Touch where I can load kobo giftcard?

[Smartie]

I am going to buy kobo giftcard from someone(from kijiji). I checked kobo online, didn't find any place I can load kobo giftcard. Can anyone tell me where I can load giftcard or at least how to validate the value(any phone on the back?)?

Thanks

For physical gift cards, enter the number during checkout, see the link just below the promo code box (might be different in different countries). Any balance left over from the purchase gets added to your store credit.


For eGift cards the full balance is added to your store credit as soon as you accept the gift.

Thing is I just want to load into my account for future purchase.seems I have to purchase something now.

If you are in a country that allows eGift cards to be purchased, you could use your physical gift card to purchase an eGift card, send the eGift to yourself, accept the gift from yourself immediately, and you will then have the full amount of the physical gift card as store credit on your account.

To the best of my knowledge the only place in the US to sell them at all is Frys Electronics which are mainly in California and Texas with a few in a handful of other states.

Another thing(Sorry for so many silly questions. Kobo system is too complicated compare with Amazon)

I tried to pre-order "Written in My Own Heart's Blood", but Kobo only show credit card information and it doesn't show my store credit, does this mean I can only buy it by credit card?

Yes, because with pre-orders the $ isn't charged until the book is available and your store credit might be spent by that time. As far as I know, all the major stores do the same.
