KOBO gift cards by market

About KOBO

KOBO is a major eBook and audiobook retailer, known for its eReaders and free reading apps. A KOBO gift card lets recipients buy digital reading content from a catalogue of millions of titles. It suits businesses rewarding people who read, whether for personal growth or professional development.

GIFQ offers KOBO cards in three distinct markets: Canada in Canadian dollars, the United States in US dollars, and New Zealand in New Zealand dollars. Each market operates as its own card, with amounts, currency, and redemption rules set per country. A card bought for one market cannot be used in another, so choose the market that matches each recipient's location.

For specific details, see the individual market pages. For example, Canadian and US cards allow any amount between $10 and $250 in their local currencies, while New Zealand cards come in fixed amounts of $10, $25, or $50 NZD. All KOBO cards from GIFQ have no expiry date.

Businesses use KOBO through GIFQ to pay out earnings, incentives, or compensation to people in these countries. It works well for remote teams, research participants, loyalty rewards, or customer thank-yous. You can send cards in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time through the API, in each recipient's local currency.

When recipients are spread across Canada, the US, and New Zealand, you can manage all three KOBO markets from one GIFQ account. This keeps a single program for different countries while ensuring each person gets a card they can actually use.

Choose the card’s market first

This is the brand’s overview page. The options above are products for different markets; open one to review the details that apply to your order.

  1. Start with where it will be redeemed

    Choose the option for the country where the card will be used. Each listing has its own redemption coverage, making it easier to find the right product for recipients in different markets.

  2. Compare values and conditions

    Currencies, denominations and terms can differ between products from the same brand. Review each market page and its instructions before deciding your selection or calculating the program budget.

  3. Organize orders by product

    For a program covering several countries, prepare the product, market, value and quantity needed for each group. Confirm your account pricing and delivery flow before moving from a test to a larger order.

  4. Decide who chooses the brand

    With a direct order, your business selects the card. If you would rather let each recipient choose, explore recipient-choice payouts and confirm the products supported for your program.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries can I send KOBO gift cards to through GIFQ?

GIFQ offers KOBO cards for Canada, the United States, and New Zealand. Each market has its own card issued in the local currency: Canadian dollars, US dollars, or New Zealand dollars.

Can a KOBO card bought for one country be used in another?

No. KOBO cards are market-specific. A Canadian card works only on the Canadian Kobo store, a US card only on the US store, and a New Zealand card only on the New Zealand store. They are not interchangeable.

How do I choose the right KOBO market for a recipient?

Choose the market that matches the recipient's country of residence. KOBO requires a local account for each store, so a person in Canada needs the Canadian card, someone in the US needs the US card, and someone in New Zealand needs the NZ card.

Where can I find the available amounts and expiry for each KOBO market?

Check the individual market pages on GIFQ: Kobo Canada, KOBO USA, and Kobo New Zealand. They list the currency, minimum and maximum amounts, whether amounts are flexible or fixed, and expiration terms. All KOBO cards have no expiry.

What kinds of recipients are KOBO gift cards good for?

KOBO cards work well for employees, customers, research participants, and partners who read eBooks or listen to audiobooks. They are a practical reward for professional development, milestone bonuses, or casual reader appreciation.

Can I send KOBO cards in bulk or as part of a payout program through GIFQ?

Yes. You can send KOBO cards in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard or one at a time through the API. This lets you run payouts, incentives, or reward programs across Canada, the US, and New Zealand from a single account.
