I'm an idiot....I was thinking April, 2010.....NOT April 10th, 2011.

My purchases with my Groupon:

Firefly Island - Daniel Arenson $2.99
The Starter - Scott Sigler $7.99
The Fixer - Jon F Merz $2.99

I used my whole groupon today. I didn't want to risk forgetting to use it and losing some of the value! Thanks for bringing this to my attention...I didn't bother reading the fine print!

To go back and check the balance you have to input the gift card and PIN number again
If you just want to check your balance total and not the individual amounts, in your Account section, instead of clicking on Check Balance, click on Manage Gift Cards for Ebooks. This page will show a list of your gift card (s) and their balances listed without having to put in your gift card and pin numbers.

Also, btw, if anyone has more than 1 gift card and is wondering about how charges are applied in the case where 1 has an expiration date, the charges are applied to the most recently added card first.

Also, this same "Manage Gift Cards for eBooks" section says:

"You can save a maximum of 3 Gift Cards, eGift Cards and Online Gift Certificates."

So, if like me, you got several folks (me, dad, dad's girlfriend, husband, a friend) to buy these gift cards for you, you will have to input and use up some before being able to input them all. I'm not anticipating a problem since I have a LOT of books on my "To buy when a good deal comes along" list , but still something to be aware of...

Thanks Upplepop
Now my back and forth over whether to get a Nook or a Sony is edging closer to Nook.

They do after removing the DRM. Maybe before, too... I wouldn't know.

This is a total pain, as I did the same. B&N could take a lesson from amazon which makes entering gift cards totally painless. Why keep them all separate and not just tally a credit balance like amazon does?

I suspect they tout it as a feature - you can add and remove each person's gift card, to buy books. Would work well on a shared account (with a dummy credit card attached that has no balance to draw against).

Then why make a limit of only 3? It's not like the computer database couldn't handle a couple more entries.

I actually don't get what you mean anyway. Shared account with dummy card?

Thanks!

I won't try any of their ebooks, but there is a cookbook I want that is $21 so this will really help.
