The 2025 code showed as expired so I used the single 50% code they've ever sent me toward my VIP membership.

Had planned to use it toward a book, but $5 is more than the discount would be on books that accept coupon codes there. Though maybe I should have saved it for an audio book.

The $10 bonus with purchase of a $60 gift card is back again, at least in the US, through 2/16.

The $60 + $10 is my threshhold now, I won't bit if they go back to $70 +$10. I also had to phone them to remind them that the specified 72 hours were nearly up and they still hadn't given me my $10

It's amusing - I'm familiar with Kobo's typical shenanigans - but it's also perplexing that they had no trouble taking your $60, but are slow to process the + $10 that's coming to you.

Were I a complete cynic, I might harbour suspicions that the sluggishness is by design, a test to see who can be bothered asking for the promised freebie. But I'm too simple a soul to be capable of imagining such an upstanding corporate citizen as Kobo could possibly stoop so low

On the + side, because I grumbled, I got a 50% off coupon code in addition to the $10 , and for once it was applicable to a book on my wishlist. I've had worse outcomes from Kobo, for sure.

It looks like I might be buying from Kobo in the future. With my buying volume, I suspect that VIP membership is worth it. Are there any current discount codes for membership?

For all those jumping ship, the current gift card promotion ends February 16. With a gift card bonus of $10/£10 on a purchase of $60/£60, it amounts to a 14% discount on everything, including "price set by publisher" books. Gift card credit can be used to purchase a VIP membership, for which there's no promotion right now. Both promotions recur.

I assume the offer everyone is talking about is the one shown here (in the US):

https://www.kobo.com/us/en/p/giftcards

It's advertised as allowing you to send $60 to another person and get $10 for yourself, but is everyone here just using their own account for both the $60 and the $10 credit?
