              @leftspeaker2000: Hmmm, not sure if I signed up audible through Amazon.au or U.S. Maybe I'll have a crack.

        • bluey47 on 22/10/2018 - 13:08

          I had a long time US subscription. Noticed its cheaper in AUD so wanted to move. Noticed the transfer page said no longer available so I used the contact us page on the Audible.com.au site to ask if I can transfer.
          I received a reply saying it will take a few days. It ended up taking 4 days, received confirmation everything was transferred over to AU on 20-oct.

          Also when I look at my AU Audible Member details it says I am on "Audible 3-Month Discount Gold" "$8/mth for first 3 months, $16.45 per month thereafter."

          Very happy. US Subscription was costing $21.22 AUD a month after exchange and fees. Also they charged me the first $8 month immediately.

    • leftspeaker2000 on 10/10/2018 - 08:15

      I contacted Amazon yesterday and the rep said nope. This morning I get an email saying this.

      "We understand that you would like to take advantage of the Prime Members -1 Book Monthly Membership plus Free Echo Dot offer. After reviewing the details of the offer, current paid Prime Members who are new to Audible are eligible for this offer. Free Trial Prime Members are not eligible for this promo.

      We checked your account and found that you are not eligible for this offer as you previously enrolled with Audible monthly membership. Basically, for Prime members who are eligible for the offer, they will receive a email with a special link to sign up with Audible for AU$16.45"

      Shipping on Amazon :p

  • TaurusHead on 09/10/2018 - 14:25

    Silly question!!
    I am a Prime member on trail but got the email invite for Audible and Echo DOT offer.
    Am I eligible??
    Or can I cancel if I find out that I wasn't eligible and get my refund in 1-2 days??

    I clicked OP's link (was already signed into Amazon.com.au) and was eligible for the free Echo Dot. Signed up for Audible through that page, got a confirmation email and $59 credit towards a dot on my account.

    I have used the 30 day trial before but wasn't a current Audible member, I'm currently an Amazon Prime member - if that helps out anyone.

    Received my Google Home Mini from eBay Plus yesterday, now my whole house is bugged. Time to play some Despacito.

  • lufee on 09/10/2018 - 15:11

    Easy as!

    Prime member, got the email straight after signing up for audible via your link and bought the Dot for $0.

    • 18 on 09/10/2018 - 15:58

      u paid the $16 then got the email? How can u ensure u wwon't just be paying $16…

      • mcnugget on 09/10/2018 - 18:18

        Amazon give refunds easily, wasn't too worried.

        • pennypincher98 on 09/10/2018 - 19:19

          That's hasn't been my experience with them…

          Had to get my bank involved for a refund last time.

        • No Username on 09/10/2018 - 20:18

          The offer is valid only for Australian Amazon Prime customers currently on a paid membership who receive an email invitation from Audible to participate in the offer. Eligible participants must be new customers of Audible in Australia or New Zealand and who sign up for a paid Audible membership at the regular monthly price, currently A$16.45 at www.amazon.com.au during the Promotional Period. Renews automatically. Cancel anytime. Audible members will also receive one membership credit each month. This offer is not valid for customers who sign up for an Audible trial membership during the Promotional Period or for customers currently on an Amazon Prime trial membership.

          Not sure if you will get a refund if the link was unique.

          • TRAVELO on 10/10/2018 - 17:30

            @No Username: Went through to live chat and they gave me the refund straight away. Simply told them that I was charged the cost upfront when their audible.com.au site shows "After 30 days, Audible is $16.45/mo. Cancel anytime." It helped I canceled the same day I signed up. https://imgur.com/a/rtNqCh6

      • Miss B on 09/10/2018 - 20:51

        If the deal link tells you you'll get an echo dot for signing up to Audible you will. So if it doesn't say you'll get the echo dot don't sign up.

    • mcnugget on 09/10/2018 - 22:09

      $16! Worse case will get the Barefoot Investor and work out how to make it back.

      Confirmed Dot order for delivery Friday has me reasonably confident, sharing so those eligible and on the fence can have a go.

  • lolmao on 09/10/2018 - 15:42

    Just signed up from Prime, still not eligible.

