Bought a series I had my eye on. One of the books was U$4.49 (VIP). Used the 90% miss-you coupon sent to me last week. Later saw the author had tweeted, just hours before, book was $0.99 on Kindle (just my luck). Checked Nook and iBooks—$1.99. Sent a Price Match request with the Amazon link.

Credited $0.45.

All told, it appears to be a reimbursement since that's what the book cost me. Chalking it up to pricing error, perhaps? I'm trying to decide if I want the headache that will surely come with questioning this.
My guess is that they won't refund more than you paid. Even Kobo doesn't want to pay you to read its books. It's a shame about the coupon, though.

If it were me, I'd chalk it up. Dealing with Kobo CS is no fun and you've got no guarantee they'll increase your credit. You have to put a value on your time.
