We’ve nearly reached the end of Prime Big Deal Days. Sad but true, October Prime Day comes to a close tonight at 11:59 p.m. PDT (or the early hours of Thursday at 2:59 a.m. ET), and with it, some of Amazon’s top discounts.
Of course, Amazon is known for year-round deals, but this Audible deal only tends to come around a few times a year, and Prime Big Deal Days is one of those times (others being Prime Day in July and Black Friday).
For a limited time, new and eligible returning Audible subscribers can take advantage of a deeply discounted Audible Premium Plus subscription — which basically means you’ll get 3 audiobooks of your choice for just $3 total over 3 months. From memorable memoirs to fiction bestsellers to engrossing nonfiction, Audible has it all, and there’s no shortage of ways to learn and entertain yourself with Audible Premium Plus in your grasp.

While this deal is available to all with an Amazon account, we do recommend upgrading to the paid Amazon Prime subscription before October Prime Day concludes. A Prime membership costs $14.99/month or $139/year, and in addition to access to exclusive deals, you’ll gain access to free books on Prime Reading, the Prime Video streaming service, and so much more. Amazon also has Student memberships that grant qualifying participants the same perks for $7.49/month after a six-month free trial. With so many ways to save, there’s no reason not to sign up for a Prime membership today.
Audible Premium Plus
Audible Premium Plus is a monthly membership that costs $14.95/month and includes one credit per month to use on any audiobook the platform has. Additionally, there are thousands of included titles that don’t require credits, including Audible Originals, podcasts, and more.
Right now, your first three months will be just $0.99/month.
