If you're in Canada, go to a Chapters/Indigo/Coles and get your free $10 credit for Kobo. Details here.

Mine did as well since my post. But now I'm even more confused. I spent £16.33 and got originally 543 points for that transaction. My bonus is 4838 points How did that get worked out at 5X points!

I got more points than I expected too, my bonus worked out about 6.7x instead of 5x.

Working on 543 as 2x points on my order my bonus of 4838 is 17.75x!

Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? How does one get the promo code from Chapters?

I have no idea. The event I got bonus points for was spend $25 CDN, get 5,000 bonus point. (Which I did.) Canada didn't have a points multiplier at all (at least, not one that I was aware of.)

No, and it doesn't actually say. I don't think I can go tomorrow, but I may be able to stop by my local chapters on Saturday, and I will ask and see if they know.

Let us know what you find if you happen to go there, please.

I also found this on the Indigo website:

*Offer valid only in Canada, until December 31, 2016 at 11:59PM EST. Upon activation a $10 CAD credit will be applied to your Kobo account. Credit is valid only for first time purchasers of Kobo content. If you have made a purchase using your Kobo account in the past, you are not eligible for this offer. Device must be activated by December 31, 2016 at 11:59PM EST to receive offer. Credit must be used by January 7, 2017 at 11:59PM EST. Any unused credit will be forfeited after this date. This offer is not valid in conjunction with any offer or promotion and cannot be used to adjust amounts paid on previous purchases. Discounts cannot be refunded once a purchase is complete. Rakuten Kobo Inc. reserves the right to change or cancel the offer at any time.

So I guess we only get it if we buy a new device?

It is a physical bookmark, with the code printed on it. I used it on a purchase. You have to purchase a book higher in price than $10 for it to work.

[ottdmk]

Oh, so you go to Chapters, get a bookmark, and it's good for $10 off any e-book worth $10 or more?

I like it! There's a Chapters pretty close to me, I shall have to stop in soon.

Correct!

Kobo misses me and have sent this 50% off code HLKT5P. I haven't tested it in case it that invalidates it, nor have I been sent this number before. However, as regulars know that does not mean it will work.

[Fuba]

Kobo misses me too! According to the description it might be a one time use per user code. No mention of country restrictions, it is from an Australian account however.

promo code 50% off: W4DJNC

Offer valid until 17 November 2016. Each registered user may use the promotional code for one eBook purchase, on select eBook titles only.

Thank you very much! I was able to use this code for 50% off from New Jersey, USA.

I used it on a Baen book. These are usually "coupon eligible."
