I think I am going to have to call too. I have not received an email with the coupon either.

Well, gosh, I just cancelled my last free trial membership, and signed right up again for this one! Sometimes nice stuff just happens....

No sign of the $15 credit yet, but I wonder if that requires a validated Planet Fitness membership? If I actually end up getting the credit....I might feel slightly guilty as I spend it....

Audible didn't give a time frame for sending the coupon code, did they? I haven't received it, but I didn't expect it yet.

I'm sorry tm, but before I got that message above, I had just compiled about 2 webpages of bargains, that I need for you to put on the O.P. Would you mind posting them on the O.P.? Pretty, please? With your usual full formatting, of course.

Since they didn't specify a date and since my experience has been that I frequently have to follow up on promotions, I decided to get it over with when I thought of it. Did anyone get the email?

I used my two credits on the last day and I have not received an email yet.

The Wisdom of Wolves: Lessons from the Sawtooth Pack

From the world-famous couple who lived alongside a three-generation wolf pack, this book of inspiration, drawn from the wild, will fascinate animal and nature lovers alike.

For six years Jim and Jamie Dutcher lived intimately with a pack of wolves, gaining their trust as no one has before. In this book the Dutchers reflect on the virtues they observed in wolf society and behavior. Each chapter exemplifies a principle, such as kindness, teamwork, playfulness, respect, curiosity, and compassion. Their heartfelt stories combine into a thought-provoking meditation on the values shared between the human and the animal world.

Rental FAQ

• Spoiler:

  When does my rental period begin?
  
  Your rental timer will begin counting down when you first initiate the download on your device or 10 days after purchase, whichever comes first.

  How long can I listen to a title?
  
  All digital rentals provide a minimum of 30 days to listen to a book from the time you initiate your first download. With some of our longer books, such as Atlas Shrugged (63hrs), we extend the listening period to 60 days. You do have the option of purchasing a 5, 10, or 20 day extension after you have made your rental purchase.

  How many times can I listen to my rental?
  
  You may listen to a rental as many times as you would like until it expires.

  Can I extend my rental time period?
  
  Once you are logged into your Downpour.com account, you can purchase a time extension for any of your previous rentals via THIS link. After clicking “Extend Rental,” you have the option of purchasing a 5-day ($1.95), 10-day ($2.95) or 20-day ($4.95) extension. If your rental has not yet expired, the purchased time will be added onto your rental. (Example: if your rental has one day remaining, and you purchase a five-day extension, you will now have six days total before your rental expires.) If your rental has already expired, the extension will allow you to listen to your book again for the amount of time purchased.

  Can I have the same rental on more than one device?
  
  You may listen to your audiobook rental on as many personal devices as you own. Your rental time will be synced across all devices on which you have installed the Downpour app.

Did anyone else get billed $1 plus tax after signing up for this offer?
Did I misunderstand the "free" part, or is it temp hold or something?
