That gift card makes you member for 3 months.
IIUC, under the current rules, not only is there no way get credits to use as a non-member, but if you end your membership you lose any credits you had.

How the US Twenty-Third Special Troops Fooled the Nazis

What do set design, sound effects, and showmanship have to do with winning World War II? Meet the Ghost Army that played a surprising role in helping to deceive - and defeat - the Nazis.

In his third book about deception during war, Paul B. Janeczko focuses his lens on World War II and the operations carried out by the Twenty-Third Headquarters Special Troops, aka the Ghost Army. This remarkable unit included actors, camouflage experts, sound engineers, painters, and set designers who used their skills to secretly and systematically replace fighting units - fooling the Nazi army into believing what their eyes and ears told them, even though the sights and sounds of tanks and war machines and troops were entirely fabricated. Follow the Twenty-Third into Europe as they play a dangerous game of enticing the German army into making battlefield mistakes by using sonic deceptions, inflatable tanks, pyrotechnics, and camouflage in more than twenty operations. From the Normandy invasion to the crossing of the Rhine River, the men of the Ghost Army - several of whom went on to become famous artists and designers after the war - played an improbable role in the Allied victory.

FREE -- Picture Us in the Light -- Kelly Loy Gilbert/ James Chen -- 11.6 hrs -- romance

When Danny discovers a taped-up box in his father's closet filled with old letters and a file on a powerful Silicon Valley family, he realizes there's much more to his family's past than he ever imagined. Danny has been an artist for as long as he can remember, and it seems his path is set, with a scholarship to RISD and his family's blessing to pursue the career he's always dreamed of. Still, contemplating a future without his best friend, Harry Wong, by his side makes Danny feel a panic he can barely put into words.

Harry and Danny's lives are deeply intertwined, and as they approach the one-year anniversary of a tragedy that shook their friend group to its core, Danny can't stop asking himself if Harry is truly in love with his girlfriend, Regina Chan. When Danny digs deeper into his parents' past, he uncovers a secret that disturbs the foundations of his family history, and the carefully constructed façade his parents have maintained begins to crumble.

With everything he loves in danger of being stripped away, he must face the ghosts of the past in order to build a future that belongs to him.

Fwiw, it’s now 10 freebies, at least one of them I’ve owned for over a year.

Thanks

Well dang, Audible's jumping the gun. They cheated and removed April's selection before their advertised expiration date. Those 10 freebies are actually for May.

Audible Originals Pre-Orders

Each month Audible offers many, if not all, of the following month's free Audible Originals in the form of pre-orders. These books are offered towards the end of the month and members may download any or all of them for free. Once released (usually a day or two before the new month begins), they are no longer free until they become available in the new month's list. The advantage to downloading the pre-orders is to get more than the two books usually offered.
