Hehe..well, I´m glad they got it up...since I was six days behind when I went to play this morning. Managed to catch up now though. At first when I read it was up again, I tried and it didn´t work....until I realised that once you get the closed message, it changes the URL, so you can´t just refresh to get it working again, you have to go again to the original URL...silly me.
Anyway, I shoulda posted the first days´ 15 codes immediately, in case they really do expire after just 7 days, but they were pretty crappy codes, mostly 10, 20, 25%, so I didn´t bother. Unfortunately I copy and paste the codes as I get them, and didn´t think to separate out the ones I got almost a week ago, so there´s a chance 15 of these codes will expire really soon...but they were mostly low ones and will be the first codes in their respective lists....and it was none of the 35%s which I got all today (I assume it´s the day you win the code that counts, not the contest day question from which the code eminated from which counts). Anyway, no real goodies, but a few 35s at least: Spoiler:

I was able to play successfully (in Canada) both yesterday and today, so the contest is still working for some.
To follow up with someone else's comment about books being cheaper at Amazon - forget Amazon, the book I want is cheaper if I buy the physical book! I've been buying books in this particular series for a while now. Probably 6 months ago, they would be 12.99 or so when they first released, and would eventually drop down to 9.99. Then they went up to $15 and $16 something on first release - I bought one two weeks ago I think that was 16.59 for the ebook (used a coupon of course!). There was a new one released Aug. 1st, and I was just waiting for a decent code to use on it. Until I saw the price! $21.59! The real sting in this? The paperback version is $14.02. In this particular case, I would actually prefer the ebook to the paperback, but no way am I paying 150% of the price for the book for the e-version! |

Ugh!! I finally get a good code 75% and when I go to use it, get the error message that it can't be applied to my purchase. And yes it is a couponable book and a lower code worked just not the 75% one.....figures.

A new day, a new question. The eighth one in the series. But neither it, nor the seventh, are working.

Another broken contest. I emailed their CS and they sent an automated reply to expect a CS within 24 to 48 hours.
Anyone got 25%, 20%, 10% codes that you don't need? Can you send it to me please? I need it to buy some cheap books. Last edited by fullybook; 08-05-2015 at 05:10 AM. |

After a bit of research, I've discovered that Kobo, in conjunction with the University of Ottawa, Department of Psychology, has agreed to conduct a psychological experiment on human behaviour when encountering conflicting stimuli in the context of an online contest.

That happened to me. If you contact CS and can send them a screen shot of the coupon confirmation with the date, they may give you another coupon.
