Perhaps, you misspelled perkopolis when checking out? I just tried it and it gave me 10% off.

The books I tried to buy were all eligible for discount codes (tried it with 3 different books and it just did not work on any of them). Very frustrating!
That happened to me this year - the birthday promo code they sent me didn't work.
However, since there was a contest on around that time, and I got codes higher than the birthday code was for, I didn't bother about contacting customer service.

My bad, I was checking the coupon on indigo chapters rather than kobobooks.com.

$20 off on an Aura H2O, just for today from Chapters. I'd been lurking, just waiting for something to push me into replacing my failing first gen Kobo Glo. This has done it. It is only for today, July 20th, though. Something new, of a technology angle, will be on sale tomorrow, or so it looks to me.

[Edit] Not sure that this should go here, now that I'm looking.

I have multiple KOBO accounts. I have an account for romance books and a different one for professional books. My husband and 2 children each have their own accounts.

Can I do the VISA check promo out in each of these accounts with the same credit card?

I've done it before a few times with the same card (I think it was a $5 credit or smth like that), but I can't vouch for this one. You can certainly try and find out.

Tried to do the new Visa Checkout so I could get the $10 credit. But because I already have a giftcard balance, kept getting the message "Your purchase is covered — thanks! You don't need to enter your payment information at this time."

So, after the credit in my account showed up in a day or so, the credit in my husband's account took a week to show up. Gotta wonder what sort of system they are using to process these! Anyway, it DID eventually show up...

My credit also showed up today - pretty speedy for Kobo!

I have just now tried the same thing with my husband's account, and again, I had to try twice. I have now figured out, though, what I think is happening.

The first time when I hit the Visa Checkout button, it took me to the Visa Checkout sign-in pop-up window, I logged in (since he also has a pre-existing Visa Checkout account), and then it took me to the Kobo "buy" page. However, at the top, there was no card listed. So when I clicked on the green "complete purchase" button, it gave the same old error message.

Then I deleted the book out of the "buy" page, returned to Kobo home, and tried to buy the book again. This time, his credit card showed up at the top as a payment method, and, although there was nothing that I saw that indicated this was a Visa Checkout card, that's the only way it could have gotten there, since I had deleted out his other payment options before starting the process. And this time the sale went through.

This is the same procedure I followed with my account, although I didn't notice the absence or presence of a card listed at the top of the "buy" page when I did that one. And, as I said above, that account now has the $10 credit in it as of this morning.

So, it somehow seems to be connected to having to cycle through twice - maybe once to get logged in to Visa Checkout, and then a second time, so Kobo picks up the info and gets it into their system. Perhaps this only happens if you have a pre-existing Visa Checkout account, but in any case, this method has now worked twice, at least for the purchase of the book, in two different Kobo accounts, with two different Visa Checkout accounts.

My fingers are now crossed that my husband also gets the credit in his account - and I'll get to spend it

And karma to Purple Lady for the "do it twice" suggestion!
