- Then I try to use few 35% coupons I won. These coupons are from all three regions (US, UK, CA), and it doesn't matter which site I am logged into to buy.
(Yes, all the titles I am trying to buy are eligible for discount.)
Why kobo, why??!!

They are probably doing it as a part of wider changes. I know when they have some sales sponsored by authors, the sales are now often regional--so when the sale is happening in Australia, for example, the codes/books are not on sale in other regions. The books may appear on sale in all regions EVENTUALLY, but not all at the same time. The codes only work on the weekends for a particular region.
Kobo has already cut back on countries where the coupons work. Perhaps they have decided that they will only allow coupons won in the UK to be used there and so on.
