I think you'd need at least a non-US VPN IP proxy to do this, and I don't know whether Kobo still requires that you have a valid credit card on file before it'll process even transactions paid for via gift card amount.
Speaking as a Canadian, I am often barred from even looking at pages for books that seem to be available only from the US, whether I'm logged in or not. Be sure to create your second account and use it entirely from your non-US IP.
As an experiment, I once tried using a secondary address I'd submitted for one of their contests to create a second non-Canadian account. Apparently that was seemingly perma-flagged in their database as Canadian despite my use of the IP proxy while doing the browsing and I had to try once again with a 3rd.
And books from certain publishers/imprints are no-discount even up here. Forget buying anything from Hachette or Grand Central Publishing or Little Brown. Plus you'd have to pay tax on top of it all (12% for much of Canada; pretend to be from Alberta to take it down to %5).
Though if you do manage to get a really good discount coupon, that might balance things out. I just bought 8 assorted Tor & Random House MMPB-equivalent books for 3.53 each after tax (regularly around 6.99 to 7.99 @ Amazon US as far as I can tell).
Hope this helps.
