By the time I clicked one Preorder button, and then was looking at the next one (where billing info, etc., is included on the page, but no promotional options), I was afraid to click that 2nd blue Preorder button, because it looked like it might finalize the transaction at the original price.

And again, a code didn't work here. "SpringRomance" has expired. It had already expired in May, several days ago. As said, I never got any code to work except for one.

I don't think you can use coupons on pre-orders.

Sorry to hear that. I think SpringRomance and SpringSave80 were restricted till 1 or 3 June. I used them both at US, UK and India store. SpringRomance worked just two hours back in US store even though it's listed as expired on bargainmoose.

Yes, the SpringRomance and SpringSave80 codes expires on 3 June. I can never figure out which timezone they are talking about though, so it's always best to use the codes ASAP to avoid disappointment.

That's what it looks like to me! I just had a thought, though... I looked at Billingsgate's location, and it's Hong Kong. The book he'd (she'd?) applied the discount code to is to be released on June 4th, which is tomorrow (from a U.S. viewpoint). But it may have been almost June 4th in Hong Kong at the time he/she had ordered it, and maybe the switch from Preorder to the normal Buy button got flipped a little early.

In theory, I should see a normal Buy button by tomorrow (here in the US). Although I most often don't see a promotional code entry point option on such new stuff. We'll see!

Just like the prices, even the release dates of the same books differ depending on geography.
I'v never heard of the author but the book you are talking about has been released in Kobo store India in May 2013

Because I'm in Hong Kong, I often get the choice of US or UK editions, which are released at different times, and at different prices. In the case of Transatlantic by Colum McCann, I still see the US edition as preorder only, but the UK edition was released May 31 (and costs a few cents less). The UK edition is what I applied the discount to. And just in time, it seems, since the coupon expires today!

Bummer, it's 11:07, June 3 in US Eastern Time Zone (daylight savings) - and I just tried to use SpringSave80 - and was informed that it had expired. But but but ...it's still June 3. So, that means midnight June 2 it expired?

Used both large codes last week and was able to get a second story collection by Robert Aichman and Alban Berg and His World on the cheap! However, I just tried to use the various 20-30% codes in the first post on this thread and all seemed to have expired. Looks as though we're going to need a June refresh.

It appears as though all the better codes have expired. C'mon Kobo, we need some new codes - I want to go shopping
