If you want to try, registering through this link you will get two free months, instead of the usual offer of just one (and I get an additional one free, also; I don't know if this kind of promotion is allowed here. If not, I apologise and please feel free to delete my post):

I wouldn't think they could do that if it were exclusive to members. |

FWIW, the only possible exception to that, that I know of, is with a Whispersync Deal.
I am an "Inactive Lighter" (Arrgggh. I still hate that moniker!). That is not a credit membership. Up until October 1, however, we could get the Daily Deal, by itself, for the same price as the credit members. Well, that has gone the way of the dinosaurs, the carrier pigeon, the dodo bird . . . . you get the idea.
The following has limited application, I know. But over the years I've noticed that, with a WS Deal on an Amazon Kindle ebook, I can buy the audio portion, _at Audible_, as long as it on the same day, for what the price is of the Daily Deal _that day_. I am all but certain that I have seen one or more instances of that since September 30. Furthermore, I don't think that this is exclusive to members.
The fly in the ointment is that if you have no interest in the ebook, it might not be worth the price that you have to pay for the WS Deal, in order to get the Daily Deal price on the audio.
The straightforward answer to your questions: technically, you can get the Daily Deal price, through a WS Deal. And, I didn't cover this above, but if you do want the WS Deal, you get it the same way that everyone has to: you go to the _ebook's_ webpage _at Amazon_ and request the "audible narration." A stop at Audible is pointless (unless you buy the ebook _within hat same day_ (Amazon and Audible both go by Pacific Time)).
