktop for PC, and can't be found in My Library.

sufue I've just checked my cc statement for February and it shows that in January I got billed by 'Kobo Internet' which is consistent with all my other Kobo cc charges.

It doesn't state where Kobo Internet is though.

BTW Luxembourg is where certain large companies have established tax havens (from their own country's taxes). So maybe Rakutan has shifted Kobo North America's billing to Luxembourg.

I have no way of answering that. Not without buying the book myself, that is, and it's completely not in my wheelhouse.

Thanks! Actually people say they are good about a week after the contest ends, despite what the emails say. Never checked myself...

Btw, there's a thread for this sort of thing...
