I then went back to my original Canadian Kobo account and deleted the credit card info and lost the promo code option. I've now added it back but I am rather concerned about the implications of this. Anyone who wants to use promo codes has no choice but to register credit card info. While I have been ok with allowing Kobo to have my credit card info for the last few years, I only did so because of the hassle of re-entering with every book I bought.
This change is clearly related to the switch to the new "look" and the cart option now in place in Canada, US, UK and India (sites I have tried). In Mexico the old checkout option is still in place so no need to register credit card info in order to use promo codes.
By the way, 75off and bookriot50 worked in India today; 85off and 95comic did not.

Not sure about India or Canada, but on the new checkout screen there should be an option to add a giftcard (Kobo or Chapters Indigo). You should be able to do this in lieu of putting a credit card on file.
