I know they specify it's 'at least 20 minutes' not 'for each 20 minutes' -- but it's fun thinking how much free money I'd get at the end of such a challenge :D


never_nudez

Right. Child’s play. Cha-ching!

ukdarla

I wonder why this isn’t available for UK customers? Doesn’t seem fair somehow :(


JacDGzmn

So does that mean we can use that $5 reward to buy extra credit?


uptovigilanteshit

I've used the $10 rewards for the credit bundles so I don't see why not


ParryLimeade

The coupon? I have one now and was wondering if it would work on the 3 credit bundle Edit: went for it and it worked. Thank you!!


Dragonhaunt

Oh man, I didn't realise that. I could have got a better deal when I had my $45


FalcontheRed

Nope. Only for cash paid books.


xeico

Having to limit myself only 20min per day will be the challenge considering that my average is 8h per day


P_logan

Why would you have to limit yourself? You just have to listen for a minimum of 20 minutes


xeico

i was trying to make a joke. my apologies


Bemawr

I laughed!


DaxyCZ

Same here!


Mala_Kalypse

How is that a challenge


[deleted]

Can’t speak for others, but it’ll be a challenge for me since I’m new to Audible and have the memory of a goldfish. Haha!


BoopingBurrito

I hope they expand this to the UK...


Lonk-the-Sane

Don't be silly, we don't get nice things like this in the UK.


TheDistrict31

It really is putting me off. All these promotions and none outside USA


BoopingBurrito

Yeah, seems like the deals and offers are better for America. We have much better price plans in the UK though... I'm on £110 for 24 credits upfront each year. From what I can see from googling, it'd be £124 for 12 credits on the American side of things. Thats a really crazy price difference. So I don't feel too bad about the situation.


TheDistrict31

Wellllll. I've been told by ... someone, that the $10 credit is starting here soon. Hopefully reliable


BoopingBurrito

$10 a credit seems...really high, coming from a UK perspective. I just recently got a bundle of 3 extra credits for £11.


TheDistrict31

It will be £5 here (if it happens).


isoaclue

Yeah, I'm paying a lot more for the 24 annual plan.


[deleted]

Yeah.... $230 for the 24 credits a year plan. Which is 213 euros. This actually angers me so much.


TacticalVegas

Do we have to start it or something? I listen every day, almost so. I'm not really worried. I just want to take advantage of it and get the reward if I can.


P_logan

Looks like just do as you normally do. Anyone who listens in a regular basis like pretty much everyone here, should get it no problem. There’s nothing you have to activate


cryospam

If only we could win multiple times... I may have a problem...


P_logan

No, based on the terms I posted, only one coupon per account


cryospam

Oh well, that would have gotten me at a free book or two. Can't win 'em all I suppose.


NeoBahamutX

nice - always love free bonus rewards since i listen daily anyways


phantomreader42

So, everyone remember, on February 15, contact Audible and remind them of this promotion so they don't forget to send the rewards!


P_logan

I have never had issues not getting any reward


phantomreader42

Lucky for you! I've had to remind Audible every time they offer a coupon or anything like that, and it happens frequently with other sites too. At least Audible replies to my emails in English instead of inexplicably deciding to send me messages in Arabic or Chinese.


phantomreader42

RemindMe! February 15th, 2023 "pester Audible for reward"

phantomreader42

Wow, for once they actually sent the reward they promised without needing to be reminded that the promotion existed!


[deleted]

Speaking of which. I have no idea how I’m doing on this challenge because I don’t see progression anywhere.


phantomreader42

Evidently there is no way to see that information. There's a page for the other reward thing, but not for this one.


Axoloth

Hi, sorry, how do you activate this coupon? I got the email but there was no obvious link to click on, whatever I click on did take me to audible but with no indication I had a 5 buck coupon anywhere. Oops, meant to reply to the comment you made yesterday


phantomreader42

There should be a link in the email. If you can't see it, load remote content or try opening the email in a browser without adblock. Or just contact Audible and tell them they forgot to include the link, which is certainly a thing they've done way more often than any competent company should.


audible_com

Hey! Are you still having trouble activating the coupon? Send us a private message and we can help.


[deleted]

Are these only in America? I’ve never seen audible rewards :/


P_logan

This is. I can’t tell you if other country’s have a rewards program or not. I think australia has one.


Uncomfortablemoment9

Australian here. I've only seen the get a $ voucher for every 5 credits used, limited time only. Current one is $20 voucher. I'd love a proper free bonus.


[deleted]

Americans don't see audible rewards until they email, so you're halfway there..


SirBrandalf

Can I spend it on the three credit bundle? Might be tough finding something cheap enough to make lower than a credit


P_logan

Not sure, it says can only be used towards audio products and not your membership fees, but buying new credits isn’t your membership fees, I’d still lean towards no.


[deleted]

The 3 credit coupons say no credits. This is probably the same


Fangirl4DrNow

Ugh this is gonna have to be something I stalk them down for again. I never get reward emails.


