We all know Audible can be an expensive service, but thankfully there are always a few Audible promos and discounts you can take advantage of to get you up and running with a respectable library in no time.

Right now's a fantastic time to be checking in as Audible has just posted an awesome tie-in deal for the upcoming Amazon Prime Day event that offers new customers an extended three month trial. Previously, the trial only lasted a single month and this Prime Day Audible deal is also for the (usually) pricier Premium Plus subscription tier, meaning you'll get free book tokens as well as unlimited access to the Audible Originals library.

There's also an existing promotion for UK customers that lets them bag their four months of Audible for £3.99 right now, with a total saving of £16 overall. This is an old pre-Prime Day deal that's pretty good but it's worth noting that UK customers can also take advantage of that extended three month free trial right now, which might be a better option for you.

If you're already signed up, then Audible deals and discounts on monthly membership fees tend to be pretty rare. Don't fret though, there are still some great promos available all year round on gift memberships and on books in the Audible daily deals section. To see what's available this week, simply scroll down to the Audible promo codes section further down the page.

Audible promo codes: how to save money

Audible promo codes tend to be pretty rare, so often the best savings are to be had around one-off membership promotions (such as the one included at the top of this article) or by getting a discount in the Audible deal of the day.

Most of the Audible membership discounts tend to revolve around new subscribers, so if you're an existing member it's extremely unlikely that you'll be able to knock some cost off next month's bill. Existing members, however, do have access to the audiobook deals section on the Audible site, where Audible tends to put up sales on a fairly regular basis. This Audible discounts can run anywhere from 10% to 30% discounts to $5 audiobook deals, so they can be a great way to save a little bit of cash on the side when used in conjunction with your 30% off flat storewide membership discount.

Other excellent Amazon services

If you've already got Audible but still want to save some cash, Amazon has a load of other excellent subscription services that you can check out for free. Everything's covered here, from movies, music, books to TV, and you're sure to find something of interest.

Most of these subscription services run a 30-day free trial, with a few even offering up to 6-months for free. All of these will require your card details to sign up to but remember you can simply cancel your subscription immediately and still get full access for 30-days - giving you a lot of time to check out the service without incurring any cost.
