This program seems to be geared to those buying several books a month especially from trad publishers.

Looking at the math:
Spending $20/month = $240/yr for 2400 points.
VIP members (cost $10) receive 4800pts + 10% off + free book from select group.

Unknowns are what type of bonuses would Kobo offer? Can you stack promo codes onto the 10% VIP offer?

For Americans visiting New Zealand, this works out somewhat better. The exchange rate makes a big difference.
Spending NZ$20/month = NZ$240/yr for 2400 pts costing US$152.30
VIP (NZ$10/US$6.35) receive 4800pts +10% + free title from select group. Also, you can redeem titles from trad publishers except Hachette and Wiley. However, I don't know if Kobo adjusts the Super Points when visiting other countries like they do the gift cards.
