I bought the Peter May book that costs 99p in the UK. No discount on it though. I'm not near my PC so can't remember the exact name of the book, maybe The Gateway and it's set on an island off Canada.

Anyway for anyone who reads Peter May they may be interested and it's the first in a new series. The promo will show up if you buy it.

The same book is full price in all the other countries and Amazon.
Entry Island. Good book. Well worth £0.99

The promo showed up for me after I bought the current UK daily deal. Didn't see this until after or I would have tried to post a link

Should anyone go ahead and do this promo could they post if there is an actual code. Although from what ATDrake is saying it seems that a code may not be given out but somehow acknowledgement is made at the checkout. Weird eh!

Anyhow it's the 50% code that would be good to post.

If anyone's morbidly curious, here are all the still-valid-in-Canada usable-on-any-eligible-couponable-title codes from the 1st post (less the current promo for alterego30, that is), which I checked after they turned off PERKOPOLIS for Canada (I also tried all the comeback codes and everything else at/over 35% off in the inactive list, IIRC, in case they'd recycled them).

As of the beginning of January these all still worked during a checkout test in an account that hadn't purchased anything from Kobo between mid-2013 and late-2014 and thus had never used them in the interim:
Spoiler:

35%
thanks8_6cl87

Comeback3cl23
Comeback6sq52
Comeback7cr53
20%
Welcome20
anniversary20
anniversary14
save20bday
birthdaykobo
kobobirthday14

YMMV as to whether or not these (or any of the other ones which may still work elsewhere), will be usable in your own account/locale, but in case you wanted to possibly save some time running down through the list of potentials when something finally pops up that you absolutely must have between contests.

Yep. I reported upthread that it was working as of Dec. 28, but dead on Dec. 31.

Sic transit.

And I've updated the first post by removing the other dead codes. Please do mention if any codes are definitely dead.

And if you find any of the inactive ones have come back to life, do say!

Man I could use a 75% (or more!) coupon right now. Why is it that the only time I'm clear on what I would do with one is when there's no chance to actually get one?

Versus the close-to-zero-as-makes-no-difference chance when there's a contest on, that is.

Darn. My kobo app on my ipad wouldn't start. Realised there was a Dec update and took care of that. Also applied a minor update to iOS. Finally got the app to work again. But now my shelves/collections have gone back to how they looked maybe six months ago (or before), meaning that many of my books have to be re-assigned to shelves. The 'I'm reading' section is also empty, and the shelves are no longer in alphabetical order. Why doesn't Kobo maintain a backup of this??? Not happy at all....

They do, unless you sideload your books. In that circumstance, all bets are off; they have no way of syncing that content to other devices (and possibly no right to do so), so storing that information in their cloud is rather pointless.

Well something got messed up. I have over 600 books and only a half dozen are side-loaded pdfs etc. (They all now appear at the top of my books list without covers). The rest are regular Kobo purchases all downloaded from their store. I'm going to stay off the app for a while and hope it all magically goes back to the way it was just this morning...

Of course, Kobo's data will show that the coupons from the contests are not being used as much as they used to, and will cancel the contests due to an obvious lack of interest.
