Quite a contrast from Amazon's constant ads for KU or Prime.

Skydog,

Across the top of my page [International, US, or Canada] I see a list of pull-down menus: ebooks, Audiobooks, Kobo Plus, APPS & eReaders, Super Points.

Info on VIP is under the "Super Points" menu. It doesn't appear if I'm not logged in. I'm not currently a VIP, but have accumulated points from when I was so maybe it only appears in that context.

As for emails, I've checked the "yes please" box under "Account Settings" and am inundated with their emails, some of which are VIP related.

VIP isn't worth $10 unless you spend a ton every year. I come out ahead when it's only $5. The 'free book' you get with membership is from a woefully small list comprised mostly of romance novels.

MYPERK30 just worked in for me again (Canada), so I have no idea what the limit is on this code. Last time was May 7th

Get 20% off your next title, apply promo code TBXRQT at checkout
One time use I assume for my 'anniversary'.

I have 50% off codes that expired but I've used expired codes in the past that worked so it's worth a shot.

The normal disclaimers apply ... only on select titles, blah blah, yada yada.

I got an expired notice when I tried.

Another code which may or may not work to get 25% off select titles, eBook or audiobook, expiring 6-10-2021, which I assume is June 10.

Thank you! Did it have a list? When I tried it on a book it said the book was not eligible for that promo.

No, no list. This is the fine print: "Each registered user may use the promotional code for one eBook purchase, on select eBook titles only. This offer is not valid in conjunction with any other offer or promotion and cannot be used to adjust amount paid on previous purchases."

However, I have found those codes work with self-published books and not with any of the big publisher books.

I'm wondering if Kobo's tightened up here: I decided to treat myself to another $50 card, and got exactly 0 points. Just by way of a heads up to others who might have been thinking of doing the same.

I was able to use a 50% off a select book coupon code to renew my VIP for half off a couple of weeks ago when I was emailed a code for a book and my VIP had expired. So, if the above codes don't work on a book, try them on a VIP membership.
