Special offer $1.95/month for Audible Plus (targeted offer YMMV)
I am very happy to report that my "special offer" for Audible Plus subscription @ $1.95 per month has actually proved to be real! I checked my renewal payment today and it is indeed $2.09 (inc tax). WOW! Two bucks a month for unlimited listening is a steal. According to the email I received from Customer Service (see spoiler), this offer is targeted and may be $1.95 or $4.95/month and the offer will end in April or May. Once signed up, you stay on that special price forever.
So if you are not currently a member of Audible - on any of their plans - log out of your account and you may see this offer banner on the home page. Obviously this offer is not to everybody's taste as you get no credits and access to sales is hit or miss. I assume Audible's objective is to get you to upgrade to Premium Plus. But it suits me perfectly! I have a ton of books in my Library already and can now take my own sweet time to listen every now and then... Quote:

![]() ETA: Looks like my billing notice just hasn't come through yet - I just checked my online banking and there is a pending Audible charge on my credit card. And, yes, I got the $1.95 pricing as well! ![]() Last edited by Loosheesh; 03-19-2022 at 04:45 PM. Reason: update |

I'm so happy for both of us! The reason I knew is that I had Audible billing set up to use a card that notifies me of every transaction (I don't use it much). No, Audible is not at all good about notifications of that kind. My account, like yours, still does NOT say that the monthly fee is $1.95 and not $7.95. Fingers crossed that the rate continues as it's supposed to!

OK, so I joined and I don't see where I can actually download an audiobook. If this is only for streaming, then I may just cancel. Below is the item I would like to listen to: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Shado...FQAK64ZWTQEWV6 When I 'Select with Membership', I am brought to a screen to purchase the item and 'Start Now' - presumably after paying $7.00. Perhaps I have misunderstood something...I'm new to the 'Audible Game', and much prefer reading than listening. (However, I will sometimes listen to a book being read.) NOTE: I, too, was billed for the $1.95 per month. I'm using my Oasis (2019). Last edited by Dr. Drib; 03-20-2022 at 10:06 AM. |

(ETA: when you search for books, look for the INCLUDED tag.) I find it weird you were billed right away; we got a free month trial first. Last edited by Loosheesh; 03-20-2022 at 01:31 PM. |

Hi Dr D, Audible Plus is a streaming only service with access to a limited subset of the Audible catalog. That particular title you linked to is not available on the Plus subscription - it must be purchased for the price shown or with a credit if you are an Audible PREMIUM Plus customer. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my earlier posts, Audible has a very confusing system of categories of customer.
When you are browsing the Audible site, you can filter the results by clicking in the box in the left hand menu "Access - Plus Catalog". On any specific title detail, if you don't see the tag "Included", then it's not. You'll only see purchase options. By being a Plus customer, you do get the "member discount" on the purchase price though, so that may be a worthwhile benefit for you? As a sidenote, I found that audiobook is available on Scribd.com (another of my favorite websites) here https://www.scribd.com/audiobook/288...er-in-Darkness Although this is also a "streaming only" service, you CAN download audio and ebooks from Scribd to their app (Android or iPhone) for listening/reading offline. Scribd access is worldwide. Cost is $10/month, or $100 as an annual gift subscription. Included perks are free subscriptions to Pandora Plus, MUBI and Curiosity Stream; this makes it a great deal for me. Obviously, this needs a computer, tablet or phone. Oasis will not work for Scribd. Hope that is helpful? Quote:
