It's the treat yourself sale. Hundreds of titles from $4.95, Buy 4 sale titles and get a $5 coupon. Coupon offer ends 21st Nov, Sale ends 26th Nov
https://www.audible.com/ep/TYS2018
Your coupon will arrive on or about 11/30/2018.
The coupon will expire 30 days after being added to your account

It seems like the coupon is only available if you are a member however the discounted prices are available even if you are not a member. If a non member could check that our and post back it would be appreciated.

^ Thanks! One coupon per account. Hopefully someone bumps this around 11/30/18 to remind us to make sure Audible follows through and send the $5 coupon.

[melmac]

Yep well I've already purchased 5 books so hopefully there will be something good to spend the coupon on when it arrives

Thanks. Not sure about the coupon but the sale is open to non-members (for once).

Thanks for the info. I'm a 'lite' member so that's probably why I didn't get the notice. If I buy 4 titles I'll keep an eye out to see if I get the coupon.

ETA: I swear that sale heading was not on the site when I looked yesterday.

Huh. I have mixed feelings about this. For once in an Audible sale I can find books I wouldn't mind buying, even four of them, and I already have nearly $15 in coupon credit. So, since I want $6.95 books (of course), I could spend $13 and get back a $5 credit which would have to be used in 30 days or I could pick just two and essentially cash out my credit and have done without having to spend more money now and more money again in 30 days to use the new credit, since $5 won't get me anything I want.

I'm thinking the fiscally conservative option is the way to go. I feel as if Audible's game is a constant stream of cash with the lure of coupons and once you're in, it's hard to stop; you just keep rolling over coupon credit with additional cash infusions.

Well said Issy, glad to know others feel like this. I am very close to giving up on Audible and just borrowing the audiobook I want from the library. Cheaper yes and no carrot dangling to keep luring me in.

I'm guessing since this sale is good for non-members too the $5 credit is bait to keep buying and maybe get a membership? Otherwise, I can see little reason a full member would be interested since they can shop with credits. As a lite member I'd be tempted IF I could still get the daily deals. That said, there are 3 titles I want to buy and since (1) I'm not sure I'd even get the $5 coupon, and (2) I can't spend it on the discounted daily deal titles even if I did, I'm sticking to 3.

I can't find even one book in the sale that I want, let alone four!

Crimson Lake, Candice Fox
The Force, Don Winslow
How It Happened, Michael Koryta
The Cuban Affair, Nelson DeMille

I finally worked up the courage to cancel my connections with Audible completely (I had the "Inactive Listener" membership). It had gotten to where there was so little benefit to it, compared to any possible gain.

I still had about half a year on the membership. But I couldn't readily find out if I was being billed automatically, and I didn't want the monkey (no offense, tubemonkey ) on my back of keeping track of when that would be.

Goodbye, Audible.
