Rakuten apparently stopped allowing non Rakuten sponsored codes about a month ago, from reports posted by the Nippon members.

So it seems their only current option is to use VPN to gain access to the kobobooks.com site.

EDIT: oops not much apparently, they appear to have just sold out. boo sorry.

I went back a couple of days' posts, but I didn't see anything about this: PERKOPOLIS appears to be dead. The coupon and discount site Retailmenot.com (http://retailmenot.com) says that only 34% of attempts to use it "today" were successful.

The highest % code that I could find to work was a measly 20%, one (I only tried one, the other two may work also) of the three posted by BuyMore a few posts back.

I was going to use PERKOPOLIS, or a higher code if I could find one, on a $1.99 book. A 20% discount is only 40 cents, and I'd rather have Kindle mobi anyway, so I'm going to go buy it from them (it's $1.99 there also).

Thanks to ya'll who post the codes!

Huh? PERKOPOLIS still works for me. I'm buying in Malaysia (International store), old checkout.

How about those comeback codes? Anything works for you?

Edit: I mean these :

PERKOPOLIS is still working here, I just used it a few minutes ago.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the 34% success rate, the other 66% probably tried to use it on a non-discountable book.

Just got this from Kobo email:

Can't test it because not on PC (sending from phone)

If it's like the other times they've sent out that code over the years it's for a specific list of books linked to in the email.

[Lynx-lynx]

Yeah - except I couldn't see the link. There are books in the email but I'd have to go onto the PC in order to see them. (And that won't be tonight)

I just tried save90bk on a book I know is discountable and was greeted with "Invalid promo code" PERKOPOLIS worked brilliantly though.

Same here. I tried on few different books and publishers and I got same msg as you.

If anyone can't get PERKOPOLIS to work, I've just been sent a 30% off unlimited code for this weekend (ends Monday): 30UNLIMITED

[peterwardgd]

yep i posted 30UNLIMITED yesterday but i think it only applies to certain books from what i can work out.

I am not able to use the code either. Really curious which books are applicable for the 90% discount. Somehow I'm doubtful anything in my wishlist is eligible.

This is the list for the same 90% off code from a few months ago: http://store.kobobooks.com/List/Get9...WE2OH9iWV93LNA

I don't remember if it's the same list, but the code works.

Good old Kobo. Not only does the book selection on that list vary from country from country, but the price for an individual title might vary greatly from country to country as well.

For example, Parade's End is priced at $13.09 in the US, £3.35 in the UK, 3.79 € in France, and (drum roll please) RS 127.00 in India. Choose wisely, folks.
