They've done that before. I tried it too and got the same thing. I gotta say that I find Audible to be the least customer friendly company that Amazon owns.

One site I particularly like for short titles is Listen to Genius. This is an "imprint" of University Press Audiobooks. It is a collection of short pieces (novel excerpts, short stories, letters, and poetry) from classic authors and thinkers, and "read by award-winning audiobook narrators." I've tried several entries and found them quite good; maybe there is something here that will whet your appetite for more.

Thanks for that find. I haven't seen them before. I love short stories, so it looks promising. I'll add a link in the OP.

BTW everyone, Sync's first offer is just 5 weeks away

Well, I'll try the next deal sometime before it expires unless they expire it early as well.

I already tried and it didn't work. I only use these offer to collect the Dune series. So far, I have 13 of the 18 published to date.

I don't currently have a membership, but I see the counter. One book to go. Once I hit four books, I'll take a screenshot as evidence if I don't get the credit.

Frequently, offers are a YMMV proposition. What works for one person might not work for another. Consistency is not Audible's strong suit.

There's a current Amazon Local deal for two free months, expiration date is April 26.

That's the one he was referring to in post 2075.

Give Audible a call and explain the situation to them. Does the promo show on Audible's home page when you log in?

Audible -- 1-888-283-5051

I did a customer service chat - they were very nice and said I already had 3 purchases towards the promo. They will even check in May to make sure I get the coupon!

I have gold and sometimes see the box and other times don't. If you have a slow connection or Audible is busy, the javascript apparently times out.

I hate to disagree with the venerable tubemonkey, but apparently someone with the Listener Light Plan is not able to take advantage of this deal. I have the Listener Light Plan. Even though when I went to a page (https://www.audible.com/mt/LR_April14) telling me about the deal and at the top of the page it said hello to me (it used my name and everything!), when I called Audible a little while ago they told me that no, in fact, I was not eligible. When I looked over, again, the details (there aren't many) of the plan it seemed apparent that Listener Lighters would not be eligible for it.
