Kobo Discounts: Coupon Codes + Discussion - Page 995

Cromag what if you try a code that works for you on a publisher that isn't the same as the ones you've just used your codes on.

(I'll try different publishers tomorrow when I'm back on my PC).

cromag · 01-21-2016, 03:09 AM

I can give it a try tomorrow. Any requests on titles/sources? Anyone want to pass me a title that failed for them to see if it works for me? I'm happy to check to see if a coupon is accepted, but I won't go through with the purchase (unless it's a good code and a title I want).

Thanks cromag

Try Kerry Greenwood, one of her titles witha .49 or similar price ending. They're the books I test with. And yes, I only test - don't go through with the transaction.

Okay. Soon as I get a code.

It's a good thing Schrödinger's cat doesn't rely on Kobo coupons for food while it's in the box...

And the problem is, if you get a good code like ferrywoman did, it may not work now or at all if they do fix the problem ........

The CA contest is the same, meaning it's not working either. Tried it this morning and neither 10% code I received worked.

I've used two contest codes today and they both worked. I'm in the UK

Who was the publisher?

jimars · 01-21-2016, 04:13 PM

Thanks for the advice everyone. I got a 35% and a 45% yesterday -- neither one works.

Lynx-lynx · 01-21-2016, 07:04 PM

This morning all my game 3 UK Contest codes tested as working on the following book:

Murder and Mendelssohn by Kerry Greenwood.

I wanted to test a code on this book in the US and CA stores as well, but my ISP has gone off the air so I can't.

Can I ask that someone does test a code against that book in the UK store and if it works then test it in the US and CA. Perhaps we can then use that book as the testing standard.

They used to sell PDFs on Kobo but I like to think my constant badgering of them by email helped to get that stopped, it's epubs only now.

I bought A Kind of Truth by Lane Hayes and Island Doctor by Sue Brown.

My only regret is the contest will finish before To Catch a Tiger by its Tail is released. I'll have to pay full price for that one

but lately Kobo is cheaper than Amazon

Okay, so I've now successfully tested a UK Contest code on the Murder and Mendelssohn book in CA and the US ..... so anyone who is trying to figure out if their Contest code is working can test it on that book in the UK CA or US and if their code works, but doesn't work on the book that they want, then for whatever reason there's a problem with the book they want.

No one has recently complained about codes not working, so maybe the situation is sorted?
