How To Buy Extra Books On Audible |
The Credit Crunch: When Your Ears Cry Out for More
We've all been there. You burn through your monthly credit like a dragon with a particularly spicy vindaloo. The shelves in your virtual library are overflowing, yet your ears crave something new. Here's what you can do:
-
The "Extra Credit" Caper: This is only for the die-hard Audible Premium Plus members (sorry, freeloaders!). If you've been a good listener (and by good listener, we mean you haven't gotten three credits suspended for questionable taste in historical romance novels), you might be eligible to buy extra credit bundles. Check the "Buy Extra Credits" link next to your name on the Audible website. But remember, with great listening power, comes great responsibility (and a potentially maxed-out credit card).
-
The "Gifting" Gambit: Here's a sneaky trick (but hey, it's Audible, not the CIA). If your birthday or, ahem, National Tell-Your-Friend-You-Secretly-Listen-to-Werewolf-Erotica Day is coming up, gently nudge your loved ones towards the glorious gift of Audible credits. You never know, a strategically placed social media post with a cough not-so-subtle hint might just do the trick.
-
The "Single Purchase" Showdown: This might be a shocker, but you can actually buy audiobooks on Audible without using credits! Gasp! Yes, it sounds crazy, but hear us out. While credits are great for budgeting, sometimes you just gotta have that one audiobook (you know, the one narrated by Morgan Freeman and it involves time travel and dinosaurs...don't judge). Just find the audiobook you want, hit "buy now," and brace yourself for the non-credit purchase.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is with Audiobooks)
-
The "Library Loot" Loophole: Don't forget your local library! Many libraries offer audiobooks through apps like Libby or Hoopla. It might not be the latest bestseller, but hey, free is free, and you never know what hidden gem you might discover.
-
The "Deal Patrol" Prowl: Keep an eye out for Audible sales! They happen more often than you think, and you might be able to snag credits or audiobooks at a discount. Think of it as Audible's Black Friday for bibliophiles.
So there you have it! Now go forth, conquer your credit crunch, and keep those audiobooks flowing. Remember, moderation is key (unless it's narrated by David Attenborough, then all bets are off). Happy listening!
