Kobo Discounts: Coupon Codes + Discussion

[GeekyGirl]

Thanks for posting the codes. I haven't bought a Kobo book in quite a while, but there is a book that's priced at $19.99 and I refuse to pay that price for an ebook, so I wanted to try the code to see if it would work with this book. If I "buy" the book, I'm assuming that I should see a place to enter the discount code before the final purchase step, but I don't see it. I tried entering a code in the "gift card" section, but much as I had thought, it doesn't work there.

Can someone tell me where to enter the code?

Thanks!

If the discount codes work on this book in your location, the Gift Cards section would also mention and accept the discount codes.

Since it doesn't, this book can't have a discount applied to it.

I did a write-up of the steps with screenshots over on my blog if anything is unclear.

You might want to check Europe for Hatchette, they were discountable.

Thanks for sharing the codes eveyone, and thanks Kobo for allowing the codes to be redeemed outside of the country they were issued :-)
