G'day all
Like others, I found that the discount codes mentioned by others
wouldn't work for me in Australia but, after a bit of online searching
I think I've found a work around. It seems to have worked for me in
Australia - it may work in other countries as well.
The trick is to do the transaction in US dollars.
On the order page for the annual, if you scroll down to the bottom
right you'll see a drop down box where you can select to carry out the
transaction in US dollars rather than your local currency (choose
"Blurb United States"). Once you've done that you'll find that the
discount code "UNIVERSITY25" will work.
A disconcerting feature of Australian orders is that Blurb is now
charging Goods and Services Tax. This is something new and adds 10%
to the quoted cost of the annual for Australian buyers. Strangely,
the tax is added even if you make the purchase in US dollars and the
amount charged is more than 10%. I'm not sure what's going on with
this but even with PayPal's skewed exchange rate for USD/AUD, I've
still come out ahead by using US dollars for the transaction (I
think.....)
