Amazon Deal: Sign-up For 30-Day Audible Trial and Get 3 Free Books
- Thread starter Hubbl3
- Start date
The discount/promotion shows up at checkout.
still nothing
Thanks, but a blank page for me. Wonder if Amazon is working on the promo issues right now or there is some glitch preventing me from accessing it. I am a Prime member but have never joined Audible in my life, so no reason I shouldn't have access to this.
I haven't been able to get the physical book promo to apply to anything, and I meet all the criteria. I'm on live chat with an Amazon rep right now who says she's unable to locate any details about the promo. Don't really know what to do at this point other than get the 2 audio books and cancel.
Looks like Amazon took down the promotion page. I think they're only giving 2 free audible books now. It does say on my email in the fine print "while supplies last".
It also mentions that they can change the terms at any time.

I'm confused at anyone who tried to get the book after signing up for Audible. The process was that you find a book you wanted, look for the Audible promotional banner above it (which verified that, yes, this book is eligible), and then click on the banner, which allowed you to "buy" the book and sign up for the free trial right then and there.

Kinda sorta.
I used the banner to sign up for the promotion BUT I was able to get any book I wanted (less than or equal to $50). The banner above the book you wanted to purchase wasn't required.
I signed up on Saturday night and I decided on what book to purchase the next morning.
BTW, my book shipped this afternoon.

Wish I had known that - I was eyeing another book that seemingly wasn't eligible. Still, I'm very happy with the one I got (see above) - it's absolutely beautiful.

My copy of Nausicca just shipped (I went with free shipping) and will arrive Friday.
I still need to pick out my free audio books and my free Marvel digital comic.

Deal is dead I think. Only 2 audio book for free now.

Just now?
Is it typical for stuff that ends up being free through offers like this to arrive damaged or for Amazon to prioritize items that have already been damaged before shipping them out? I got the Agents of SHIELD S1 artbook and Zelda manga box set through this offer today and the artbook has a big slice through the slipcover while the box set is badly dinged up in one corner and I'm assuming the book in that corner suffered the same fate. I'd like to exchange the two of them but I'm not sure if that's something that's frowned upon when it comes to items that weren't actually "paid for" to begin with.
Yes. It's the World of Ice and Fire book. Not the actual story books.

They packed the hell out of my book. Never received an item from Amazon this well packaged. The book is in perfect shape. Maybe something happened during the packaging process for your stuff.

How long did it take for some of you to get the promotion?
Haha, just exchange the book.
Amazon is a corporation not an actual person. Frowned upon lol.
? It's immediate. Just pick a book and go to the checkout page. It should appear and you pay nothing. Have to pick a book that qualifies for it though. You should also have two credits for audible.

Nothing, and they only gave me 1 credit. I bought 2 physical book between 6 months.
Looks like the deal is dead then. I don't see the banner anymore.

Just chat with a rep. So basically, it is a known bug that they are trying to work out. Just sign up for the free trial -> talk to a rep -> ... -> they will give u the code for 50$ free book -> profit.

I just chatted with a rep. I signed up for the standard trial and they said I would be receiving the credit by email within 24 hours. We will see if it actually works...

Anybody else still getting this when they check their membership to cancel? I was hoping it woild eventually fix itself so I didn't have to waste time contacting them.
Yep, same exact problem here. Post on CAG says have to chat with customer rep to cancel. What a pain.
I cancelled yesterday and they sent me in email.

Reporting back, I just got my 50$ code.
Success as well. Got my $50 code.
Now to decide what to get with it. So many artbooks or graphic novels to choose from...

I haven't bought physical books from Amazon in over a year 
Nope, it's for a single item up to $50 USD*.
*Depending on the product, you might be able to get a book that's more expensive like people here have with The Planetary Omnibus.
What exactly did you do? I want to use my friends account to get some comics...
That was more directed to the poster above me. You could try buying some books now and asking customer service, but I don't think it'd work. For me, despite not fulfilling the supposed criteria, I got a banner showing this deal on the item page of a book. But that was back when Wario64 first shared it.
