I don't seem to be able to use those codes in my German Kobo account.
So, 2 questions:
- Are those (or at least some) codes valid for all countries? Strictly American? Some American, some regional, some global?
- Are there discounts in Germany at all? I'm asking because of the book price binding.

Only my second post, so please excuse me if this seems to be a stupid or dated question for you experts.
I've been able to use contest codes on German books in the U.S. store from Goldmann and btb Verlag (and I think Heyne is also eligible) - I think you can do the same in the UK and Canada stores, but the base, undiscounted start price is usually cheapest in the U.S.. I just always assumed the Buchpreisbindung disqualified codes in the Germany store, so haven't tried...hopefully someone else might know more on that.

ETA: as you can tell, 'it's complicated' and 'it depends'!
