They didn't work. When I went to re-check them, I looked at my list of codes and realized that KOBO sent me these exact codes in September, so of course, they don't work. In September they expired on 9/16. I did use them. The codes I just received are due to expire on 10/16. I did try them in both the KOBO account associated with the email and a different account just to be sure. And, yes I did check that the books I tried were coupon eligible.

For those of you that have received codes lately that didn't work, I wonder if this is the reason.
I had the same thing happen to me recently, although I didn't realize that it might be because they had sent me the same codes. I've complained about this and was told the coupons worked just fine for them. I still have the codes Susan A if you want to swap and see if one of my codes works for you, and I can see if one of yours works for me.

This happened to me recently too. I called customer support after getting a runaround via e-mail. They kept trying to brush me off, but when it became clear to them that was quite willing to keep arguing, they gave me a 100% off single use coupon.

That coupon also did not work. I decided to call it day at that point.

It was slow to load for me a couple of hours ago but it did load eventually. Just tried again now and it came up almost instantly so perhaps they have fixed whatever was causing problems earlier.

I just tried using the link in the first post and got contest closed. Is there another link for US?

Yes, completely different. A weekly contest that runs until Nov. with your entry thrown into a ballot. No codes given for replying, just a chance at the main prize draw.

I sure hope this doesn't replace the regular contest [codes]. If it does, my days at shopping at Kobo are over. I've said for a long time that the codes [lower prices] are my only reason to shop there. I guess we'll find out by the 3rd week or end of the month if there's no new contest.

There have been a couple updates recently so make sure you're using the latest Obok. If you've updated and it's still not working, then sign out and back in to Kobo Desktop. Be prepared that doing so will first delete and then redownload all your books. If you have a large library, that can take a while.

Yep. I'd much rather get the occasional good discount than a chance at a trip and without the discounts, Kobo's not the low-cost seller. I think this contest in conjunction with SuperPoints program doesn't bode well, but predicting what Kobo will do is a mug's game.

Thanks a lot for the reminder. I just discovered that there has been some updates. The Obok on my computer has been misbehaving for a while, and now with the suggestions of you guys I am able to get the books into Calibre again.

A few books still wouldn't budge but I haven't got around to work out why they wouldn't.

I haven't tried it yet myself, but the latest Obok works with Kobo devices too. So maybe that way would do the trick.
