Thanks for the input.

I am not "up" on audiobook trial offers. Maybe I should put phrase posts on topics that I'm not familiar with something like this: "I ran across this offer. Can anyone tell us if it's a good one?" In fact, that's what I'm going to do from now on.

FWIW, when I had a 4 month offer for KU if I bought a Fire 8, it was not honored because I had cancelled KU 2 months prior to this. So, keep that in mind.

I've learned to check the monkey god's (aka tubemonkey's) O.P. first, before posting such deals, and it appears that it hasn't been posted there yet.

Details are here: https://www.audiobooks.com/landing/p...eLanding/LP51?. The extra benefit that stands out to me is that this promo offers _three_ audiobooks during the trial period, rather than two.

I was repeatedly getting e-mails from Audiobooks.com about the two-freebie trial offer, then got one for three freebies, and decided to bite. After I went through the sign-up process, Audiobooks decided I wasn't eligible because I'd previously been a member. Well, duh, that's why they had my e-mail on their list, and there was no fine print about the offer being only for new subscribers.

Long story short, I contacted them and complained about false advertising, and they gave me two credits without my having to reactivate my membership. They said it was a marketing mistake that I was getting those e-mails. Whatever. I used the two credits; I haven't gotten any promotional e-mails since.

Your mileage may vary.

I don't know that failure to mention something like that in the fine print would legally qualify as "false advertising," but it was probably worth it to them to give you two credits just to get rid of you. Congrats on getting the two credits!

I ran across this offer. Can anyone tell us if it's a good offer (still in effect, etc.) or not?

Chirp audiobooks' Deal of the Week is a book in the apparently very popular "Pollifax" series--Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax, for $3.99. You'll see the deal on Chirp's homepage.

In case anyone is wondering, no, I haven't fallen off the wagon and begun to like fiction books.

I am showing this offer as still having 27 days left. I own a number of books in this series, and it's what I would call "Cozy Espionage." The second book is better, but I enjoyed this first one as well; and Barbara Rosenblatt is a good narrator.

The "Deal of the Week" is ambiguous, or at least I find it so. Does that phrase mean that the price of the audiobook will go up after the week (whatever the parameters of "the week" are) is over? Or, is this audiobook just their _featured_ audiobook of the week? Then where does the 27 days fit in?

I suppose that eventually we'll get answers to all of our questions.

You can access some of the sales. I'm not sure about the daily deals - I would ask them at Audible. The last time my account was on hold, Daily Deals were still available to everybody - now you have to have a membership to get the deal.
