Amazon Prime Day is coming up again, and Audible is offering Prime members a free 3-month trial that includes 3 audiobook credits. This offer is targeted but should be widely available to Prime member unless you’ve had an Audible trial within the last year or so (I just did one in February 2024 and it did not work).
You will receive 1 audiobook credit each month for 3 months (3 free book credits in total). Audible usually only offers a 1-month free trial, and otherwise costs $14.95/per month for 1 audiobook per month.
(Note that I am an Amazon affiliate and Amazon doesn’t let me put links in e-mails, so you may have to visit the original post to see all the links. Thank you.)
My favorite feature of these Audible trials is that once you get a book, it is yours “forever”. You can go back an listen whenever you want, even if you membership is not active. Additional features include the ability to swap out and exchange audiobooks if you don’t like it after listening for a bit, and 30% off the list price of additional audiobooks. You can even have Alexa read your audiobook to you.
Upon completion of your 3-month trial, your subscription will autorenew at the standard rate of $14.95/month (unless cancelled). However, you can cancel online and hassle-free at any time before your trial ends and still receive the full benefits through the end of the trial period. I would do this first thing, and then you can always change your mind and opt back in if you want to keep your subscription.
Over the years, I’ve collected every single Harry Potter audiobook in the series via such offers. Great for kiddo bedtime reading. I’ve also redeemed previous credits for Shoe Dog (Nike origin story, my review), When Breathe Becomes Air, I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons from Kevin Hart, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life.
