Amazon's Audible "gift membership" (3 month, 6 month, 12 month) is a complete scam!!!!! If you are already a member, you will continue getting charged personally, even if your using the "gift membership" (i.e.

the person gifting you hasn't given you a real membership, just credits, so you continue paying at the same time). Amazon refuses to change their verbiage and offers no other gift card option. The only way to avoid getting double-charged is to cancel your membership each time you switch between gift memberships, or from personal to gift. Amazon makes it confusing to intentionally make more money out of customers, without their knowledge.

I apologize for the rant, but I get disheartened when businesses, especially monster one like Amazon, cheat people!! Please read or share if you use Audible, or if you're gifting it to someone this holiday season!

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Monetary Loss: $200.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Audible Pros: Service concept.

Audible Cons: Mislead about the gift membership.

Location: 1 Washington Pl, Newark, NJ 07102, USA

I was just given a gift certificate because my daughter knows I am a huge supported of Librivox.com. The link is supposed to take me the where I can redeem the certificate but it seems I have to fully start up an account with providing all of my credit information in order to even find the place where I can redeem this certificate.

I am telling my daughter to reverse her credit card charges.

This is a complete scam and Amazon should be ashamed. - I am discusted.

Yes, this is really annoying and the nice family members who gave me a membership (I thought to extend my listening) are feeling bad. I'm paying money each month because of their gift.

Really shady and ridiculous. Would be so easy to program the system to do this and would indeed be a gift then.

Needless to say, after i listen to my next group of books, I'll be cancelling my membership. I don't believe in supporting businesses who do things like this.
