Hi, I bought a Sony reader in San Francisco yesterday. I'm just visiting from the UK so didn't enter a USA credit Card etc. when registering and authorising the Reader. I was able to get the $50 store credit for eBooks and the 50 free titles from the Classic list with no worries. Spent the $50 and downloaded 7 books (and a bunch of classic titles last night).

Today I bought 2 $25 eBook cards in Borders. However when I try to redeem them at the Connect Store it gives me an error that they are not valid. It actually says in the dialog box "Sorry, coupon code is invalid. Sorry, that coupon code is not valid".

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? has anyone got this to work with out having a USA credit card on file at the store?

BTW - Love the Reader. Was going to get an Iliad but to expensive at this stage for an impulse buy.
