Kobo usually ties their gift card bonus offers to a holiday, and there’s a pretty big one coming up 😁. And the gift card offer is a little better this time than the last few times, which were $10 on $60, or even $10 on $70. But this one, which is available through Jan 5, 2025, is $10 on $50, which is a pretty good deal.
From their website:
Offer details:
Limited time offer. Receive a bonus $10 eGift when you send a Kobo eGift of $50 or more. Offer good for one time only per customer. Offer starts December 06, 2024 12:01 AM EST and ends January 05, 2025 11:59 PM EST. You will require a Kobo user account to redeem or send an eGift. Bonus eGift will be emailed to the purchasers Kobo account on file within 72 hours after purchasing the eGift. Rakuten Kobo Inc. reserves the right to change or end this offer at any time without notice.
There is also a similar buy £50 get £10 offer at Kobo UK, and probably at other Kobo stores as well.
It’s also important to note that the $10 or £10 bonus gift card comes to you in a separate email a few days later. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I have ordered gift cards from Kobo like this several times now, and my bonus has always come through, usually shortly after the end of the promotion. In this case, though, since the end of the promotion is quite a ways away, I don’t know if the bonus card might arrive sooner – you’ll just have to keep an eye on your email.
Anyway, here’s the link to the Kobo US gift card page, and also the link to the Kobo UK gift card page. And happy reading!
