    Are you a paid member of Audible or doing a Free Trial?

    • de22 on 02/12/2019 - 16:43

      Paid

      • ONEMariachi on 02/12/2019 - 17:15

        Same here, got it as well. And scratching my head as to the "what's the catch" haha. I listen to like 50+ hours a month. An hour to get a dot seems to good to be true lol

        • BargainGhost on 02/12/2019 - 18:52

          Hopefully it’s not only for paid members.

  • codinghelloworld on 02/12/2019 - 16:17

    I am paid member and did not receive this :(

  • Krayzii on 02/12/2019 - 16:21

    Was just about to post this. I am "listening" now we'll see how long it takes for them to send eligibility email

    You can start new Trial and listen to audiobook for 1 Hour and you will receive email within 2 days.

    • smogg on 02/12/2019 - 16:56

      Have you got it? Looks like you need a targeted email to be eligible?

      T&C states this:

      The offer is valid only for select Australian Audible customers who receive an invitation from Audible to participate in the offer.

      Which I assume is what OP received. Great deal if it indeed works for new trials!

        Just contacted amazon support and that’s what they told me.

    • Squeezy on 03/12/2019 - 09:10

      Hopefully this works - started a trial and listened to Barefoot investor yesterday for a few hours

  • yht on 02/12/2019 - 16:53

    What about if you were a trial member previously?

    • BargainGhost on 02/12/2019 - 17:14

      support said it should still work if you had a book bought with the free credits you get with audible.

      • yht on 02/12/2019 - 21:34

        Ok, let's wait for 2 days for the email. I have 'listened' to a free book for more than 1 hr

  • oldhippy on 02/12/2019 - 21:07

    Got The Hitcher's Guide To The Galaxy (loved that show) on the free trial. Will see how it goes

    • spirrowhack on 02/12/2019 - 21:56

      I'm on free trial too, hoping it works!

      • oldhippy on 02/12/2019 - 22:01

        I actually downloaded it and played it for 2 hours, so not sure if that's a sample listening :)

  • yht on 02/12/2019 - 21:36

    It doesn't have to be a continous 1 hr right? I can pause and replay

  • Saruname on 02/12/2019 - 22:01

    I hope this works out for people who have been using it for a few years.
    I wouldn't mind an echo dot for free.

  • Doogan on 02/12/2019 - 22:16

    I am on a half price membership (tried to leave). I received this offer and am already being sent the alexa. I didn't realise it was for listening an hour. I am probably up 4 hours since yesterday anyway.

    • Karimov on 03/12/2019 - 08:34

      What else was the requirement other than listening for an hour as a member?

  • elcheapo on 02/12/2019 - 22:19

    I received this email too.. was previous customer few times, got Echo Dot during their "trial" membership, cancelled, and given extra 2 credits for staying, took it, and cancelled, and now another echo dot in waiting

  • UndeclaredFreak on 02/12/2019 - 23:22

    I just cancelled my Audiible membership after a year and a half last month sigh

    • hh10k on 03/12/2019 - 00:15

      I got this email today, but I cancelled a couple months ago. I can't see anywhere that says you need to be an active subscriber, only a member.

      • UndeclaredFreak on 03/12/2019 - 08:42

        That good for you :) Sucks for me, especially since I paid them so much money,

  • Teagan on 03/12/2019 - 08:04

    The T&C state:

    Eligible participants must listen (online listening only) to any Audible content in the month of December for 60 minutes or more (“Listening Threshold”) to be eligible for the complimentary device. Offline listening and sample listening will not count towards the Listening Threshold.

    Does anyone know what online listening means?

    • smogg on 03/12/2019 - 11:55

      I assume it means listening while connected to the internet. Offline = listening to downloaded audio books whilst not connected to the internet.

      • Teagan on 03/12/2019 - 14:11

        Weird my books auto-download onto the app - but ill make sure I have a internet connection when listening and see how it goes

      • yht on 03/12/2019 - 19:50

        How do you even listening it online whilst it is automatically downloaded when you press play?

        • stephenmac on 09/12/2019 - 11:56

          Does it mean cloud player? I listen on the app every day, but since it is downloaded, it wouldn't count as online.
          You can stream via the Audible website, so perhaps this is what they mean?

  • Steggy on 03/12/2019 - 10:17

    Just thought I'd confirm that it works using the app on your phone too.
    The prompt popped up on my screen yesterday, just checked my email and apparently it has already been shipped.
    feels a bit 1984 but she'll be right

  • Fooah on 03/12/2019 - 21:57

    Made an account, fingers crossed I get the prompt. Listened to barefoot investor for a few hours.

