Mine had new questions it never asked before. I still can't redeem anything. I get certificate unavailable in a orange banner. I wonder if they have a set amount of free books codes per day and they are out.

Spoiler:

He lost a wager . . . but won a treasure.

Due to a lost wager, the Duke of Ravenham is obliged to bring a pretty little nobody from the country into fashion among the high-sticklers of London Society. Ravenham would never refuse a debt of honor, no matter how unorthodox, so he overlooks Miss Gordon's vulgar relations to do what is necessary, escorting the unsophisticated chit to balls, etc. But what he expects to be an irksome duty turns out to be something quite different as he falls under the spell of his protege's innocent charm. When he lost that wager, he definitely never counted on losing his heart as well!

First impressions can be deceiving.

Miss Gabriella Gordon only came to London at her mother's and sister's insistence, for she'd much rather assist in running her father's veterinary practice than attempt to fit into fashionable society. No sooner has she arrived in London than the exalted (and exceedingly handsome) Duke of Ravenham comes to call. The reason is less than flattering, however: due to a lost wager, the Duke is forced to bring Gabriella into fashion, a "favor" she would certainly refuse if her family would let her. But the more time she spends in the dashing Duke's company, the more conflicted she feels— particularly when she discovers they have more in common than she ever dared dream.

I just tried and got the same error.

[Blossom]

Thanks. I hope they fix it soon.

Not working for me either. I got a code yesterday but it didn't show up in the box online (like it usually does). I had to get the code from the email message.

I hope it gets fixed soon too!

[goldilocks]

I just successfully redeemed points at Harlequin My Rewards. The only catch is the code is not showing in the box (Says "Redemption Success - Redemption has been successful"). But I got the code in my email. Now I hope it works - it did yesterday.

[Blossom]

Thanks I got it to work too finally! Only 250 more for another book. I am going to have to find me a series or something to buy.

I was able to redeem now.

[Atunah]

I wasn't able to get another 2000 for the profile. I actually never got 2000 for signing up, I only got 300. That was right before they offered 2000 I guess.

I have like 4 codes now, but the issue for me is trying to figure out how to read them if I get the books. It has gotten so frustrating to me to find an app that can read them so I can read them, I am about to give up. I thought I had it with pocket book. But each time I open the app, the books disappear. I am tired of trying to get them back and then figuring out where I was in the book. Covers don't show. They just go randomly poof, along with the books whenever it wants.

When I pull them into overdrive, I can't get full justified, its ragged right in there. Library books are full justified. I cannot read right ragged, and is only one font available to me. Only one serif that is.

There is no point for me to get the books if I can't figure out a way to read them.

Takes all the fun out of the points. How do all of you read those books? Any app that won't keep losing the books and I can get a decent font to read with? I wish they'd give me codes to use on amazon. Never had issues reading kindle books.

Sigh.

Kobo. I really like their quote sharing on Facebook and I can do it with side-loaded books. I store copies on dropbox in case of app failure.

Sigh, I have no kobo and I don't know how to convert drm epubs to kindle format. Not a clue.
No ithingies. I do have Moon pro, but can't figure that one out, so complicated and don't like any of the fonts. Might have to try it again. Don't see Mantano in the store, unless I am blind. Can't read books on a PC with my eyes.

So I guess I'll have to figure out if I can get moon to work again. Seems like my only option
