The estimated reading time for this post is 3 minutes

Following in the footsteps of Kindle Rewards, Audible announced a rewards program for audiobook lovers. With this new Audible Rewards program, you can earn rewards for purchasing Audible audiobooks.

Like Kindle Rewards, the Audible Rewards program is not as straightforward as you might hope. But fortunately, The Wonder of Tech is here to help you avoid the pitfalls of the program and reap the rewards!

How the Audible Rewards Program Works

With the Audible Rewards program, you earn a $10 reward coupon for spending three credits on Audible books. You can earn a total of $40 of Audible reward coupons for spending your credits on audiobooks.

From Audible: “Audible Rewards is our new rewards program to help level up your listening. For every 3 credits you use, you’ll get a $10 reward coupon that will be delivered to you via email … Eligible customers may receive a maximum of four $10 coupons until the program ends on June 30, 2023.”

After you’ve spent three credits on audiobooks, Audible will send you a $10 reward coupon via email within 10 business days. Note that you must have opted in to receiving “Sales and Offers” promotional emails to get emails from Audible Rewards. You can check to see whether you’ve opted in (and then change your email preference settings) at your Audible Email Preferences page.

You can check to see how many Rewards you’ve earned at your Audible Member Rewards page.

Audible is owned by Amazon, so it isn’t a coincidence that both Kindle Rewards and Audible Rewards were launched so closely together. Like Kindle Rewards, Audible Rewards promises to have special bonus reward challenges that offer alternative ways to earn rewards.

Unlike Kindle Rewards, Audible Rewards aren’t given for the purchase of a book using cash. You can only earn Audible Rewards by using credits.

Redeeming Audible Rewards

After you’ve spent three credits and earned a $10 Audible reward coupon, you’ll receive an email within 10 days notifying you about your reward coupon. The Audible Reward email will have instructions about how you can redeem your reward coupon.

You can redeem your Audible reward coupon when purchasing an audiobook at audible.com. Note that you cannot redeem an Audible reward coupon when using the Audible app for iOS (iPhone/iPad) or Android.

Select an audiobook you want to purchase on Audible’s website and add it to your Cart. Select the option to purchase with money (instead of using a credit). At checkout, you should see your reward coupon applied to reduce the price of your audiobook.

Audible reward coupons are valid for 14 days and you can use more than one Audible reward coupon to purchase an Audible audiobook.

Availability of Audible Rewards

Unlike the Kindle Rewards program which is currently in beta testing, Audible Rewards are available widely. Kind of…

Audible Rewards are available to all U.S. Audible Premium Plus and Silver members. So if you live in the U.S. and are an Audible Premium Plus or Silver member, you are eligible to earn Audible Rewards when you use your credits. You don’t need to sign up, you’re automatically enrolled in the program.

The Audible Rewards program launched on November 15, 2022, and runs until June 30, 2022.

If you’re a Premium Plus or Silver member of Audible and have spent Audible credits since November 15, you should check your Audible Rewards page. You may have already earned a $10 Audible reward coupon!
