But none of the codes I've tried have worked for us lately.
(It's also possible that I've already used all these promotions and just forgot.)

The issue for me, as far as Audible is concerned, is that I got too accustomed to cheap audiobooks. I used to take advantage of OverDrive/Whispersync pricing a lot and I've been on various promotional memberships since last spring. OD/W is dead and I'm at the end of my last promotional deal, but I'm not willing to pay $14.95 per credit going forward. It reminds me of coming to the end of Kobo unlimited coupons and contests; I had adjusted to much cheaper ebooks and I'm still far from having recalibrated my mental price ticker to the new reality.

I think my new strategy will be to buy a Brooklyn OverDrive card; only four audiobooks I can't get elsewhere and I'm already past breakeven, and that's without counting ebooks. Both Kobo and Audible let the good times roll too long to keep me as a serious, steady customer in the near to intermediate term.
