It's a shame Audible shuns those of us who buy a-la-carte. It is that (and the DRM) that keeps me buying mostly from other sites.

I don't have one of the credit plans and I get these offers. I initially signed up for a free 30-day trial. Then I converted it to a 6 month Kindle Special Offer promo. When that ended, I cancelled my membership. Evidently, I still have some type of membership (probably the Basic plan); but don't pay anything, nor do I get any credits.
Audible lists 4 types of membership:
- Gold Membership Plan: $11.47~$14.95 per credit
- Platinum Membership Plan: $9.56~$12.46 per credit
- AudibleListener Light: no credits, but ~$10 fee per year
- Basic Membership Plan: no credits, no fees

The AudibleListener Light Plan is available only on an annual basis and only to Gold Members and Platinum Members who want to downgrade their plan type. AudibleListener Light Plan members do not receive Membership Credits (defined below) but a Gold Member or Platinum Member converting to the AudibleListener Light Plan may have AudibleListener Rollover Credits that they can rollover when they downgrade. If you downgrade to the AudibleListener Light Plan, each year, on the yearly renewal date, Audible will charge your credit card the yearly plan fee.

The Basic Membership Plan is available only to existing Basic Members. The Basic Membership is no longer available to current AudibleListener Members. Any changes to the Basic Membership Plan will be communicated to existing Basic Members by Audible via email.
