If you have a friend or family member that enjoys listening to audiobooks, gifting them an Audible subscription is a great way for them to keep up with their favorite authors and genres. Unlike traditional books, audiobooks are portable and can be listened to on almost any device. Audible also allows its users to keep their titles after their membership ends, so they can listen to their favorites again and again. This is especially helpful for those who struggle with reading or have learning disabilities like dyslexia and ADHD.
Buying an Audible gift membership is easy and convenient. Audible’s website has a search bar that allows you to easily find the perfect book for any occasion. Once you’ve found a book, tap the thumbnail to view the full product details. If you’re satisfied that the book is what you want to gift, click “Give as a Gift”. You will be directed to a new page with two options; sending the audiobook via an auto-generated email or printing it out as a gift voucher and handing it to your friend or family member in person.
You can choose from a variety of cards to personalize your gift. The card you select will depend on how many credits you wish to purchase. Once you’ve selected a card, enter your giftee’s information and add a personal message before you complete the payment process. Once your payment is complete, you will be directed to a thank you page and an email confirmation.
Gifting a subscription gives the giftee unlimited access to Audible’s Plus Catalog of thousands of additional audiobooks and podcasts. The recipient will also have the option to buy credits for their account if they are running low. The Audible gift subscription will also let them enjoy exclusive deals and discounts reserved for members only.
If you’re giving an Audible membership as a gift to someone who already has an Audible account, they can redeem the membership by signing into their account and following the link on the welcome screen. If the person you’re gifting does not have an Audible account yet, they can create one by clicking on the “Redeem gift” button.
When a person redeems an Audible gift membership, they will be presented with a welcome screen that confirms their membership details and credits. If they’re a new member, their first credit will be added automatically. If they’re an existing member, their credits will be applied to their existing membership. Whether the giftee has an existing membership or a new one, they will not be charged again for a membership after their gift credit expires. They can check the exact expiration date of their credit through their Credit Summary page. Depending on their plan, the gift credit may expire as early as one year after it was issued. However, if the person has an active membership and they purchase a book with their gift credit, it will remain valid for as long as their account is active.
