So I joined July 15 for the 3 month trial, got all my three credits. Haven't used them yet.

When I checked the details of my account, it says the next billing date is Oct 16, but my next free credit is Oct 15.

So it looks like I get one more free credit (4 total) before the end of the free trial. Am I reading this right?

That's what I'm seeing on my profile too! So I'm assuming that means I get 4 free books. However, I've yet to read anywhere online where it says you can get 4 free books from this sort of deal... it's always 3.

Good to know it is not just me! I guess many people have already cancelled after receiving the third credit.

I just realized that I get my free credits on the 16th of each month at 12:10am and not the 15th. I suspect it might be the same way here and even though they say we are going to get a free credit today, we'll get it tomorrow instead and have to pay a fee.

So unless you get a free credit, it might be prudent to cancel now.

I too cancelled today. Just in case it's useful to anyone here's what I was presented with when I cancelled online:

1) Option to "pause" for 30, 60 and 90 days (keep your credit balance during the pause).
2) Option continue at a reduced rate of $7.49/month instead of the $14.95/month for the next 3 months (still with 1 credit per month).
3) Option to still cancel.

After cancelling, you're only left with "Start membership, $14.95/month. Cancel anytime."

So, if you're someone who likes the product and plans to continue with a paid membership you can still save some money by starting the cancellation process then choosing option #2.

This is interesting. I dug up the emails I received from Audible and it seems the time you receive the credit is close to the time you first joined.

So I got the welcome email at around 8:30pm and got the emails for my last 2 credit at around 8:37 to 8:48 pm PST. So I'm hoping there will still be enough time for me to use the credit and then cancel.

Is yours eastern time? I assume Audible uses PST so you might still be ok.

I see what you're saying friend and that might work. But I'd rather not risk it. :) I've already cancelled. Let me know if you end up getting the 4th one.

NO!
It didn't work. :(
Didn't receive any credit. Then at around 9pm pst I noticed my account status changed from 90-day trial to 1 month membership, so I cancelled right away. I didn't have any credit card on file so should be ok.

The way they specified the dates of free credits and billiing I really thought I was gonna to get a 4th Confused Face

Man... almost thought we found another hack. I'm glad you didn't get charged!
