Just curious. Whenever I log into my Kobo account I get a link to "Get $10." My brother wanted to set up a Kobo account anyhow (like me, he wants someone other than Amazon to get some of our business), so he suggested I refer him. Which I did. He bought his book(s) they met the requirements ... and now nearly a week without email from Kobo about the referral.

Did I miss something? Is the credit conditional on something more than my brother buying books? Does the Kobo referral credit system actually work, or is it there just to entertain idiots like me? (My brother did get his $5 credit.) It's not a huge deal, but if it doesn't work I really don't want to bother with it in the future. (The $10 credit for setting up a new Walmart eBooks account never materialized either.)
