Last call. You still want Audible cheap. Good. The clock is ticking on this offer, which is why you need to pay attention right now.
We’re past the halfway mark of the year. If that January reading resolution feels like a punch to the gut, this might be the oxygen you need.
Here is the setup: New members can grab Audible Standard for $0.99 a month for the first three times it charges your card. That is less than a coffee. More importantly, it saves you roughly 80% off the normal rate.
On top of the cheap entry, Amazon throws in a $20 credit. You can spend that on any audiobook. It gets emailed to you right after you sign up.
How it works, essentially:
– Pick one book each month.
– Keep it. Always. Even if you cancel.
– No contract. Cancel whenever you want.
There’s a catch, of course. After those three pennies-worth-of-a-month pass, the bill jumps to the regular price. Currently that is $8.99. It happens automatically if you don’t hit cancel.
Why does it matter that books stick? Because once you buy them—whether with the $20 bonus credit or your own cash—they are yours. They live in your library forever. You lose access to the free monthly pick and member-only titles, but your purchases remain.
Why bother? Why not just buy them normally? The $0.99 price is hard to argue with when you are starting out. You get the credit, you get the books, you keep the books. It is a steal, provided you remember to turn it off.
This doesn’t last. The deadline is July 15. If you want the discounted rate, you move before then.
What do you listen to while commuting anyway?
