Thanks for the replies above.

I guess the only way to figure everything out is to go throught he order emails and tally up the figures. Will report back if any interesting pattern shows up.

I looked into my account page and found that the gift card monies are being stored as Hong Kong dollars... It's interesting that I bought the gift card in Aussie dollars and then loaded it up in the Indian store but it is saved as Hong Kong dollars. Until recently I'd only been buying books in Hong Kong dollars and they can tell from my IP address I'm in Hong Kong...

To the best of my recollection it's always been 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 45, 55 and they more recently added 65 & 75% codes. Perhaps some really early contests had 50's?

There used to be a lot of other 50% codes that floated around though.

And 90. There were/was some/one of them maybe 6 months back. Ah, the good ole days . . . .

UPDATE: Oops, that might have been B&N. I'll have to check.

Samosa I'm wondering if the balance shows in HKD because you're currently viewing it whilst logged into the HK site?

Another way of using the gift card and ensuring that it uses the currency of your choice may be to open an account for say India, and another account for wherever else you may want to use the gift card and gift it to those individual accounts .....

Well, I suspect the contest really starts at noon EST, Kobo's not being attentive to pesky details. That would be 1 PM EDT, which we're currently observing.

The distribution is wonderful this time with a daily 10% chance of winning a 55% or better code (the last contest only had a 1% chance).

This contest distribution is identical to the May one where we had so much "fun" with high value codes
