Looking at the math:

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.
Thanks for doing the math. I appreciate the discussion. I'm not sure it would be worth the money for me, but if I could use a coupon I would consider the VIP.

I don't buy a significant amount of books from Kobo. However, I would like to buy more from them. I find their website and the site search to be a painful process.