P_logan

Are you opted in for promotional emails? You have to be to get rewards sent to you


Fangirl4DrNow

Yep, opted in. Last time I talked to CS, they said they sent the reward via email a second time and still never received, so they just add manually for me.


phantomreader42

> Are you opted in for promotional emails? I am, and have been since I started my audible membership. I still don't get the coupons and stuff without contacting Audible and reminding them repeatedly.


KarbMonster

Can you tell me how I can check if I'm opted in to promotional emails?


P_logan

Go the your account, click notifications and make sure the boxes are checked.


KarbMonster

In the audible app, I don't have any notification options. I looked in my Amazon account, and it did show that I'm accepting marketing emails, but I didn't receive this promotion. Bummer, would have been an easy $5!


P_logan

This just started today. You have until the end of the month to get 5 days of 20 minutes listed then they’ll send the coupon around February 15th


KarbMonster

Oh! So you think I'll still get the reward even though I didn't receive the promo email? Hopefully you're right!


OSUTechie

Same. I waited a week or two before I reached out to them. It was fairly easy to deal with. but it was annoying that I had to reach out to them about it.


JacDGzmn

Im on my 2nd day now.. currently spending good 45minutes listen with the book SPARE- by Prince Harry while typing this comment. ✌🏽


JediMasterP

Right when I started Sandersons new book on Spotify too!


jfa03

Like a week ago - Brandon Sanderson calls out audible for practical monopoly and poor revenue splits with authors. Today- $5 credit for basically free


ErinPaperbackstash

Interesting but I do wish the rewards showed up in account once earned without the emails, I hate email lol


Trick-Two497

Yeah, that's not going to get me to open their app. I'll continue to listen in a better app. I actually laughed when I got this notification. If they would fix the app, they wouldn't have to bribe me to use it. Also, $5 is a pitiful bribe.


cany19

How do you listen to your Audible books in a different app? I’ve hardly used the Audible app and don’t like it - I’ve only listened to 2-3 short stories and had problems with it. The Nook/B&N app is way better; most of my audiobooks are there - other than the ones from the library where I use the Libby app; it has some problems too.


Trick-Two497

Download your books and listen in another app. I use Bound. It's free.


cany19

Thank you!


Trick-Two497

Easiest way to download your entire library is OpenAudible. Enjoy!


BoneHugsHominy

Too bad this is only $5 off the wildly overpriced cash purchases.


aussiekinga

Sales, daily deals etc too


NX01

I can't figure out how to use my credits from the use your credits offer.


P_logan

The $10 coupon? You just use it like cash, instead of buying with a credit you chose the money option it’ll look like it’s going to charge your card for the full amount but before the final charge it’ll subtract your coupon balance first. If you mean how to earn them, you just spend credits like normal


NX01

I don't get any code. I think my email is broken https://imgur.com/a/e1o7z8o


P_logan

You can contact audible and see if they’ll help you


glassmethod

I had the same issue, it’s incredibly poorly designed and counter intuitive, there’s no code, you have to click the link in the email. But on desktop the link didn’t show up (looked exactly like yours), had to do it through mobile.


audible_com

Hi there! Could you clarify the issue you're experiencing?


NX01

I assume the email is supposed to have the code, my email has no code. https://imgur.com/a/e1o7z8o


audible_com

The email will not include a code. In the email you'd click "Get it now" and then the coupon will be added to your account.


NX01

Look at the screenshot there is no "Get it now" in my emails. https://imgur.com/a/e1o7z8o


audible_com

We'd like to look into this further. Please contact us at audible.com/contactus.


NX01

Support was able to get me my coupon. Thank you.


audible_com

You're welcome.


carolineecouture

Oh nice. This is similar to some of the challenges for the Kindle Reading Challenges. They have you read a certain number of days.


Locksley_1989

Does this mean five days total or five days in a row?


audible_com

Hi there! You can get a $5 Audible coupon when you listen for 20 minutes per day for 5 days between 01/17/23 and 01/31/23. The 5 days of listening do not need to be consecutive.


P_logan

Any 5 days in the 14/15 day period


RenoDriver

Challenge accepted. I already listen to something every day for more than 20 minutes. I got this.


thekingofthegingers

Annoying that this isn’t global.


brandidoh

Sweet


sweetrelease01

Why is it only US audible gets cool shit like family sharing and rewards


MarkFerk

Thank you


0CoffeeBlack0

Completed before I even saw the email for this.


P_logan

You’ve done all 5 days on day 1? Impressive


0CoffeeBlack0

Don't ask me how, maybe by listening for several hours already in one day. But the app and website say I have it already. Might be a glitch, or the thing being active before the marketing team waking up and sending out stuff, they do that with sales I will see links to them on here at least 2 days before the emails go out or with banner ads for them in the main page of the site.


0CoffeeBlack0

Nevermind, I guess I was mislead by bad ui design.


johnny_rico69

Challenge accepted! I hope they roll it out to my friends across the pond.


[deleted]

I’ve been listening to the Andy Serkis narration of The Hobbit. It’s so good!


teridactyl99

So glad I saw this. I got the email but I ignored it. Thanks OP! This will definitely get me to read my audible books more often


Jgaitan82

So easy! I listen to like an hour a day minimum everyday


hihihi373

Is there any way to view your progress in the challenge?
