There's nothing I want in that selection, or I would squawk to Audible.

When I first saw this offer, I thought it applied only to the books listed and I wasn’t interested, but the terms and conditions suggest it applies to any pre-order. Well, if I don’t get the $5, I won’t fuss. Not worth the frustration; while squawking usually (but not always) gets redress, right now I don’t need the stress for $5 which I’d have to augment anyway to pick up a WhisperSync title.
As for Silver, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Audible’s not phasing it out. You had to be in the know anyway to get it. Which could mean they’ll let it run so long as a member stays active, but if they quit, they’ll not be able to re-up later on. This seems to be your concern, also.
It makes an interesting calculation of relative values; the Silver plan with its limitations, where for $28 (I think it’s $30 now; they’ve closed that loophole) you’d get four months with limited access, or the discounted gift cards, where $30 would get you only three months but with full benefits.
