FREE/BARGAIN — Audiobooks

^^In fact, you can use the same email for US and UK accounts; I've never had a problem even with two concurrent active memberships on the same email. Just sign into the UK site with your "regular" account.

Also, while I'm not 100% sure I'm pretty close as I know I've done it, it seems to me that the huge advantage of using the same email is that it doesn't delete downloads when you switch accounts. But instead of signing out, just scroll down to the very bottom of account options and chose "switch accounts".

This can definitely work. The reason I have separate email addresses/accounts is that I have occasionally run into geo-restricted titles "this is not available in your country". Also I feel very cloak-and-daggery having an alter-ego like the Bourne Identity...

Good info, so is it "legal" to have 2 accounts? I suppose it's pointless to ask, since I already do. I just haven't bought credits in over 2 years on the UK site. I don't want to get banned.

Back in the day there were some freebies on UK that weren't available in the US. I talked to customer service and they actually told me to just create a separate UK account.

Thanks, that's good to know. I noticed the "get 3 credits for .99 offer" so I subscribed!

No fears about getting banned. You can legally have more than 2 accounts with the same email address and password. I currently have 4 Audible accounts: US, UK, CA, AU. I only sign up for free credit offers and at times, I've had multiple active memberships running concurrently. I've been doing this for quite a few years and have never encountered any issues, other than geo-restrictions that don't bother me.

I currently have three accounts: US, UK, CA. All are 3 mo/half-price promos that I was offered when cancelling previous 3 mo/half-price promos. I use the same e-mail for all, and two of three have the same log-in (no reason).

I don't use the Audible app, so I don't know what issues may arise with multiple accounts there.

Thanks for the info.
I have on my phone an offer to get 12 credits for 89.50, but it won't go through. So I contact CS and they were so useless. Finally had to get on the phone with a rep to get the deal.
Oh...then I get a confirmation email that the deal went through, 3 minutes later, an email that said i cancelled the membership. but I didn't.

Has anyone else experienced the audible web site being very slow to load, the last few days?

I had the same offer on my phone. It wouldn't go though for me either.
FYI; site loads fine for me.

You can log out and log in with another account and the downloaded books will still be available, at least that is what happens for me.

I have 3 accounts (for different countries) and I usually subscribe only when there are offers, I download the books and cancel and I have access to all the books I have downloaded, after listening I delete them to save space.
Currently I have on my phone and ipad books from the tree accounts.

The only time I had a problem was with audible AU and a promotional subscription at 0$ I didn’t download the books before canceling and after that the option to download them disappeared, the books where on my purchased list but with no option to download them. When I subscribed again after a few months I was able to download those books. So now I download them all as soon as I buy them.

I can't find any information on their website, social sites, or anywhere else on the web. I've reached out to them and haven't received a reply.

Stay tuned.

Just got this today. RIP Sync.

Thank you for supporting AudioFile’s AudiobookSYNC program. After 14 years we say goodbye to this dynamic program that brought audiobooks to teen listeners and families. More than 350 free audiobooks were featured as part of AudiobookSYNC, and more than 70,000 listeners were served with 1.4 million downloads over the 14 years. All of the audiobooks featured in AudiobookSYNC are reviewed in AudioFile's stunning young adult listening list — find your favorites on our website here and here.

We look forward to continuing to recommend great listens to teens. Plus, stay tuned for announcements as we work on new programs to continue our long-term engagement with teen listeners.
