Not sure if this has been posted by I haven't seen it...
anyway, sign up with audible for £7.99 a month (can cancel during first month) and get a free £15 amazon credit...so basicly you pay £7.99, cancel subscription, get charged no more and get a £15 credit for your trouble.

Brilliant thanks have been meaning to sit down with a good book for ages and just havent had the chance I can now whilst driving even if I dont get the credit my life feels slightly more enriched! Thanks again.
My money came through but it took a few hours - as an FYI it doesn't show up in the gift card balance or anywhere, it will only show when you goto checkout, then it will say that discount is applied and its a promotional discount - you have 90 days to spend the £15 from sign up

Doh. Silly me, why can't the customer services tell me that. If I cancel audible now, will the promo code still be there?
Lomi
9 Dec 161#280
you don't get a code - it just applies to your account automatically, if you try buying something direct from amazon it should show in the checkout stage

Took out the offer, Audible confirmed ok but never got the Email 'Your 15 Amazon credit is ready to use', Have just bought he 6 x Blu-Ray offer so lets see if its. I had to chase them for the £5 on £100 deposited offer also. I can see another Email being sent in a week!

Just got a email saying that my free £15 credit has been applied to my account, I previously had a subscription on the cheap and cancelled it over a few months ago...but I had to wait over a week to get the free £15 after receiving a email saying that they are working on getting me the free £15...

Maybe was just lucky then, coz I did have it refunded twice but it took a lot of persistence and the usual supervisor intervention.

8 Dec 16#275
no they don't refund it, if they did for you it was a special case, the terms and conditions state, they don't refund promo credit.
matwalaboy
7 Dec 16#274
Yes they refund it - but its a massive PITA to get it back, so indeed best to buy something with the promo you will keep.
I received an email tonight to say my £15 credit is ready to use! About time!
Estrial
5 Dec 16#271
I've tried, but they're just flat out refusing to give me the credit. My husband did exactly the same as me, but is getting his credit! So annoying. I've asked for a refund of my £7.99.
Oh and they suggested I contact the Retail Ombudsman, so I have.

Keep chasing it, i cancelled mine straight away and have successfully had the credit applied although it was a ball ache and i kept getting fobbed off.
ainsy69
3 Dec 161#269
Yeah it was a nightmare for me also but its now been sorted, 1 live chat person i spoke to told me that because i had cancelled the subscription i was no longer entitled to it, i then reminded them that in the terms and conditions it never mentioned that and I had received a confirmation email saying the credit had been applied (which it hadn't) they then passed me to another CS agent who said the email i had recieved was a phishing email and directed me to Citizens Advice. I'm thinking all the money that Amazon have spent to get Clarkeson would have been better spent on training their staff. disgraceful.
Estrial
3 Dec 16#268
For anyone who cancelled straight away and still hasn't received the credit, apparently audible's system takes 4 hours to process orders, and as I cancelled my subscription before it was processed, I'm not eligible for the credit. Still arguing this one out over email.
pinkleponkle
3 Dec 16#267
Yes, on the right hand side says audible promotion with a minus figure of the discount.

They are saying the credit will be applied at checkout if buying an eligible product from Amazon, is the discount shown before clicking the buy now? Because I can't see it
matwalaboy
2 Dec 16#265
Its been crazy for me too - did it on 2 accounts and on both had to haggle a while before they finally applied the credit - didn't expect them from amazon - usually they are bang on the money when its coming to CS !

Anyone else not had there credit and having to jump through hoops to get it sorted? I'm being passed between Amazon and Audible live chat, Audible are saying I'm entitled to it and Amazon are saying the promo doesn't exist. Ive had the email confirming the credit will be applied to my account and Amazon are claiming its a phishing email. Useless b*sta*ds
Anyone can point me in the right direction to get the cancellation done? Is it done via chat or through a cancellation page? Link would be appreciated
Thanks

Dear [Firefly1]
Thanks for signing up to Audible as part of our limited time offer.
We’re very sorry for the delay in applying your £15 Amazon promotional credit. We’re working to get it to you ASAP. You’ll receive an email from us once it arrives and is ready to use.
Happy shopping!
The Audible Team

I just cancelled, without using the credit. Told them I'm fussy so cannot choose just one so think its best I cancel and try again when I know one I like. Was told thats fine cancelled and refunded, but also told to use my credit during the chat to pick one so I can trial the service and see how good it is. Wow thats amazing service. No idea if I'll ever listen to the book though. Thanks Op and everyone else for the tips.

for those who have used a credit* you can return the book and it will show up as you still have 1 credit available. The talk on the Webchat. I told them that i (genuinely did think) that is was unlimited downloads and not just one credit, so ive had them refund the 7.99. Make sure you request an email to confirm this.

When you have narrowed down your search on Amazon for the type of product you are after.....
Look to the left hand side (the 'refine by' section) and scroll down a bit.... and you should see an option for 'Seller ', Then check the box next to Amazon.co.uk and that will narrow down your selection to those items sold by Amazon only. Hope this helps :smiley:

Thanks for this!
I personally did NOT get an email confirming the free £15 credit, however after a few hours it simply appeared in my promotional balance. As far as I know you can only view your promotional balance during checkout, just before you pay for an item (where you select payment method). If you have the credit, it will show there.

