Platinum member - monthly
$22.95 / 2 credits
I don't really notice the special deals - but there isn't anything that's been posted here that I wasn't available to participate in if I wanted (except for special pricing for new memberships)

...oops - I meant offers

...and thanks

AudibleListener Light. No credit deals even with 3 credits on my account.

The 25% banner says it's off the member price and the 40% banner says it's off the regular price, so there isn't really a difference. Sycamore Row shows a sale price of $18.20 for both accounts, for example.

Currently I'm a Gold Monthly member (at half price from a recent offer) and have the 25% off the member price banner and my husband is an AudibleListener Light $9.95 annual member and has the 40% off the regular price banner.

The big difference for sales between the above two plans is that the AudibleListener Light plan doesn't work for any specials that involve credits and there is no reduced member price for audiobooks.

Interesting... I'm a "Not Enrolled" member and have the 25% banner.

Do you see member prices for audiobooks? AudibleListener Light doesn't, only regular prices.

I'm in the first month of my free trial (Gold Monthly) and I have the 25% off banner. Planning to cancel in a few days and hopefully get offered the $9.95/year plan.

If they don't offer it when you cancel, email them and ask for it.

Platinum Member - Monthly

$22.95/mo 2 credits

I usually seem to get most promotions, except sometimes the ones directly tied to the number of credits you have, when I have too few or too many credits.

I have two accounts.

One really old one that I don't use anymore. It says Membership Status Not Enrolled. I have no sale banner. The cost of books show at full value.

The second account is the one I use. This one month I am a AudibleListener® Platinum Monthly member with a cost of 22.95/month for two credits. I see the current sale banner of 25% off. I signed up for this for one month as a bridge to see if Audible has another gift membership sale like they did last year in December. They had annual gift gold memberships on sale for $120/yr for 12 credits, so $10/credit. I gifted myself a membership! LOL With that plan, I seemed to get every sale there was. If I can't get a good sale, when this month's membership is up, I will change to the AudibleListener® Platinum Annual at $229.50/yr for 24 credits at $9.56/credit. I rarely buy just one book with one credit. I wait for sales and get at least 3 books for two credits, if not better.

Now for more information than you wanted to know. I use libraries first. However, I can't always find the books that I or my husband want, so they go on my wish list and wait for a sale. There is one exception to the library first rule. If there is an author that one or both of us really like and read a lot of, I will occasionally buy one of their books when on sale, even if available at a library. I do believe that a worker is due his money. If all everyone ever did was read books for free from a library, I'm guessing we would have a lot less authors. There was a long period in our life, when buying any book was just not possible, all books came only from the library. Now we are in a better financial condition, so I feel that I should buy some and also donate to libraries.

Another interesting bit. Same membership status as me; yet I see a 25% banner.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the date these plans went into effect? When did you two get that status? I went from Gold to Not Enrolled in Dec 2011.
