I'm a lite member. I was able to preorder the audiobook, and receive it for _free_. However, I didn't see anywhere where we would receive a $5 credit, either.
The Marketer (academic and professional background) in me is curious about things like this. Why would Audible essentially _give_ someone $5 to take a _free_ audiobook? Sorry to break the news to some of you, but they're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart(s). My best educated guess is that they want people to try the preorder thing (duh), so get acquainted with the idea, have some experience with it, like doing it, and start doing it regularly. Result: $5 well spent by Audible. And, part of this gets a little technical, so suffice it to say that $5 to us actually costs Audible quite a bit _less than_ $5_.
