Hi Sieghard, I have a Platinum membership. I elected to pay the annual amount up-front, and they gave me the 24 credits for the year immediately. I like this flexibility much more, when there's a 3rd or even 4th book I want to read in a month. Give them a call to discuss.

Hi Kawal, Are you subscribed with a monthly membership? I have never seen an option to purchase 12 or 24 credits when I log in to Audible.com with my user name and password. I have the Platinum Membership which is $22.95 US a months and for that I get 2 credits which means just under $11.50 per credit and since just about all books are 1 credit it's basically $11.50 a book.The prices you mentioned for 12 or 24 credits are quite a bit lower even if I convert them to US Dollars. As a member I often get promotions where I can buy 3 extra credits for $34, so basically about the same, about 11.35 a credit and of course the best offers are those occasional sales when they have a list of 100 or 200 books for $4.95 a book or the "Buy 3 books for 2 credits" promo which sometimes happens. I guess maybe they have different offers in the UK as they have here in the US/Canada.
