Kobo coupon questions
Six questions people actually ask us.
How much is the Kobo student discount and who qualifies?
Students verified by UNiDAYS get 30% off an individual eBook or audiobook valued at $40 or less, from the titles listed on Kobo's promo-redeem page. The code is unique to each user and has no transferable cash value.
When does the Kobo student discount code expire?
The Kobo student offer states that its code expires on December 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM EST.
Can I apply more than one Kobo gift card to a single order?
Only one physical retail partner gift card can be applied per purchase on Kobo. Gift cards cannot be applied to devices, accessories or pre-orders.
Why does Kobo show several charges on my card for one shopping session?
If you buy multiple items on Kobo in one session, your order may be authorized and billed in gradual increments as you click Buy Now. This can appear as multiple orders and billings on your payment card statement.
What discount does Kobo offer on corporate eGift Card orders?
Kobo's corporate eGift Card discounts are 3% for orders of $5,000 to $9,999 CAD, 5% for $10,000 to $24,999 CAD, 8% for $25,000 to $49,999 CAD, and 10% for $50,000 CAD or more. Kobo sends an invoice within 2 to 3 business days, and the eGift Cards are emailed once payment is confirmed.
Are unused Kobo audiobook subscription credits refundable?
No. Kobo will not offer refunds on audiobook subscription credits, which have no cash value and are non-transferable. After you cancel, you have 6 months to spend unused credits before they expire, and an account can hold a maximum of 24 credits.
