Prime Day is still a few weeks out, but what if we told you that there’s a great deal you can shop right now?
Well, there is a great deal you can shop now, thanks to Audible!
Starting today, Amazon is offering an extended free trial of their subscription-based audiobook service exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers.
Instead of just one month of free Audible Premium Plus, you’ll be able to take advantage of three months for free before payment kicks in.
What does Audible Premium Plus include?
Great question, thanks for asking!
Audible has two membership plans. The first, Premium, gives users access to Audible’s entire Plus catalog for $8/month.
The second, Premium Plus — the one included with this extended free trial — also includes the Plus catalog, but additionally, you’ll be given a credit to purchase one new audiobook every month regardless of price, and you’ll receive 30% off every other title you choose to buy outside of your credits.
Audible Premium Plus normally costs $14.95/month, so over the course of your extended free trial, you’ll save just about $45, and you’ll own three audiobooks that you get to keep even if you decide to cancel your account after the trial period is up.
