Up until now, these promos haven't been working for me. After seeing your post I gave it a shot and it worked. Thanks

On to Dune. I now have 12 of 17 in the series.

Audible Surprise $4.95 Sale on 20 titles, including "Inside Scientology" by Janet Reitman, which was a pretty engrossing read.

Thanks again for the thread, TMonkey and all - very much digging the new world of audiobooks.

You're welcome and thanks for the heads up - I'll add that promo to the OP

BTW, I learned all I need to know about Scientology from South Park

Surprise sales generally only work for the email address that saw the notice (and only for a short time).

LOL I'm doing the same with the Amber series. As far as I know, it's not available as an ebook yet (at least in the US), but Audible has the entire series on audio. I picked 3 up with credits and a fourth with some of the free gift certificates they've given out. I picked up the 5th one today with this promotion and will get the 6th one with my next credit...

I'll just mention that torrents are definitely the way to go with these downloads.

Definitely, will make the downloads 100% faster than through HTTP.

And yeah, every time you pledge above the average, it'll add the new stuff automatically when they're announced. That's how it works.

I'm not sure if it's automatic anymore, but if it isn't, I suggest you guys associate your download pages to an account. Will make it easier to find the purchases later on. I have purchased over 20 bundles myself.

The Audible deal worked for me too and I just cancelled at the beginning of the month.

These sales usually don't work if you're already or were recently a member (including non-paying members). I'm shocked it worked for me.

I guess that's why I've never heard of surprise sales. Didn't realize they were member specific.

Yep. Same here. Got the first 5 Amber books... Just need the second 5. I've read them all, but it's been a while... 15+ years?

I could have sworn I took advantage of this at the time. It's been sitting on my phone for months, but I just listened to it for the first time and found that all I have is the first 10 minutes. I looked in my LOL account and it's not there so I have no idea what happened. Any one know is this available for free anywhere else? Maybe I got it elsewhere?

It Didn't work the 1st time for me. Tho audible was nice enough to give me the 3 crs all at once. IF you contact them they may give you a cr or two or at least let you know how long you need to wait to do the next special.

I read them in the 70's and have long since lost my copies. I have the first few and have been chipping away at adding the rest. I think I'm most of the way thru the first one (it's a joint listen, so have to have the correct 2nd party in the car to listen...)

We're sorry...
Our Surprise $4.95 Sale allows access only once during the time the sale is active. Our records indicate you've already participated in this promotion, or were prompted to do so from your Library. Please stay tuned for new Surprise promotions in the near future.

Looks like it's a one-shot deal; if you go off the page you miss out.
