Audible Members get $5 coupon with select pre-order, including The Hobbit

The Hobbit is not pre-order (it's available immediately) but is part of the promotion, their support assured me that if I don't get the coupon I can reach out at the end of the month to have it manually credited. There are some other nice pre-orders available.

I'm looking forward to both the next Bobiverse book and Ready Player Two! Terms say one $5 code per account. My membership is "Discount Audible Premium Plus Annual—12 Credits" which I hope is eligible. Does anyone know specifically which email list we must be subscribed to to be eligible?
I have the same question. I did the trial and then cancelled but preordered both of them as well.

Me: I pre-ordered two books last month and both have now been added to a "pre-order now, get a coupon for $5 added to your account". I was wondering if, since I already pre-ordered both books if I could be credited the credit? Thanks.

They asked and I provided order info. They then wrote back.

Audible:
I have just checked and would like to inform you that this offer is only for our Audible Premium Plus members. Since you're not an Audible member so your account isn't eligible for this offer. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

All books are still pricier than 1 credit...
But you should be able to pre-order with a credit. There isn't any stipulation that says you must pay with cash that I saw.

Ready player one was among my favorite audiobooks and this is the first I'm hearing of a book two. Thanks op! After seeing that, I continued down the list looking for Doors of Stone but something tells me that Rothfuss never planned to release it. If Brandon Sanderson can crank out stormlight archives in between other huge books why do we have to wait over 10 years for a sequel? Maybe Sanderson will take it over like wheel of time so at least I can get some damn closure.

Why would you preorder an audiobook? Do they limit the amount of people that can download it or something? I feel like I'm missing something here lol

Will we get this if we already have one of these pre-ordered?

I had the Brandon Sanderson pre-ordered so I cancelled it and ordered again.

I do it because I can pre-order now while I'm a paying member and then let my subscription lapse. I'll still get the books.

Another reason might be because you have credits stockpiled and they're going to expire (you should probably consider whether you need the subscription).

Otherwise it's in the same category as pre ordering digital video games. You do it because you are sure you want it and you want it on day 1 without having to think about it then.

Thanks for the heads up. I had already pre-ordered A Time for Mercy. Chatting with customer support, they said I would still get the credit and emails would be sent out 9/30 with the coupon link.

I had already made one of these pre-orders and asked customer service whether or not I qualified for the coupon. They responded with: "I have checked. Your account is eligible for $5 coupon. You will receive an email with $5 coupon on or around 9/30/20."

So there should be no need to cancel and re-order - but you might want to get confirmation if the $5 is worth your time...

I contacted audible and spoke with the customer service agent. It stipulates that an email with the $5 credit will be sent after September 30th with that promotional code to be used on the account.

So Heavens River is now no longer a pre-order since it's available. It's still on the promo site though so it should count if you buy now? Or no?

FYI, I contacted Customer Service and they just replied (in part):

"Yes, I've checked that you've pre-ordered a book "Heaven's River: Bobiverse, Book 4" on Monday, September 21, 2020 that was under stipulated time period, so certainly you're eligible for $5 coupon. It seems due to any glitch the coupon was not added to your account. We are truly sorry for this."

In order to make thing right for you, I've added $5 coupon from my end. Validity of this coupon is 12/04/20."

I suggest that everyone needs to contact CS, rather than wait. Looks like they dropped the ball.
