When I had my US membership I had the Platinum and often bought the 24 credits all at once which gives you the best per credit price. I have to maybe check again, but definitely buying them as a 12-credit package was not an option when Audible Canada first came out and there was also only the Gold plan with 1 credit, no 2-credit a month plan was available. Amazon Canada also does not offer a family account where I could add my wfie to my account so she would also get Prime benefits. I was told it was coming at some point, but that was like a year ago at least.

When I had an Audible account, I did that because it was $149 for 12 credits, which cut about $2.50 off each credit price.

Yes, the Move is $399 in the US, I just checked to make sure and at Best Buy Canada as well as directly from Sonos it is $499 Canadian. In this case our Canadian price is actually a bit better than the current exchange rate which is sitting around $1.27 to $1.29, at $1.27 $399 US is $506.73 and $1.29 is $514.71. Another good example where things are in our favour is an Audible subscription, I am pretty sure the Gold subscription, 1 credit a month, is $14.95 US and it is the same $14.95 in Canadian currency at Audible Canada. But Audible Canada is only a bit over 2 years old if I remembe rcorrectly and prior to that Canadian customers had to get a US Audible subscription and we were billed in US Dollars which was converted by the credit card company and that was not a very good deal because credit card companies always charge a premium of at least 2 or 3% on top of the actual exchange rate and currently I would have paid around $20 Canadian for a $14.95 US Audible subscription. Unfortunately this is not always the case and I have seen many examples for products where the Canadian price is easily 20% or more higher then what it would be if you convert the US price to Canadian with the current exchange rate. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Kelly Pierce Sent: Saturday, March 6, 2021 6:48 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: New Sonos product about to be announced That's $573 in US currency.
