How can you tell if you're not qualified? When I tried it, it showed an Order Total: $14.95 for an Audible Gold Membership with no mention of a trial offer. I didn't want to risk going any further than that.

That's exactly what I got. That's one of Audible's ways of telling you that you don't qualify.

BTW, when was the last time you had a free trial offer?

I just came off a free trial, so I really didn't expect to qualify for this one. But, you never know what will happen, so I always try anyway.

I haven't been doing much with audiobooks lately. I did just get an email from Audible with a targeted offer:

Just for you while supplies last. Get a $5 Amazon Credit +2 Free Audible Books

You've been selected to get a $5 Amazon credit when you sign up for a free Audible trial.

Fine Print:

Offer available through August 14, 2018 at 11:59 PT or while supplies last. Valid for U.S. Customers Only. Valid for only customers who have received this invitation email. Customers who have not received this invitation email are not eligible for this offer. Offer is not available to existing Audible members, existing Audible trial users, or customers who have been an Audible Member or trial user in the last 12 months.
...

I'll probably sign up for that. 2 free audiobooks + $10 would have been better, though.

Note: includes free PDF eBook (included in ZIP file)

Short Synopsis
Trapped aboard a fantastic submarine with the deranged Captain Nemo, a French professor and his companions come face-to-face with exotic ocean creatures and strange, forbidden sights hidden from the world above.

Full Synopsis
French professor Pierre Aronnax and his servant join the Abraham Lincoln, an American frigate, on a mission to find and destroy a "sea-unicorn of colossal dimensions, armed not with a halberd, but with a real spur, as the armored frigates." The undersea monster is thought to be responsible for the disappearance of over 200 ships. When they encounter the "gigantic cetacean," it disables the Abraham Lincoln and knocks Professor Aronnax, his servant, and the hot-tempered harpooner Ned Land overboard. The three must cling to the beast or drown; however, they soon realize that the "beast" is really a man-made underwater vehicle.

Captain Nemo captures the men and holds them prisoner on the Nautilus, his incredible submarine. The captain and his unwilling passengers thus embark on a deep-sea odyssey that stretches from the palm-strewn Indian Ocean to the frozen peril of the South Pole. But the enigmatic Nemo has a darker purpose for his voyage: revenge on humanity.

Not just a suspense-ridden drama, this classic novel, written in 1873, predicts with astonishing accuracy the advanced technology and inventions of the twentieth century, and it has inspired generations of science fiction writers.

Amazon Rapids, the chat fiction for kids, is now free

Amazon Rapids, the chat fiction that encourages kids to read by presenting stories in the form of text message conversations, is now going free. Previously, Amazon had been charging $2.99 per month for a subscription that allows unlimited access to its story collection, which now numbers in the hundreds.

First launched in November 2016, Amazon Rapids was meant to capitalize on kids’ interest in chat fiction apps like Hooked, Yarn, Tap and others, which tend to cater to a slightly older teenage crowd. Amazon Rapids, meanwhile, was the schoolager-appropriate version, without the swearing, alcohol, sex and yeah, even incest references you’ll find in the Hooked app, for example. (Yuck. Delete.)

Instead, Amazon Rapids’ stories are aimed at kids ages 5 to 12 and generally just silly and fun. They’re not meant to addict kids through the use of cliffhangers and timeouts, nor are they scary.

Amazon Rapids

Amazon Rapids, a reading app offering hundreds of short stories for kids ages 5 – 12, is now free for all Amazon customers. Read short-stories in the app, and listen to them in the free Amazon Storytime Alexa skill. Just say, “Alexa, open Amazon Storytime”

Here's the blurb for this month's offerings (link):

Missing

A series of disappearances

Our abilities, our belongings, and our people give us our sense of self. When the touchstones of our lives disappear, restoring them can become an obsession. In these six true stories, the search is on for a wife, a dog, inner peace, anatomic truth, the right words, and lost time.

Enjoy!
