Hi, Whether you realized it or not, to get that free book, you subscribed to the gold program. You will be billed monthly on whatever card Amazon has on file. So, for about $15 per month, you get one credit to buy just about any book you want. The Platinum program gives you two credits per month and is a little less than twice as much.
But no, you do not need to subscribe to a membership program to use audible. You can pay the standard book price in cash and have that billed to your card, just like buying any amazon product. If you think you will use 12 books per year, then stick with the membership, if the book costs more than your monthly charge, you come out ahead. If the book costs less, then just buy it with cash and use your credit for a more expensive book. Tip, periodically try to cancel your subscription stating as the reason that it costs too much, and audible will often offer you a deal to stay. It is usually three months at half price. Best, —k Faith doesn’t give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions. .
