Rather than running around trying to find the elusive, often non-existent in the US Kobo gift card & wasting time, gas costs & effort why not pay $4.95 and be done with it.
Happy Kobo shopping. Happy life & happy reading but no, you'd rather stand firm that you want the gift card because it's "easier". Makes no sense to me.
If that still makes no sense to you, have a friend or family member with a credit card BUY you a Kobo gift card online for you to use on your Kobo account and give them the cash. OR drive to Canada hit just about any store: Shoppers Drug Mart, Chapters/Indigo, Best Buy, Walmart & buy the card yourself with the higher value US dollar and save a few bucks in the process. Check with Kobo first to make sure a Canadian bought card will work with a US Kobo account.
Other than that, I think you're pretty much S.O.L.

I know stores aren't carrying them which is why I am asking for an alternative. Your assuming I ran around to look for the cards when perhaps I had errands at frys and best buy and decided to look, you're also assuming my method of transportation. I asked for alternatives with those parameters if you don't like my question, why bother responding? I do not understand your logic, if there is an alternative gift card why would you buy the credit card instead, especially if they are going to charge you more? Its super easy to get a gift card, unlike some of those credit cards which can have lengthy activation methods and charge you, which is why I don't want to go that route. Is it that hard to understand that I don't want to pay an extra 5$ every time I want some books? If you would prefer me to pay more than I want for my books then why don't you send me the extra money and go through the activation methods for the credit cards?
