Audibles Prime Day deal is live: Get 3 months of Audible Premium Plus for free

SAVE $44.85: Prime members new to Audible can score their first three months for free when they sign up for Audible Premium Plus through July 31. Usually $14.95 per month, that saves you $44.85 in total.

It's officially the best time of year to be a Prime member. Yes, I'm talking about Prime Day, the official shopping holiday of the summer. This year, it's four days long and runs from July 8 through 11. But in true Amazon fashion, deals are already popping up weeks in advance. That includes one of our favorite annual deals: free Audible Premium Plus.

Through July 31, Prime members that are new to Audible can get their first three months of Audible Premium Plus for free. Typically $14.95 per month, that's a total savings of $44.85.

A Premium Plus membership unlocks access to hundreds of Audible Original audiobooks, exclusive access to members-only sales, and a credit you can use each month to purchase premium titles (regardless of the price). At the very least, you'll be able to enjoy three premium titles (including new releases and bestsellers), plus an abundance of included titles and Audible Originals, without spending a cent. And that's a big deal, as books are not cheap. Once the three-month promotional period runs out, you'll automatically be charged the full price of $14.95 per month unless you cancel.

If you've ever been the slightest bit curious about whether audiobooks are for you, this deal is a great opportunity to test the waters. I actually fell down the rabbit hole myself thanks to a similar three-month deal last year, and I've never looked back. I've read two dozen books so far this year, and I owe a great deal of that to Audible's Premium Plus membership. And truly, what do you have to lose? It's free (as long as you're a Prime member).

Not yet a Prime member? You can sign up for a free 30-day trial and take advantage of this three-month Audible Premium Plus deal, as well as all the Prime Day perks.
