Premium Plus member discount no longer a fixed 30%
Audible's Premium Plus page stopped promising 30% off extra audiobooks; the member discount now varies by title
What changed
- Discount on extra purchases
- Was Before: “a 30% discount for any additional content you purchase from the Premium catalog”
- After: “exclusive sales and discounts for any additional titles you purchase”; the discount varies by title
What this means for you
Premium Plus members still pay less than non-members for extra audiobooks, but no longer get a guaranteed 30% off: some titles are discounted more, others less.
What you can do
- Check the member price on a title's page before buying an extra audiobook with cash
How we know
An archived copy of the Plans & Pricing page from Aug 23, 2023 promises Premium Plus members 30% off extra purchases.
By Oct 4, 2023, an archived copy promises only exclusive sales and discounts, without the 30% figure.
Audible's help center now says the member discount varies by title, but always beats the non-member price.

Full research notes
Archived copies of Audible's US Plans & Pricing page through August 23, 2023 say Premium Plus "unlocks a 30% discount for any additional content you purchase from the Premium catalog", and its FAQ lists "a 30% discount on additional audiobook purchases, as well as 2 for 1 deals, and exclusive sweepstakes". By the archived copy of October 4, 2023 the same page says Premium Plus "unlocks exclusive sales and discounts for any additional titles you purchase" and the FAQ says "an exclusive discount on additional purchases, as well as access to 2 for 1 deals"; the 30% figure is gone. Audible's help article on the Premium membership (live check September 26, 2026) says: "The discount varies by title, so you'll save more on some audiobooks and less on others—but you'll always pay less than the non-member price." No announcement was found, so the date is the first archived copy without the 30% wording (on or before). Prices were unchanged ($14.95/mo for 1 credit).
