Best Audible Tips and Tricks You Want Know

You may be new to Audible or have used Audible to listen to audiobooks for some time. But I am sure this passage is useful for most people which will inform you some information to save money you do not know about Audible.

1. Change to Audible subscription silver plan

The Audible golden plan subscription membership will help you get 1 free credit every month as well as other special offers at $15/month. However, sometimes you may be too busy to listen to 1 audiobook every month, then it is better to change to the hidden silver plan. With the silver plan, it will only charge $15 every two months for 1 credit, this will help you save a fortune for the long run. To switch the plan, you can head to the Audible live support as there is not such an option offered in public.

2. Sign up for the free trial with 1 free credit

Audible offers 30 days of free trial for new users to learn more about Audible audiobooks. By signing up for an account, you will get a free credit automatically and you can use the credit to redeem a favorite Audible audiobook you want. Besides, after the trial period, you will still keep the Audible audiobook you purchased with the free credit. This offer is only for new Audible members. If you have already used the 1 free credit in the past, it won't work for you again.

3. Pay attention to special deals

Audible offers many deals from time to time such as the daily deal on the Audible home page. Usually you can spend a very low price to get the Audible audiobook. Check it regularly to see if there is one book that attracts you. Also, you can sign up for the Daily Deal to get emails about daily sales. In this way, you won't miss any special books you want.

4. Return Audiobooks you don't want

The great listen guarantee feature lets you exchange books you don't love. This ensures that you don't waste any money on any audiobooks. If you find any audiobooks you don't want within 1 year, then you can go to the account details page and click the purchase history menu. From there, you can find the order that contains the book and click 'Return'.

5. Suspend account until need it

Sometimes if you are just busy with other things such as examinations etc., you may not have time to listen for a while, it is nice to stop paying for the subscription you aren't using. Instead of canceling the membership, Audible allows users to put the account on hold once a year for up to three months. During the period, you will still be able to listen to your purchased audiobooks, spend your credits, and get discounts from the Audible store.

6. Convert Audible audiobooks to MP3

Audible files are protected and in AA/AAX formats. You have to authorize them on the devices with the Audible apps before playing. It will be a big annoyance to keep authorizing the devices. If you are tired of this annoyance, you can use an audiobook converter, TunesKit Audible AA/AAX Converter for Windows/Mac, to help you convert AAX to MP3 windows 10 to play freely. Here is the full tutorial: How to convert Audible AA/AAX to MP3.

7. Add audio upgrades for Kindle books

With WhisperSync, you can sync your Audible and Kindle books to pick up wherever you left off. So, when you buy a Kindle book, it is better to buy both the textbooks and audiobooks together. Most of the time, they offer the option to buy the Audible and Kindle books as a bundle at a super low price. For the Kindle books purchased already, you can use Matchmaker, which is a great tool to scan your Kindle library to find out if they have an audiobook counterpart. If yes, you don't need to buy the audiobooks at the original full price but just get them at a discount price.

8. Cancel membership to get a special discount

If you click the cancel membership button, the Audible website will try to keep you by offering up to a 50% discount for 3 months. This is is also available for the users who have used the 30 days free trial offer. With the 50% off gold membership, you can get 1 credit every month and you will only be charged as low as $7.49 every month. And there are other discounts like Audible student discount.

Summary

These are the 8 most helpful tips for anyone who uses Audible. Hope that you can acquire something from reading this passage.
