Their help page suggests that it's possible to use Indigo cards on kobo.com. This thread also suggests that someone has managed to use an Indigo/Chapters card on kobo.com.
If it matters, I live in the US. (If Kobo turns out to be using IP geolocation to screw me over, I'm going to be very unhappy, but I wouldn't doubt they'd do it.) |
It probably matters a good deal where you live. I get the option to use an Indigo gift card when I use the Kobo site but I live in Canada -- see the attached image. You might want to remember that Chapters/Indigo is a Canadian company and their gift cards are issued in Canadian dollars. Given that I can't use my Canadian issued Starbucks card in Seattle and Amazon.com will not accept an Amazon.ca gift card, I would not expect Kobo U.S. to accept an Indigo gift card. Heck, I can't even use Canadian coinage in American vending machines.
I think you are being a bit paranoid saying that they are out to screw you when you are using a gift card issued in a foreign currency by a different company. Though I must admit to a touch of curiosity as to where you obtained the gift card.