  • ShipShapeRC on 03/12/2019 - 23:50

    I can confirm you must receive an email first or you get nothing. I was logged into my audible account and a big banner asked me to follow these steps for the free echo dot. I did that. Contacted customer support and they say that even though my logged in account showed the banner with the steps. I get nothing.

    So even though the terms and conditions clearly stated you must be a selected customer and I was logged into my account and saw the detail on my home page - I am not a selected customer as I did not receive the email first. Therefore I get nothing.

    I feel like charlie at the end of the chocolate factory tour when he is told he gets nothing.

    Audible does not love me. This marketing effort has turned a once raving fan into a pee'd off ranter. My warm fuzzy feeling to the word audible now makes me feel sour.

  • spowellau on 04/12/2019 - 12:53

    Listened for an hour yesterday, received redemption email today. Eta for delivery is Monday.

    • yht on 04/12/2019 - 12:56

      Did you get the email offer previously?

  • smarter_fool on 04/12/2019 - 13:19

    Received email after I cancelled my account yesterday. I assumed that I was not eligible as I am not a member now but to my surprise received my free echo dot email this morning.

  • daven1985 on 04/12/2019 - 16:32

    I got it yesterday.

    I left an audiobook running in my browser yesterday for a couple of hours and got the confirmation today.

    Just placed my order.

  • BlamJam on 04/12/2019 - 16:52

    I got the email to claim the Echo Dot today but it came up with an error about a Country Setting (It was USA from a decade ago I guess). Got onto chat with Audible support who were aware of it and got given a credit after they escalated the issue.

  • Elderlymango on 04/12/2019 - 17:07

    Worth mentioning to check that you're not on a US account as this will not give you the offer. Finished off the last 4 hours of my book today only to remember I had a US account.

  • Fooah on 04/12/2019 - 20:31

    No email or prompt on the website, tried laptop and phone to listen to audiobooks. Have others enabled this deal while still in a 'trial' period?

  • Team Ozgiftcards on 04/12/2019 - 20:43

    Just claimed my echo today.

  • beaniebertie on 05/12/2019 - 11:52

    Can confirm no catch
    I received the email Monday, listened for an hour (even though I easily do that anyway), received the redemption email yesterday, no postage fees, should be arriving Monday

    • Fooah on 05/12/2019 - 20:49

      When did you do your 1hour listen and how long did it take for the email to come? Been waiting since Monday and no email.

      • beaniebertie on 06/12/2019 - 07:47

        I listened on Monday for an hour as soon as I saw the email, although I've since listened to more

        Mon, Dec 2, 3:34 PM - "FREE Echo Dot when you listen this December!"
        Listened for exactly 1 hour and 1 minute straight
        Wed, Dec 4, 12:35 PM - "Get your free Echo Dot. Thanks for listening!"
        Thu, Dec 5, 3:27 PM - "Your Amazon.com.au order of "Echo Dot (3rd Gen) – Smart…" has been shipped"

          Dam, I'm not getting the same treatment; I'll contact support and see if they can help me out as I did see the promotional page when I logged in on the PC.

          Thanks heaps for the detailed reply!

  • smarter_fool on 06/12/2019 - 18:57

    Ordered echo on 4th and received it this morning. That was blazing fast.

  • Ughhh on 06/12/2019 - 19:00

    Listen for over an hour, no email to redeem yet :(

    • TEER3X on 06/12/2019 - 19:04

      Did you get an email?

      This is a targeted offer

  • BargainGhost on 10/12/2019 - 11:45

    Didn’t receive after 7 business days.

    • hh10k on 11/12/2019 - 01:44

      Same. I contacted support and got this:

      We understand you are interested in our Echo Dot promotional offer but did not receive any email. We are sorry but the promotion is randomly selected by our system and we do not know on our end who are the selected participants. I have checked your account and I can see that you are eligible for the promotion. Let's just hope and see if you will be selected. We appreciate your patience on this matter.

  • luckylittle on 10/12/2019 - 18:06

    When i click on the redeem button, it says "You are not eligible for this promotion." - seems like it is broken, because i listened for more than 4 hours for sure.

  • de22 on 11/12/2019 - 16:53

    Got mine the other day. Mint 👌🏻😁

  • BrendaEagles on 20/12/2019 - 09:50

    I enquired and was advised "I'm really sorry, unfortunately we've reached our limit of 10,000 Echo Dots to give away", guess it was OzBargained!

  • fiveferrari on 23/12/2019 - 16:28

    To anybody who is not able to claim this, Push the customer care, I got 2 credits.

  • metalslaw on 24/12/2019 - 03:23

    Well, I've emailed support.

    I got the original email. Listened to a book within 30 mins of getting the email.

    Never got a redemption email… :/

    See what happens I guess.
