If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

If you want to save money at Audible, here are some tips and tricks:
- Free audiobook. If you're new to Audible, you can take advantage of its 30-day free trial to get a free audiobook (which you can keep). Make sure you mark in your diary to cancel if you don't want to continue with your subscription, otherwise you'll be charged £7.99/month.
- Consider buying a membership. If you listen to a lot of audiobooks, consider whether subscribing to a membership plan is worth it for you. The cheapest plan is £7.99/month, and gets you one credit each month, which you can exchange for any single-volume audiobook. As many audiobooks cost around £20-£30, this could be a decent saving.
- Listen to free samples. Before you commit to buying an audiobook, listen to a free sample online at Audible. If you've bought a book and not enjoyed it, you can also return it for a refund up to 12 months afterwards.
If you spot any hot deals we've missed (we're only human!), let us know on Twitter @MSE_Deals, or by emailing us at msedeals@moneysavingexpert.com.

Audible two free audiobooks (four if you've Prime)
Newbies only. When you sign up to a cancellable free trial
ExpiredIf you sign up to an Audible* free 30-day trial via this link before 10am on Mon 29 Apr, you can get two completely free audiobooks of your choice. Amazon Prime members can get a 90-day trial and four free audiobooks (see below).
Important: After your trial ends, you'll be automatically enrolled into a monthly subscription and be charged £7.99/month unless you cancel online*, so remember to cancel if you don't want to keep it – you can do this anytime during your trial, and you'll get to keep any audiobooks you've downloaded to your device.
The offer is available for anyone who's not had an Audible subscription, including a free trial, in the last 12 months.
If you've got a Kindle and prefer e-books, see MSE Jenny's MoneySaving tricks to get must-read Kindle books for FREE blog.
How does Audible work?
When you sign up for an Audible account, you get one free credit each month which you can use to purchase any audiobook available at Audible.co.uk or Amazon.co.uk – though with this offer you'll get two credits/audiobooks rather than the usual one – see 'More info' below for full T&Cs.
Once you've chosen your book, you can download it to your device via the Audible app, where it's yours to keep, even if you cancel your subscription.
Amazon Prime customer?
If you're an Amazon Prime customer, you'll get a 90-day free trial. You'll receive two credits when you open your Audible account, plus one credit at the beginning of each two remaining months on your free trial – so a total of four free books over the 90-day period.
We've checked with Amazon and sadly you can't get the four books for free if you sign up for an Amazon Prime free trial alongside the Audible trial - you'd have to pay for Amazon Prime for the second and third months of the Audible trial to receive the third and fourth free audiobooks.

Audible 3 audiobooks £3, eg, Gone Girl
Newbies only, via 99p/mth subscription. 100,000+ books
ExpiredMSE Update Wed 30 Mar, 10.45am: This deal appears to have expired early, we've asked Audible to fix the issue and we'll update you here when it's back up and running.
Go via this MSE Blagged Audible* link by 11.59pm on Thu 31 Mar to get a three-month trial for 99p a month instead of the usual £7.99 a month. The code MSE99WE54T should automatically be added when you follow the link above (if not you can enter it yourself).
This deal's for new customers to the subscription service only.
It allows you to download ANY audiobook once a month (so that’s three books in total) from its 100,000+ titles. So you'll effectively get three audiobooks (which you can keep) for £2.97. Titles include:
- Room by Emma Donoghue - usually £18.99 without an Audible membership
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - usually £24.99 without an Audible membership
- The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins - usually £21.99 without an Audible membership
- Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig - usually £9.19 without an Audible membership
- The Martian by Andy Weir - usually £9.20 without an Audible membership
- Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith - usually £19.99 without an Audible membership
- Paper Towns by John Green - usually £16.49 without an Audible membership
- The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt - usually £18.99 without an Audible membership
Important: After the trial you'll be charged full-price, but you can cancel in the third month before the fourth direct debit, which would be £7.99, comes out. You can either cancel online through your account, by emailing customercare@audible.co.uk or by calling 0800 469 2455.
You need to create an Audible account or sign into your Amazon account (it's an Amazon company). This deal is for new members to the subscription service only – so if you've bought a book as a one-off in the past without joining a membership plan, you can still get it.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How this site is financed.
