This is the same voucher they offered on 30 Aug. The redemption and use by dates are identical. To be sure, I claimed the voucher and got this message when I attempted to redeem it:

Sorry, it looks like you have already taken advantage of this offer. If you think we have made a mistake, please contact customer care.

Hopefully, those who missed this offer the first time around can claim it now. But they need to redeem it fast. That deadline is 22 Sep.

Thanks for posting

I thought of the alternate personality route () but just too much trouble to bother. If anyone here wants it feel free to send me a PM.

It looks like this is a duplicate of the Amazon Local app exclusive as the dates are the same. It let me redeem again, but when I attempted to redeem the code, it told me I'd already taken advantage of the promotion.

Edit: Looks like TubeMonkey was a little faster on the Reply button than I was.

That first one had to be claimed through a mobile device; looks like now they're letting it be claimed via a computer as well. I couldn't get it the first time (no mobile device), but was able to now.

Yeah, I think when they offered it on the mobile app there was some verbiage that it was going to be exclusive to the mobile app initially, implying that it would be offered to everyone at some point.

That's right. Glad you got it this time. I added this to the OP.


This offer expires today (19 Sep) and must be redeemed by Sun (22 Sep)

Additionally, it must be used within 30 days of redemption --> 19 Oct~22 Oct

Thanks.

4 is what I have been using but I think I will try the Enhanced. Seems that's what most are using.

I use the Audible Manager program and then just import into iTunes. Do you like using iTunes better than Audible's program?

I don't think I've tried Enhanced yet, but since 4 seems absolutely fine to me, I'm not sure I'd be interested in waiting twice as long for a download, or using twice the mobile data on my phone plan.

Format 4 isn't stereo? I never noticed. Are most books even mixed in stereo?

Do you like using iTunes better than Audible's program to manage the files?

OK. Now I have a new question.

For those who use an iOS device, do you listen to your audiobooks in the iTunes app or the Audible app? Do you notice any difference between them?

I use the Audible app on my iPod touch 4; I don't like iTunes.
