I'm getting the "refer a friend, they get $5, you get $5" offer again, but only after I checkout with a purchase.

The link is here: https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/pu...Purchase=False but it doesn't work unless I have just checked out.

I have no idea if this is another Kobo "mistake" or if this is real. I've just now tried, sending from one account of mine to a new address of my husband's. The "please join" email did arrive in his inbox, but the "Shop Now" button in the email led to a webpage with an error (you gotta love Kobo).

So I went ahead and just created a new Kobo account with his new email address (he's going to love that <g>), just to see what would happen. The new account doesn't show any $5 credit, but I seem to remember that the last time they did something like this, it took a little while for the credits/codes to show up. And I'm not supposed to get a $5 credit back until he (me!) buys something in his new account.

Anyway, just curious if anyone else is seeing this, and if so, if you're having any luck with it?
