Free $50 Credit at Sony Ebook Store

fakehate · 12-29-2007, 04:07 PM

This is from a post at slickdeals.net

For those with an account in the Ebook Store from Sony (for the Sony Reader), do the following:

1) Log into your account
2) Click on 'Account' on the top right
3) Click on 'Redeem A Code'
4) Enter code "HOLIDAYGIFT" (case sensitive)

Voila, $50 in your account for free books. I think this is for users who purchased directly from Borders Books, but it seems to work for everybody (Costco, direct from Sony, etc). I purchased from a different store, and this worked on top of the $50 coupon that I received.

Edit: This Gift Code will also work with a newly opened account. If you've never registered your Reader, now is a great time to do it.

Well, bless your soul, fake, that really does work! Wonderful gift. Can't figure it out, but now I will order some more books.

Thanks a million for the tip.

It's not a gift. It's theft plain and simple.

Well, of course, you're absolutely correct. I'm chagrined that I did not recognize that immediately.

All. I bought my reader from Borders 8 weeks back and was told there was a coupon for free books when I registered but it never showed up. I noted the comment regarding "theft". Not if you bought it from Borders! The SONY registration site requires the purchaser to note where it was purchased. It isn't rocket science to note the date of the registration and the location where it was purchased to ascertain qualification for the coupon.

Thank you very much for that code. It worked!

Cheers.

I just set up a new account, and it worked for me.

Since I don't have a Sony Reader, I don't know quite what I will do with it.

Hi !

Thank you for the code.
Do you happen to know what's the limit date for the purchases using this code ?

WOW! Thank you so much, fakehate. That's a really really nice gift!

Nate the great · 12-29-2007, 06:24 PM

According to my account, the credit expires 31/3/08.

TadW · 12-29-2007, 06:32 PM

Don't count on the expiration date. I cannot imagine Sony intended to have this code spread on the world wide web. Who knows how long it will stay valid...

Excellent, thanks

Posting the code is almost like giving away ebooks on the darknet. Please don't use it unless you got it legally.
