Finally I bought 16 ebooks. Now I will wait till the are charged from my credit card. Than I will see if the code still works. I had really enough books to read, now I have a few more.

Yep - after your credit card has been charged the code will still work (based on past experience).
It's only after you start receiving Kobo purchase receipts that the code will probably stop working. |

fdkY9rd for 90% off is stil working
![]() As for the credit card - my card is getting charged for each transaction and I get notified from the bank about the charge. So I guess that all who are worried that they'll be later charged for full amounts - that is not the likely scenario. As Katsunami said, worst case you might get your payments reimbursed and boosk taken out of library. But I don't see that happening - 95comic was similar situation and I bought many books that time as well. Kobo's receipts were late, but the amount I paid remained the same - 5% of the retail price ![]() As for the card companies accepting strange addresses - I have the same experience wherever I shop online - they care about the data printed out on your card and anything else - passwords, OTP - that only you might know. Other stuff seems not to matter. And this includes shopping on Amazon too. |

I feel sad and strange here.
Am I the only one who haven't been able to use that superb code, even for one simple book...? Country and checkout version combination, I suppose. Yes, I could change my profile data and select another country, but I'm too lazy. Well, I've spent that time reading instead of buying a pile of books ![]() Now, waiting for the next massive coupon, like that before Christmas... ![]() |

Maybe I shouldn't have posted my last message. Now it applies the code allright but after comfirmation it says:
Oops! Something went wrong. Please review your payment information and try again. Well, it was good while it lasted. |

Changed payment method but no go. Is it possible Kobo in a panic now refuses all payments until they've sorted out their mistake (for a mistake it must have been)?

Works in South Africa but ONLY in FireFox which shows the NEW style checkout. Didn't work in Windows Explorer which uses the old style checkout. Paid with credit card.
Have used it three times so far today :-) Those having trouble getting the code to work, perhaps use FireFox? Thank you so much for this, Lady Stardust, this came at the perfect time!!! :-) Last edited by ukprog; 03-02-2014 at 05:02 AM. |

ETA: I hit the 15-transaction limit earlier tonight, and it cleared within four hours. That is, I tried again about an hour later, and when that didn't work I waited a bit longer than two more hours - in case my it's-been-an-hour attempt reset the timer. Thus, the hold time could be anywhere between about 90 minutes and four hours. Last edited by Rev. Bob; 03-02-2014 at 05:15 AM. Reason: Moar data! |

Well, 15 books was exactly what I got so you may be right, Rev. Bob. And it probably is linked to the IP, because my wife couldn't order anything (on another computer and another account) after my 15 transactions.
