What are the current odds that Kobo will handle this Visa promotion correctly?

I suppose one can test it with a 99 cent book and wait the 2 days.

To the person who obviously created a new account just so they could anonymously PM me to complain about me sharing 20-25% codes - grow up! If you have something to say, be an adult and be up front with your complaints, dont sneak around and send snarky PMs.
I randomly checked quite a few of the codes I've shared and most had been used, so just because you dont want them shared and think they just clutter up the forum doesnt mean others arent happy to have them. The people that post in this forum are just a fraction of the ones who actually read it and many people are happy to save 25%, especially now that Kobo are not releasing as many codes as they used to.

I apologise to all who I have upset by cluttering up the forum with my rubbish codes. I certainly wont do it again. And neither will I share the 2 x 65% and 2 x 75% codes I was going to post in a few days. I would rather they just went unused than got snapped up by a certain whinging complainer.
sorry to hear that someone complained. that sucks. especially when you're being generous. I'm sure you've noticed, i often post codes of low value, as well as any better codes i don't intend to use, for just the same reason as you, some people WANT them. And having to respond to PMs for low value codes, or forcing people to create an MR account, never seemed like a good solution to me.

Anyway, i just wanted to show my support, and say i do the same thing for the same reason. I'm sorry that someone's harassment soured your feelings about sharing on the forum. Some people have to ruin things for everyone, no matter where they are.

btw, i haven't received any such PMs, but maybe that's because I've had less time to post this contest, than in previous contests.

hopefully, the annonymous PMer will realise their mistake in assuming everyone felt the same as them, and let people post whatever codes they are generous enough to spend their free time posting, without trying to make them feel bad about it.

Sorry that happened to you Chapter One.

I posted all my unused codes no matter what they were because I used to lurk this thread a lot and would use any discount I could when I had an ebook I wanted to buy. Even if it was just 10 or 20 percent.

As a by the way, about six weeks or so ago an MR member of less than 3 weeks membership sent me a PM 'asking me' to change my avatar image of Kiki to a more 'appropriate image'!! Apparently an early 1920's highly acclaimed photograph offended him!!

Yeah right .... not! (He was reported)
Quite incredible. It must be terrible to be so narrow-minded. Life must be a constant irritation for that person.

I've logged in specifically to say that I also appreciate ANY code, even if it were only as low as 5% discount. Every little bit helps.

I want to thank you and all the other posters of codes for being so generous. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to help others.

Sorting through a bunch of different books and publisher lists to decide what if anything I want to use this coupon on is really driving home to me how frustrating it is not to have a wishlist on the website.

Oh yeah, there are plenty of ways to do it, but a basic on-site wish list like any store should have would be nice all the same.

Yes, I use Amazon for the wishlist, and it's not TOO much of a pain going back and forth between two sites, but it just makes me look at how much cheaper they are there

Thanks everyone for the support, and I would like to make it clear that I never for a moment even considered it was Lynx-lynx. Not only is it simply not their style (Lynx-lynx is far too lovely for that sort of carry on) but it English is obviously not the sneaks first language.
But its in the past and over with now.

For my wishlist, I have a folder titled Wanted on my toolbar and bookmark the books page on Kobo or Amazon or where ever I first see it online and save it in the folder. However it usually only ever has yet to be released books in it. I rarely buy books just for the sake of it and if its a book I want, I either buy it immediately or download it from somewhere. Usually if I find a book I want to buy, I want it now and am too impatient to wait until I have a good code, so often I have nothing to use codes on and give them all away.

We most often stick to posting only 30% contest codes and above because basically people aren't interested in codes under 30%.

And thank you for using spoiler tags!
Who is we?

With limited availability of codes (are there any unlimited use codes for all countries), we welcome all codes.

You have received a 25% off
coupon for select eBooks.

The VISA promotion -- I can't buy a book with a contest coupon , use VISA checkout, and receive the credit. Is that what the fine print is saying?
