If I am interpreting the Audible gift card correctly, it's a fantastic deal. It essentially means you can be a member for $10 per month in perpetuity, or as long as the gift cards hold out.

A $30 gift card is good for three months membership. If you're a member, you get all three credits up front, but for a non-member, you get one a month. What's to stop you from using a gift card for three months, quitting, and then activating the next gift card? Nothing at all that I can see. The only caveat is that as always, you'd have to use up your existing credits before rebooting, but at a perpetual 33% discount, that doesn't seem a hardship to me. (And you could stretch out the times a bit, too. Quit at the end of the gift card membership and wait to re-up until you want another book or see a sale you want to participate in.)

It's not perfectly designed to maximize the value of the Best Buy gift card as you'd have to spend $60 and not $50, but the Best Buy gc could be viewed as an additional bonus.

Thanks for catching that. I'm interpreting it the same way.

I just assumed this offer was for a gift card with $30 dollars of value to spend on Audible books. I didn't look at the card itself to see that it was, in reality, a discounted membership promo. My bad.

I totally revised my original post.

Oh, wow, great deal! I was on the verge of getting the Audible deal of 12 credits for $120, but this is even better--not just because of the Best Buy gift card, but because I can wait to activate each card till needed.

I bought two and may decide to get two more (looks like I won't get another Best Buy GC then, but that's OK).

Yep. It solves the credit piling up problem and then cashing them in on stuff you might not really want just to be able to get out. The Best Buy gc is small potatoes in comparison.

I did the two audible gift cards too. Looks like there won't be much better a deal for returning members this time around. When I called in to complain about the apparent bait-and-switch offer page last week, they did offer me a slightly better price-per-credit for three months, but, as Catlady said, this way, my wife can just keep the gift card on hand and activate it when her favorite author's new books come out later in the year.

Darn, doesn't look like there is any way to ship the Audible gift cards to Canada. Too bad the gift cards aren't digital and emailed.