Fight your own battles on this - I just got told by a chat rep that since I have been with audible before my account doesn't qualify (even though I had confirmed with them earlier) - just cancelled my membership so that I don't end up paying for something I wasn't intending to use in the first place anyways.

Someone earlier posted this link to the Telegraphs top picks http://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/20-best-audiobooks-of-all-time/ (Just noticed 2 of the books I mentioned are in the top 10)

got the 15 pound credit aswell
yeah the prices for audiobooks are insane, you what really strange is if you would by the kindle book you can get the audio book with it for like 4 or 5 pounds, so it's cheaper to same kindle and audiobook together because that is like 10 to 15 max than just buying the audio book which is by itself lie 25 pounds. really strange business practices

I did the same on one of my account where I had audible previously from the prime day offer (but not on an active subscription) and chat said all good - they even called back to confirm - yet nothing on the account or email still - maybe just a case of more patience here?

On the review your purchase (page before final signup), there is no reference to a £15 promotional credit.
I wonder whether this is because i'm a past audible subscriber? I don't know whether to take the risk :disappointed:

brilliant, free money (£15 credit applied in mere minutes), download my 1 book (the 4th book of Stephen King's Dark Tower series) and I'm a happy bunny.
I signed up for the 3 months free + £10 credit is something like that a while back, cancelled before the paid service kicked in, and it offered me a free book to stay a member - so i took the free book, and cancelled a few days later anyway. This is now my 5th book, still only paid £7.99 and received £25 in credit. I repeat, I'm a happy bunny.

My money came through but it took a few hours - as an FYI it doesn't show up in the gift card balance or anywhere, it will only show when you goto checkout, then it will say that discount is applied and its a promotional discount - you have 90 days to spend the £15 from sign up

28 Nov 161#4
Depends how it is provided. If it comes as an actual gift card, unlikely IME, then it will work on anything. If instead they apply it as a 'promotional credit' to your account then it will only work with items sold directly from Amazon and not third party sellers...
eatmorefish
28 Nov 16#3
Is this credit to be spent on only certain items Amazon allow, or can it be used for anything?
Opening post
anyway, sign up with audible for £7.99 a month (can cancel during first month) and get a free £15 amazon credit...so basicly you pay £7.99, cancel subscription, get charged no more and get a £15 credit for your trouble.

Dear [Firefly1]
Thanks for signing up to Audible as part of our limited time offer.
We’re very sorry for the delay in applying your £15 Amazon promotional credit. We’re working to get it to you ASAP. You’ll receive an email from us once it arrives and is ready to use.
Happy shopping!
The Audible Team
Was listed below the final price in the checkout as "Audible Promotion".
Look to the left hand side (the 'refine by' section) and scroll down a bit.... and you should see an option for 'Seller ', Then check the box next to Amazon.co.uk and that will narrow down your selection to those items sold by Amazon only. Hope this helps :smiley:
Spoke to live chat on audible and they refused to refund the £7.99 though, even though I hadn't downloaded any books
I personally did NOT get an email confirming the free £15 credit, however after a few hours it simply appeared in my promotional balance. As far as I know you can only view your promotional balance during checkout, just before you pay for an item (where you select payment method). If you have the credit, it will show there.
the 7.99 gotrefunded :wink:
Did you download a book and did you cancel the membership by yourself or did you contact the chat for them to do it for you? Thanks :smiley:
Hmm... :man:
Don't know if I should try a membership again and see if the £15 credit appears, got something in my Amazon basket and would prefer to pay £3 for it than £10!.... obviously! :stuck_out_tongue:
Reading some reviews on Audible and read someone mentioned you can download David Suchet reading the whole bible.... THE WHOLE BIBLE??!!!...... would I not be dead by the time he finished?? :smile:
Great post tho OP heat added regardless if I get the free cash or not! xx
:wink:
i was just using their chat surface and choose option cancel. told her I do not even know how did I get to order, my intention was to use 30day trial. She understood and cancelled membership, and given me 30days trial + refunded my 7.99.
If you have books you do not need, cold you pls provide me them? :wink:
Still waiting for the Amazon credit.
2) Downloaded Audiobook
3) Waiting patiently for free money
Also managed to speak to somebody on chat and said I was meant to try the free trial and got it all wrong. He refunded my £7.99.
No it doesn't unfortunately. May talk with the chat support to see if they can help out.
Amazon are a bit different to Bespoke me thinks
It's a 47% discount on a £15 amazon voucher.....ok, Bespoke offered 50% but they went bust....wonder why!
got the 15 pound credit aswell
yeah the prices for audiobooks are insane, you what really strange is if you would by the kindle book you can get the audio book with it for like 4 or 5 pounds, so it's cheaper to same kindle and audiobook together because that is like 10 to 15 max than just buying the audio book which is by itself lie 25 pounds. really strange business practices
But if you sign up now, you can download your ebook on the 6th and cancel on 7th
Decent deal
I'm extremely sorry for any inconvenience and frustration caused regarding this issue.
Further to email that I do understand that you are waiting for £10 credit to your account by using the audible trial deal.

Then £15 is credited to Amazon account?
So all you get is free £7.01
Am I correct?
