Kobo Super Points program changing
I received an email from Kobo that the Super Points program is changing. If you have Super Points and wish to continue earning and using them, you will need to purchase a VIP membership by 2022-Sep-19. Otherwise, you will no longer earn points and will need to use your existing points by 2023-Aug-19. They are offering a code 50VIP to save 50% on the cost of the VIP membership.

Not seeing anything like that in my mailbox. Checked my Kobo points page too and there's nothing like it showing. But I'm a VIP member so maybe it's only a non-member thing?

I have nothing, either, in my mailbox.

I do, however, have a VIP membership. (Wasn't it 10 bucks?)

I didn't get one either. It seems likely that if the the crux of the message is "no points unless VIP" there's no point in sending it to VIPs

I did get it in one of three accounts I have. None have VIP and I believe two have points or have at least earned and spent points prior to now.

So having VIP is only part of the mystery of not getting a notification about this.

All three accounts are US based and as much the same as they can be aside from purchases.

I received an email, it's rather different to David's (no VIP code for me) but it does have the following link:
https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/7699806982039

From reading the article it seems that it is for Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and United Kingdom based accounts.

Although the United States isn’t listed, it’s hard to see why we won’t be included with this. Perhaps changes will come another month around the corner?

I never saw superpoints awarded unless you are a VIP member first?

VIP members get more points for the same purchase as regular members.

Edit: perhaps that should now be got since the program is changing.
