Well, I tried to buy the £60/£70 gift card, and got a mysterious error. So I contacted Customer Service, and they couldn't solve it, even when I switched from Paypal to a direct card transaction, so they escalated it.

And then I got an email from CS with a 90% coupon. So I used that to buy VIP membership for £0.60. And then I tried buying the gift card again, and this time I got a text on my mobile from the bank, saying they'd refused three transactions from Kobo, and were they me? So I said they were, tried to buy it again, and this time it worked.

Why there was a problem with Paypal is a mystery.

But now I have my £60 giftcard applied, and I'm just waiting for the £10 gift to turn up. It looks like my next purchases will be from Kobo. I shall have fun getting price matches, it seems....
