I read the fine print, but didn't catch that the ORIGINAL price must be $14.95 or greater. I'm currently on the 3-month free deal that Amazon Local offered a few months back, so I got this freebie and I'll have my second credit sometime later this month... That means two more cheapie audiobooks (perhaps the deal of the day) and I should get the credit.

I've never seen a 2-credit trial deal. I'll search about them but if you have pointers, I'm all ears

The OP has info and links on all sorts of offers and plans; including links to five free audiobooks that will qualify for the $10 credit.

...or the free and $0.99 classics that also qualify.

I've got all the free ones (although this month's free one must have been new). I picked up a few of the 99 cent ones.

Little Women was part of the original free offerings when Amazon first started up the Whispersync program - see here for details.

Army of One by B.V. Larson, a novella in the Star Force series.

This novella in set in the Star Force universe and centers around an assassin trying to avoid interstellar war when the macros (a genocidal race of super robots) launch an airborne attack. Army of One is among the three novellas featured in Planetary Assault, including stories from Vaughn Heppner and David Van Dyke.

“An Army of One” is a free Star Force story from the same universe as SWARM.
Sometimes defending those you love means risking everything and attempting the most dangerous task in the universe: making a planetary assault against a heavily entrenched enemy. It's grim and always ugly. But as long as men refuse to bow their heads to conquerors, they will take the fight to the enemy or die trying.

The original one was a different version, narrated by Kate Reading.

Odd... I didn't have it... Must have missed it originally. Thank goodness for repeats in this case.

Edit: Never mind... I replied before I saw Catlady's post. Which explains why I didn't have this version.

My daughter just checked and she never got hers either.

Today, I received an email for a credit with a link to activate. It says the credit expires today! I'm guessing that this is the email that AnemicOak received when it was due. My friend also got the same email, but my daughter didn't. I think Audible really had a big problem with this offer.

At least you got the offer in the first place! I never did.

My daughter doesn't get many of the Audible offers either. I have to let her know each time I receive an Audible email. If she is interested in the offer, sometimes she can just go to Audible's site and it shows there. If it doesn't, she has to contact Audible and they fix it for her. She has spent several phone calls and a lot of time with Audible support and they can't seem to fix her account to receive the emails. They have no idea what the problem is.

Thanks for the correction. I thought it was one I'd missed. Checking my library, it turns out that I didn't miss it and now have both versions.

ChristianAudio - Free Audiobook for Nov 2013

• In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day - Mark Batterson - exp 30 Nov

“An Old Testament story of uncommon courage inspires this energizing invitation to embrace opportunities that seem terrible or unmanageable. These are often exactly the challenges we need to take our lives to the next level or to boost our capabilities so we'll be ready for the next problem God throws at us. A minister and writer, Batterson goes beyond traditional Christian preaching by promoting imagination and spark in our daily lives. More than just complying and surviving, he wants us to seek more responsibility, act courageously in measured doses, and initiate more satisfying personal discoveries. An engaging and clear speaker, Batterson's vocal optimism seems innocent at first, and one questions his depth. But over time, sincerity and solid thinking predominate to make this an empowering audio. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine”
