Requires newsletter sign-up and, based on past offers, probably requires a Facebook account. The blurb says the offer ends September 30, 2014 at 10:59 AM ET, but I suspect they meant to say August 30.

Thanks for the heads up. You suspected right, it's only a 24 hour deal.

Random House Audiobooks Hi Everyone! Please note that this free giveaway is only for 24 hours and ends Aug 30th at 10:59 AM ET.

Since this offer required a Facebook account, I finally decided to create one; but what a pain. First I had to create a fake email address to use for my fake Facebook account. Now that they're both set up, I can take advantage of these offers from here on out.

Unless they send you fake offers.

Free Coupon for Two Months of Audiobooks from Audible

• Claim Offer by 29 Aug 2014
• Redeem Offer by 12 Sep 2014
  

Sorry for the very short notice on this offer, but I just discovered it at Amazon Local. I scan it frequently looking for book offers and it wasn't there. Today, I scanned it while signed out of Amazon and it was there. Evidently, Amazon filters out offers you're not eligible for (and I'm not eligible for this offer). In the future, I plan to scan it while signed out.

It's for new members only, again.

It was literally less than 2 minutes before midnight EST when I saw your post. I didn't have time to read to see if the end was EST, PST, or something else. I hurriedly followed the link and, for some reason, Audible let me sign up, even though I am a member (ListenerLight). There were just seconds to spare. I felt so proud of myself for catching the offer before it expired! Then, I saw the "new members" only condition ....

The confirmation page said that Audible would send me a confirmation by email, also. It will be interesting to see if they catch their boo-boo. If they do, I'm going to cancel, right away, for ethical reasons mainly. Too, it looked like one of these "if you don't cancel by such-and-such date, we'll charge your credit card for $_________" deals. I just signed up for a month of Amazon Prime on that basis and one monkey on my back is enough (I've got to remember to cancel that before Sept. 22. Arrghh!).

It's PT and there's still 2.5 hours left to claim a coupon. You then have until 12 Sep to redeem that coupon. These offers always say for new members only, yet Audible still lets some current non-credit and former members sign up. You just don't know until you try. Also, you have to cancel before the trial period is up or you will be charged.

Question for you. Did you actually go to Audible and enter a coupon code? These Amazon Local offers involve two steps. The first one is to claim the coupon; and anyone can claim it, even people who don't qualify. The second step is to redeem that coupon at Audible which involves entering your coupon code. This step determines your eligibility.

...egads, since I used fake to get the book, maybe they sent me a fake dolphin book. I'll end up listening to several episodes of that 60's show, Flipper

Thanks for the information. What you said may very well explain how I was able to do it.

Yes, after I rushed to accept the offer before midnight EST, I noticed that the cut-off time was midnight PST. I could have procrastinated another 4 hours! What a waste! ha

No, I haven't entered the coupon code at Audible yet. I noticed that I got the confirmation in an email, though. It's way too late at night now, so I'll have to look at it tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

Maybe I could hang on to the trial membership until the two months is over. Those two free audiobooks sound awfully tempting . . . .

Ack! Now I've got that theme song for Flipper running through my head! I'll never get to sleep!

If they send you a fake dolphin book, I'm sure that they wouldn't have done it on porpoise.

In case you forget when you wake up

Awesome!! I just came here to post something while thinking at the back of my mind that it should be in its own separate thread, and I see this announcement. So psyched about this!

Keep in mind that the new audiobook forum has two sub-forums; so post accordingly.

Everything Audiobooks

• Audiobook Discussions
• Audiobook Issues
