It expires on 3/25. Not sure if it's open to everyone or just those who were emailed, but here's the link CS gave us:

Seems like a good deal if you happen to be in the market for what if offers, which my wife happened to be, so we took advantage. She had an existing membership so we had to call CS to get her upgraded and get the promos applied.

Then he reinstated my previous credits. So the upshot is that I lost time on my membership but I don't lose any credits, so that's fine with me.
The $50 off an Echo device needs to be used in 14 days. I was more interested in getting the Audible discount than another Dot, but, hey, free is free.

I have an "InactiveListener" (I hate that term. Arrghh! I am quite active, thank you, very much. Amazon/Audible ought to see my credit card statements each month, where there is an "Amazon" or "Audible" on nearly every other line. What was wrong with "Listener Light"??? But, I digress) membership. I didn't see the offer among my emails, but I did see it on the webpage using the link that ApK gave us.
Interestingly, when I went to the webpage, there was a quick flash of another webpage; It appeared and left so fast that couldn't tell if it was an Audible one, but I would think that it would have had to have been. I'm thinking that if everyone doesn't get the offer, Audible must have targeted the offer to only certain peeps. If so, I'm curious as to what the criteria are/were for peeps to have gotten the offer.
The offer is a tempting one; but between the Great Courses' and Audible's, and a smattering of other companies' audiobooks that I have, I've got more than I could listen to for the rest of my life.
That is no exaggeration!
