I ended a three-months-free offer two weeks ago; I'm not being offered a new deal. Just as well, as I don't think I borrowed anything at all this last time.

Hoping for another Black Friday special to get 12 credits for $119. I'm down to my last one from last year. I used most of them in their "use credits, earn a coupon" sales.

This last sale was the best ever with everything at least 65 percent off; the one in March and in previous years was everything at least 50 percent off.

Last year I got a post-Black Friday offer in early December that was even better: $90 for a year/12 credits!

Thanks @booklover6 and @Catlady! I recently joined and have my eye on a few audiobooks, wondering if it's worth it to wait for a sale or if I should just use a credit now.

At the beginning of the last sale I got an offer for $99.50/year which is the one I wait for to sign up. I've never seen one for $90. They must like you.

I went back to double-check, and it was actually $89.50. I had just ended a membership and planned to take a hiatus, when that offer popped into my mailbox and I couldn't resist. I would definitely re-up for $99.50.

Other sales (2-books-for-1 credit; $5-$7 per book) are limited to a specified selection of titles, so you can't really count on the book you want being on sale, and it'll be a while before there's another site-wide sale like the one just concluded a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you. I didn't realize members get discounts and sales. This makes membership worth more than I thought.

When you used the credits, did you get any kind of confirmation that you qualified for the Amazon coupon? I just used 6 credits!

No, but I'll be watching my email for that one that says I earned a credit. You have to make sure you are getting their emails.

oooo I'll be waiting for that one. My sub ends 12/08, I'll just pause it until a deal comes up.

Thanks. I was wondering about it since Audible didn't advertise the promo to me in any way--I only knew about it from the link here at MR.

Well shoot. I've discovered that one of the six titles I picked up to get the $20 coupon from Audible is defective--missing a chapter. Now I am hesitating to try to return it before I get the coupon, since it makes the difference between a $10 coupon and a $20 coupon.

Can you play it safe and return it after they deliver the coupon?