    • pennypincher98 on 09/10/2018 - 19:20

      • lolmao on 10/10/2018 - 07:43

        yes

  • Shekster on 09/10/2018 - 15:42

    I've already ordered it and used up my credit but has anyone tried using the $59 credit on a gen 3 dot? Doubt it'd work but would definitely be a great deal if you could.

    Easy profit. Thanks OP!

  • addict on 09/10/2018 - 15:46

    I received the email.. was a past audible customer that has cancelled.

    The only challenge i already have a few to many Echo's at home.. Dont have any more rooms to add an echo dot to..

    …and for anyone looking for a worthwhile audiobook to grab with your credit, check out '12 Rules For Life - An Antidote to Chaos' by Jordan Peterson.

  • cloudy on 09/10/2018 - 16:26

    But it might save me money in the long run I’m guessing.

  • idonotknowwhy on 09/10/2018 - 16:47

    Audible is difficult to cancel. Even after going through the nags to keep me, they still charged me after a free trial.
    It's a hassle to get your money back, not worth the trouble IMHO (neg me if you disagree)

  • Schumi5 on 09/10/2018 - 17:30

    Like others, current prime member, no email invite, clicked on link and the offer appears. Echo ordered, eta Friday 12th October.
    are we able to cancel the audible subscription right away, or best to wait until the Echo arrives at least to make sure it comes

    • tobi3421 on 09/10/2018 - 18:07

      I’d just wait until your echo says shipped. Most safe that way

  • RangaWal on 09/10/2018 - 17:39

    unfortunately, I am on …. This offer is not valid for customers who sign up for an Audible trial membership during the Promotional Period or for customers currently on an Amazon Prime trial membership.
    Trial membership!

  • Snoovey on 09/10/2018 - 18:22

    Bonus ! I forgot to cancel my trial and so took advantage of the deal and then cancelled. Thanks for the reminder Amazon.

  • wildstone on 09/10/2018 - 19:36

    What would show up if the offer is there? It asks me to 'Start Membership' but can't see anything about an Echo Dot.

    • dm01 on 09/10/2018 - 19:42

      Best bet is to subscribe and see if one turns up in the next few months….

    • cloudy on 09/10/2018 - 20:24

      It should say you get a free echo. There is a comment before showing the promo. If you are like me, and you don’t see it, you are not targeted, and subscribing and paying will yield you nothing.

    • dm01 on 09/10/2018 - 21:21

      My previous comment was not serious, by the way. If you don't see the Echo notice, don't sign up.

  • rye on 09/10/2018 - 20:02

    Does this come in a separate email?

    • dm01 on 09/10/2018 - 21:24

      Yes, a seperate email. Subject line is "Redeem your free Echo Dot now". Both emails arrived within a minute of each other for me this afternoon.

      • goatwomble on 09/10/2018 - 21:25

        I don't think I was in the "targeted' group, so maybe I get nothing. Oh well.

        • dm01 on 09/10/2018 - 21:25

          Do you have Amazon Prime?

          • goatwomble on 09/10/2018 - 21:25

            • dm01 on 09/10/2018 - 21:28

      • Miss B on 10/10/2018 - 12:55

        • stickyfingers on 11/10/2018 - 14:17

          Ha. I actually am liking the Home Mini better except the microphones on the echo pick me up way better and I find “Alexa” more convient to say.

          • dm01 on 11/10/2018 - 14:39

            @stickyfingers: What do you have to say to activate the Home Mini?

            • stickyfingers on 11/10/2018 - 14:59

              @dm01: “Hey Google”. It feels way more clunky and unnatural.

              That might sound picky, but the extra syllables make it more complex to say and you feel the need to pause after saying it.

              “Hey Google… play Banks on Spotify”
              “Alexa, play Banks on Spotify”

              Saying those might give you an idea of what I mean by the hesitation to say it efficiently. “Alexa” is more like you’re asking your partner something, “Hey Google” or “Ok Google” feels like you’re taking to a computer.

    Am I reading this right:
    "Exchange for free. Swap any audiobook, anytime for any reason."
    So if I sign up for one month, cancel after 1st month, I can basically use the service and exchange that book any time I want and continue doing that as I please?
