This even though they originally told me that they could get the code to work (although I could not).

I am annoyed. I first tried to use the code on what would have been the last day of the contest and contacted Kobo the next day, so I've written back and asked when these codes expire. If I get an answer, I'll post it.

Do you have a date/time stamp in the screenshot? If you can show it was tried during the contest time, you should be able to get compensated. Kobo sadly has some idiots working for them; if you can back up your claims, you can usually push on until someone intelligent assists you.

That's a good strategy. Stall with pointless back and forth until the codes expire, then act like you're the idiot.

It turns out that as might be expected Kobo US has been running an Independence Day sale, which is still good through July 6th just before midnight EST.

Lots of trad-publisher stuff on promo mostly at the $1.99-$4.99 USD price point, with some books also discounted in other regions as well. Selection isn't quite as good as the still-ongoing Canada Day sale, but some interesting-looking books, especially in the non-fiction section, and many of them are couponable.

Main promo index page
Save up to 70% on great reads!
Save up to 70% on Fiction bestsellers!
Save up to 70% on Thriller bestsellers! (lots of cozy mysteries in Kensington series on sale)
Save up to 70% on Romance bestsellers! (a very different selection from the Canada Day sale)
Save up to 70% on Non-Fiction bestsellers! (lots of cookbooks and US politics/history-related titles, as might be expected, and some surprising stealth Canadiana selections)
Save up to 70% on Kids & Teens bestsellers!

Perseverance pays off! After I reminded them about the dates involved, CS sent me a 90% off coupon that does not expire until the end of the year.

Celebrate after you actually use it and it works!

This coupon is supposedly good worldwide from July 7-16th. Save 30% off!

Promo Code: JULYWW30

Okay, EDITED TO ADD: here is a link to the books that qualify:

https://store.kobobooks.com/List/sav...fcJdNAjSa1PAag

They are not in order by genre (or anything else that I can tell). There are several pages. I'm only on the second page...

Added to the first post. A reminder: If anyone notices any expired codes on the first page, do let me know so I can move them to the inactive list.

Just checked and the Kobo contest coupons still seem to be working but probably expire tonight, so here are my unused 30% off ones if anyone wants to do any last minute shopping (mostly obtained in Canada on the last day of the contest, but seem to be applicable in other regions; YMMV):

Lucky you. They stopped working for me the moment the contest was shut down (and prematurely so, too)

Lynx-lynx · 07-09-2015, 11:36 PM

What a bizarre Contest!!

My UK codes tested okay one day, and weren't working the next day, from about Day 4 onwards. Note I didn't test any lower than 45%.

Some in CA and US had codes work all the way through, some codes worked only the day of the Contest, and others worked for a couple of days.

I hope Kobo identifies what the devil they've stuffed up by next Contest, eh!
