Note that this is the STANDARD membership level, and not the "Premium Plus."

The difference is that "Premium Plus" gives you 1 credit a month to use on any audiobook and you will 'keep' it unlock in your library, even if you cancel the membership later. "Standard" lets you 'select' one audiobook per month, and you can ONLY listen to it IF you maintain a membership. If you don't have a membership, then you can't listen to any books you got under "Standard."

I usually get the (what is now) Premium Plus level, but Audible changed their membership levels/options some time ago and I didn't look carefully and signed up for the Standard tier. Fooled me once, Audible...

Warning, this is the crappy plan without credits. When you decide to stop paying, you lose everything, you can't listen to the books you previously picked.

Op should explain that the standard subscription doesn't let you keep the monthly audiobook once paid membership ends. This recent new tier can be confusing, I'm sure people will see this and think it's like the free trials where you got a credit a month and you could keep what you bought with that.

FYI if you have a library card you can check out all the audiobooks you want from your local library using the Libby app.

Unfortunately a lot of audiobooks are going to Audible Only. Project Hail Mary for instance.

I mean, it's not like you've paid anything or lost anything but the <5 minutes it took you to sign up.

i cant seem to find the audible plus option. Could it be that Amazon got rid of it for this basic membership now?

Thanks for the heads up. Makes it not even worth checking if I'm eligible.
