How to Gift an Audible Book, Membership & Credits

Part 1. How to Gift an Audible Audiobook

Gifting an Audible audiobook to someone, whether it's a family member, friend, or colleague, is easy thanks to Audible's "Give as a Gift" feature. This feature has become popular since the "Share this Book" option was retired, allowing users to send specific audiobooks as gifts - no Audible or Amazon Music account is required for the recipient. It's a great way to share your favorite books or even pre-order an exciting new release for someone special.

For the recipient, all they need is a valid email address to receive the audiobook. As the giver, you'll need an Audible account, but you don't have to be an Audible member. If you do have a membership, you can either use one of your credits to gift the audiobook or purchase it directly with a credit card.

Before gifting, keep these important notes in mind:

1. On your mobile or desktop, go to Audible.com and log into your account.
2. If you already have an audiobook in mind, you can find it quickly:

   

   • To browse for new audiobooks, go to the Audible's Gift Center on the site. You can use the navigation options and click on Browse > Audiobooks to explore the collection. Search for any title, or check curated lists like "Trending listens," "Most gifted titles," or seasonal picks such as:
     • Top 10 Audible Audiobooks for Halloween
     • Top 5 Audible Audiobooks for Christmas
   • If the audiobook is already in your library:
     • Click on Library > All, and use the search bar to locate the title by name.
3. Once you've found the audiobook you want to gift, go to its details page.



4. Click on More options (usually near the purchase button) and choose "Give as a gift."
   Tip: Take a moment to listen to the audiobook sample. This will help you ensure whether the narration or the story matches what you want to share.



5. A pop-up window will appear with two delivery options:

   

   • Email: Audible will email the gift directly to the recipient.
   • Print: You can print the gift and hand-deliver it yourself.
6. Enter the recipient's name and email address.
7. In the "From" section, enter your name.
8. By default, the delivery date will be set to Today. If you want to schedule the gift for a later date, click the calendar icon and select the desired date.
9. Optionally, include a personalized message to make the gift more special. After writing your note, click Continue.
10. Review all gift details in the preview to ensure everything is correct.
11. Once confirmed, click Buy to complete the purchase.
12. After purchasing, you'll receive an email confirmation of your order. Be sure to check your inbox to confirm the gift was successfully processed.

That's it! The recipient will receive their Audible audiobook on the selected date via email or you can hand-deliver the printed gift.

Part 2. How to Gift an Audible Membership & Credits

If you want to give someone more than just a few audiobooks, gifting an Audible membership is a great option. You can do this by visiting the Audible Gift Center and choosing the membership plan that best fits the recipient's needs. For example, one of the most popular choices is the Audible Plus 3-month membership, which includes 3 credits for a total of $45.

For comparison, Audible also offers a 2-month Audible Plus subscription without credits for $7.95, which includes a 1-month free trial. But keep in mind, credits are only available with the Audible Premium Plus membership, which grants extra credits as part of the plan. The gift recipient will receive Audible Plus along with the credits included in the gift.

A friendly reminder: If the person you're gifting already has an Audible membership, the credits from your gift will be added to their account, but they won't automatically be enrolled in the gifted membership. For example, if you're gifting a 3-month Plus membership, the recipient will receive all 3 credits immediately, while their current membership remains unchanged.

To make the most of your gift, the recipient may need to create a new Audible account if they don't have one already.

1. Go to the Audible Gift Center on your computer or mobile device.
2. Select from the available options: 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month memberships.



3. Pick a delivery method:
   • Email: Audible will send the gift directly to the recipient's inbox.
   • Print: Print the gift to deliver it in person.
4. Fill in the recipient's name and email (or choose to print), and add your name in the "From" section.
5. By default, the gift will be sent Today, but you can choose a different date by clicking the calendar icon.
6. Include a note to personalize your gift, then click Continue.
7. Double-check all the gift details and click Buy to complete the purchase.
8. Look for an email confirmation to ensure the gift was successfully processed.

Part 3. How to Redeem a Gift on Audible

If you've received an Audible audiobook or membership as a gift, Audible offers two main ways to redeem your gift: via email or using a claim code. If you're already an Audible member, redeeming a gift won't replace or extend your current membership. Instead, you'll receive credits equivalent to the duration of the gift membership all at once and you can use them or purchase additional books at the member price. This way, you continue with your current plan and are billed as usual.

If you don't have a membership and are eligible for a 30-day free trial, you can use the trial to redeem the second recommendation. If you're not eligible for a trial, you can purchase additional titles at the regular price.

Note: Gift membership claim codes are case-sensitive. Ensure you enter the code exactly as it appears.

Everything You Should Know to Redeem an Audible Code

After receiving Audible codes, how to redeem an Audible code? This has been a concern for some Audible listeners. Here we give your simple guides.

1. Redeeming from Email

   1. Sign in to your email and find the message from Audible containing your gift.
   2. Click on the "Redeem gift" link in the email. If you received a physical gift, go directly to the Gift Redemption Page instead.

   

   3. Sign in with your Amazon or Audible account, or create a new one if necessary.
   4. Once you click "Redeem," a confirmation page will appear, indicating your audiobook is ready to listen to.
   5. Once signed in, your gifted audiobook or membership will be added to your account, and you're ready to start listening!

2. Redeeming with a Claim Code

   1. Locate and copy the claim code from your gift email or card.
   2. Go to the Gift Redemption Page.
   3. Paste or type the claim code into the designated field at the top of the page. Make sure it's entered exactly as provided.

   

   4. After entering the code, click "Redeem". A confirmation page will indicate that your gift has been successfully redeemed.
   5. Go to your Library on Audible to find your new audiobook. Refresh your browser or app if needed to see the latest addition.

Part 4. How to Find Gift History on Audible

To keep track of all the gifts you've sent, including audiobooks and memberships, you'll need to access your Gift History. This feature is useful for checking the status of your gifts or ensuring they've been delivered as intended.

1. On your desktop or mobile device, open your web browser and navigate to the Audible website.
2. Log in to your Audible account if you aren't already signed in.
3. Hover over the "Hi, [Your Name]!" greeting at the top of the page. A drop-down menu will appear. Click on "Account Details".
4. In the Account Details section, find and click on "Gift History" on the left side of the page.



5. You will now see a detailed list of all the gifts you've sent. This list includes information about each gift, such as the recipient, the title of the audiobook, and the date it was sent.

Part 5. How to Send Audible Books as MP3

While the "Give as a Gift" feature is a straightforward way to gift an Audible book, you might prefer to send Audible books in MP3 format for broader compatibility. This can be achieved using a powerful AA/AAX converter to convert your Audible downloads into MP3s or other formats, enabling you to gift audiobooks on CDs or other media without additional cost.

One major challenge is overcoming DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection, which restricts the use of Audible's AA/AAX files. However, tools like ViWizard Audible Converter can help. This software removes DRM and converts Audible files into MP3s quickly and efficiently.
