They also USED to be available in the US, but aren't currently if I understand things correctly.
From what I heard unofficially, Kobo stopped the online gift cards in US due to recent changes in laws pertaining to gift cards purchase and redemption. Their use is now highly regulated to prevent anti-consumer terms and conditions. Plus, each state can add their own statutes to the Federal ones.

For example, in my state any balance less than $5 can be returned to me in cash at my request. All gift cards will escheat to the state after 5 years from date of purchase.
