How Audible Gift Memberships Work
Audible gift memberships provide recipients with all the benefits of a Premium Plus membership. Each month, they’ll receive one credit that can be redeemed for any premium audiobook, regardless of price. These credits never expire as long as the membership remains active.
Recipients also gain access to the Plus Catalog, which includes thousands of audiobooks, podcasts, and Audible Originals available for unlimited streaming. According to Audible’s gift center, current members who redeem a gift membership receive all credits upfront while maintaining their existing subscription terms.
Why Audible Gift Memberships Make Perfect Presents
Unlike physical gifts that may go unused, an Audible membership provides ongoing value. Here’s why they’re increasingly popular:
- Flexibility: Recipients choose titles that match their interests from a vast selection
- Convenience: Instant delivery via email with no shipping required
- Portability: Audiobooks can be enjoyed anywhere through the Audible app
- Lasting Value: Credits can be saved for future releases
- Exclusive Content: Access to Audible Originals not available elsewhere
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I give a gift membership to someone who already has Audible?
A: Yes! Current members receive all credits from the gift membership immediately, while their existing subscription remains unchanged. This makes it a great way to give them extra credits for premium titles.
Q: How will I know if the recipient redeemed their gift?
A: Audible will notify you via email when your gift is redeemed. You can also check the status in your Audible account under “Gift Center.”
Q: What happens if I gift a title someone already owns?
A: Audible’s system prevents duplicate purchases. If you gift a title the recipient already has, they’ll be notified and can exchange it for any other audiobook of equal or lesser value.
Q: Do gift membership credits expire?
A: Credits from gift memberships follow the same rules as regular membership credits – they expire one year after being issued if not used.
