I've had Kobo e-mail me the same code more than once, even several times, so that it was already used before they even emailed it to me. In fact, duplicate codes are pretty much all I get from them now, which is sort of absurd or pathetic, I'm not quite sure which
.
I didn't track the codes at first, but after I started having problems with them I started, and by now, most of the time when I get a code, it's one I already have on my list. I'm not sure why they do this - it seems as if it would create more bad will than good will, and one would imagine they'd be trying to create good will with a code, but with Kobo, who knows...
I also read another theory somewhere, probably in this thread, which is that you can only use one of each "type" of code - i.e. one 90% code, one 50% code, etc. per account. So going by that theory, even if it were a new code, but you'd used some other 50% code in the past, it wouldn't work. I haven't ever gotten up the energy to try to test this theory, but if anyone has, it would be interesting to hear how it worked out.

Sorry you couldn't get it to work either. Maybe someone who tries it will get lucky. |
