But. My last price-match was in February and it seems as if this program has been nerfed as well.

I had had no problems. Perhaps we can gather reports in one place.

Something that one friend of mine was whinging about. If you purchase a book on Kobo and use Buy Now button, it does not use store credit to pay for the book whereas Add to Cart does. Personally, I always use the Add to Cart button since one of my major complaints about Amazon's ebooks is that your only choice is One Click so there is no way to add them to a cart and purchase multiple books in one transaction.

I didn't know this! But then I always add my purchases to the cart.

I knew that but never thought about it since I use the Add to Cart button. Since I had one friend who didn't know that until they had 6 separate charges show up on their credit card instead of using store credit to pay for their purchases.

Use PayPal though, if it makes difference.

Also I notice Kobo still use 15% sales tax. Nova Scotia dropped to 14% on 04/01.

Not sure if PayPal would make a difference. I reported it to Kobo and the promise to bounce it to the relevant people was made.

I always use Buy Now, and it uses any store credit I have. It has been a bit since I had store credit to spend though.

Through the Kobo app, it does not give me the option to use my store credit. I have to go to the website itself to purchase with my credit.

That's because purchasing through the app uses Google's billing system rather than Kobo's. They do mention this on the website.

For what it may be worth, I've attached partial images of two receipts that Kobo emailed me. One was a book purchased using the Buy Now and the other was using Add to Cart.

I'm very glad I've always used add to cart

I've added a note to the first post.

Don't think its correct in all circumstances. Buy It Now deducts store credit for me. I think as I use PayPal, but maybe something different.
