    How to buy Audible Credits

    Audible.com is an audiobook service offering more than 200,000 titles and podcasts and numerous plans for users with different budgets and reading styles.

    If you’re already familiar with the platform but have no idea how to buy or use Audible Credits, this article explains just that.

    How Audible works

    Audible is one of the largest providers of audiobooks on the web. Owned by Amazon, it works as a subscription service available through monthly membership and yearly plans.

    Audible has a credit system where you can use credits to purchase audiobooks. Other than on the Audible website, you can purchase new audiobooks directly in the Audible app using your credit card, a nice upgrade introduced relatively recently.

    Users first need to sign into their Amazon account and select a membership plan. Different options depending on your budget range from around $8 to $23 per month. Each plan determines the number of credits or audiobooks you can get each month.

    There’s also a 30-day trial to experience the Plus and Premium catalogs for free.

    After the end of the free trial, you can choose whether you want to continue receiving monthly credit or cancel your membership.

    A great thing about credits is that you don’t have to spend them every month. Since the expiry date for unused credits is 12 months starting from the issue date, you can leave them until the following month. You also get to keep access to the audiobook forever.

    You can choose between Audible Plus and Audible Premium Plus plans. In the first, more affordable plan, you have access to the Audible Plus Catalogue, which is like a digital library. You can download the titles and listen to them as long as you’re a member.

    With this tier, you don’t get any credits for purchasing audiobooks. The Plus plan is ideal if you have no intention of owning audiobooks.

    Premium Plus members can listen to more content, including the latest bestsellers and new releases.

    Note that Audible isn’t connected to the Amazon Prime subscription. You still have to purchase your Audible subscription separately if you’re a Prime member.

    Different ways to get more Audible credits

    If you feel like one free credit per month is too little to experience Audible in the best way, no worries. There are multiple ways to get extra credits.

    Sign up for a free trial

    You get one free book credit when you sign up for a free trial and if you’re a Prime member, you’ll get two. Plus, in the meantime, you’ll see whether Audible is a suitable platform for your needs.

    Pick a more advanced membership option

    An easy way to obtain more Audible member credits is to sign up for a more advanced plan. If you have the Plus plan, you can upgrade to Premium Plus, Plus Annual, or Plus 2-credits (Annual) plans to get up to two monthly credits.

    Purchase more credits

    The best way to enjoy additional credits is to purchase them. There are three-credit bundles available that you can access after being a member for at least one month. The price for the bundle is around $35.

    Get special deals

    Audible has special offers from time to time that benefit audiobook and regular book readers. Sometimes, with Audible offers, you can find a 2-for-1 offer for audiobooks that lets you purchase two titles for one credit.

    You can sign up for the Daily Deal offer to get notifications about new deals through your Audible app (available in Google Play and Apple’s App Store). If you’re lucky, you may just find a good option for getting that book from your wish list.

    Participate in Audible challenges

    Keep an eye out for Audible promotions and challenges. The notable Audible Challenge in 2020 offered $20 of Amazon credit to users who could finish three audiobooks within a three-hour period. Similar challenges can appear at any time, so be vigilant.

    Enjoy free titles

    Audible credit isn’t the only way to enjoy free audiobooks. You can check for free deals by navigating to Audible, then hitting “Browse,” then selecting “Audible Originals.” You can find free titles under “Audible’s Free Listens.”

    You can also benefit from free titles by using the Whispersync Audible upgrades.

    Get promo codes

    A promo code allows you to get a discount or a free audiobook. Authors who contribute to the platform’s library often offer promo codes to grow their relationship with readers. You can find these promo codes on the social media pages of the authors or on other platforms where they promote their work.

    As you can see, there are many ways to get more credits for Audible audiobooks. You can get the most out of your Audible membership when you keep an eye on promotions and promo codes, and select the best plan that matches your needs.

    Speechify – Listen to more than audiobooks

    Audible is a great source for listening to audiobooks. But if you’re into audio format entertainment, why not expand the possibilities?

    The app is fairly easy to use and it’s available as a browser extension and mobile app (for iOS and Android). This intuitive and feature-packed software turns your iPhone into a powerful screen reader. Simply copy and paste the text you want to hear read aloud, press “Convert,” and enjoy the audio version of your desired content.
