My guess is Kobo couldn't program the egift card redemption to only allow use on certain books. Whereas coupons have always been so.
I am still not seeing how publishers can tell a bookstore that it can't give away a gift card, or that a gift card it issues cannot be used for certain purchases. It's completely differerent from a coupon.

I don't know how Borders Bucks works, exactly, but it's not a gift card, or they'd call it a gift card.

I have a promotional gift card from BN, for example, that I got free directly from BN. I can apply it to anything I buy from BN, Agency or not, just the same as a purchased gift card.
