Alright, QVC finally posted the offer details. It's not anywhere near as good as their offer from a few days ago. The Music Unlimited offer remains the same, but the Audible offer was drastically changed.

Instead of vouchers for 3 free Audible books, the offer is now the standard free 2 month trial for new customers only. Boo

Still, the $75 (or $70 for new QVC shoppers) price tag is the lowest price a new Echo has sold for.

Well, that makes it a bit less compelling. I may wait for the new Echo, then.

However, I encourage purchasers to try the Audible offer anyway.
When my wife get her Fire recently, I was surprised to find the the enclosed Audible offer worked for her, since we are "repeat offenders" and no other trial offer had recently.

Maybe the deal with buying a device is different than a typical trial offer?

I suppose I could start a new audible account if it turns out to be a trial offer thing.

We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
Refurbs are still available, but priced quite high at $130.
Echos are back in stock and priced at $180 (full price). Refurbs are now priced at $80.

Thanks, that makes me even happier knowing my Wand will control all playback functions

I'm strong, I'm still resisting. If I knew absolutely, positively that I would be able to use the Audible credits, though, I'd crumble.

But isn't it just as easy--and quicker--to press a button on a remote control?

Easy is in the eye of the beholder. Quicker depends on how far away the remote is. But the main point is that I got a Dot to control things with my voice. Period.

"The Clapper" is probably just as easy--as well as quicker (and cheaper)--to use to turn off my lights, but I prefer to tell Alexa to do it.
