We are in the final testing of this change and expect to have it resolved in two weeks.
I tried to put in a borders gift card number and got the following error...

Sorry, but something went wrong with your purchase. If this problem persists, please contact Kobo Customer Care and provide them with error code [275].

I just want to know if there is something I am doing wrong and to alert others of this issue.

I was thinking I could buy gift cards from Borders and use them at Kobo. But no go so far.
