I mentioned in other posts that my original question was not clear. Here is my situation. I cannot use coupon codes (both non-contest and contest codes) in Canada to buy books from the big 6. So I traveled to India etc and was able to use coupon codes to buy books from the big 6 in India etc previously. Now, it looks like Kobo no longer allows coupon codes to be used in India etc.
Unfortunately you are correct. Contest codes only work in the country store where the coupon code was "won", i.e. if you are playing the contest in the US store, the code can only be redeemed in the US store. The loophole of being able to use contest codes (especially on books by the big 6) by traveling to India, etc. has been closed

A question. Are the codes that people put up one time use? I tried all the 45% codes that Apesmom put up on some Openroadmedia books and not one worked. I've successfully used 35% coupons on them before, so I'm just wondering.

Thanks.

Yes. Codes from the contest are one time use. So first come, first lucky
People are posting what they won't use themselves.

The 55% has gone. I still have three 45% off codes looking for a home.

[EDIT: Now all gone.]

I purchased a book at Kobo that wouldn't download -a self published DRM free epub. It gave me the "Oops..." error. Called customer service and the rep couldn't download it either. He placed the title in their "Bad Book List" and promptly gave me a refund.

I notified the author by email of the problem and repurchased the book from B&N without an issue.

It sounds like you are in US. If I am in US, I will buy from booksamillion.com because I noticed their eBooks are discounted or are cheaper than those from Amazon.com.
I just looked at booksamillion and they are cheaper than Amazon and Google and of course they are cheaper than Kobo since coupons can't be used. Thanks! They are standard ADE for the big publishers, right?

The author responded. He thanked me and said he would look into it. He gave me a short story in appreciation. He was able to replicate the problem and seemed upset with Kobo.

Well, sometimes it's our fault (doesn't pass epub checker, but that is not always clear) and sometimes it's something Kobo does. It's a partnership, but I've found that it pays to check and double-check. We're always grateful to readers who write to let us know there is a problem!!!

He didn't know where the problem lies. He has a promotion active and maybe that is the cause? In any case, I've spent way too much time on this. He's the one earning six figures.

He'll probably never know. I've worked on a couple of problems and sometimes it gets fixed and no one bothered to tell me how or why. In the end, you just have to be glad it was fixed!!
