Something new:

"Password must be at least 6 characters long, and contain number, uppercase and lowercase letter."

Well..that certainly makes things a bit tedious.
I was able to use a password with letters and numbers only. Also though I'm in the U.S. the contest link only had options for UK and Canada addresses. I registered with a random London postal code.

I've verified that one of the codes I got worked in the U.S. Kobo store. Here it is (30% off) in case anyone wants to check if it can be used more than once (once per account): 223HP2

I just tried to register for the contest, but it's making me choose my country. The only options are UK or Canada. I'm in the US. Um?

That happened to me when I followed the link on this page. When I went to kobo through my browser, it gave only the US as a country choice.

From being an associate I can tell you that sometimes they do have different lists of books on sale/pages depending on country. So go there your normal route and it should work okay. I think this is the first time they've done it this way for a contest, but I know when I link to certain sales from my blog, I have to do two sometimes--one for Canada, for example and another for other.

It's all messed up, again! In new and exciting ways...

I've tried the usual address, contest.kobo.com in IE and Firefox, and I only get the UK and Canada options.

I followed this link:

https://www.kobo.com/contest?name=af...ontent=Banner1

from the Kobo website, and got the US option (and only that). BUT after I filled out the form and the captcha and clicked "Continue".... nothing. Tried again, again.... nothing.

When I tried to register for the contest using Firefox, my only country choices were UK and Canada, but when I tried using Chrome, my only choice was US. This is on the same PC (in the US).

I also had to change the password I've previously used for contests to meet the new password requirements. I had more problems with the captcha too, but I eventually got one I could decipher.

After all that work, all I got was a lousy 20%.

I only got 25 percent. There are two different links for the pages. I only have associate links for my blog though and I know the code in there, but if I take just that out to post the correct links here, is that all I need to do to make the work right? If someone can tell me what to take out, I can post the two different links.

I WAS typing it in to my browser (FF). I even cleared the cache. But thanks to the suggestion here I went to Kobo's website and found a link there to the contest (carefully tucked away all the way at the bottom of the page), and that's worked.

sigh. The url change for the U.S. contest and new password requirements mean I have to resave all my email addresses and passwords. And yet they're still not requiring valid email addresses. lol Kobo.

Have we confirmed that the codes are single use?

I just tried 223HP2 in the US store and it didn't work. A fresh (ten percent!) code from the contest did (or would have, if I had confirmed the purchase).

I think codes are single use.
