What is an InstaCredit?

(App Only)

InstaCredits allow Audiobooks.com members to purchase and redeem a new credit instantly and without leaving the app.

As always, titles that you redeem a credit on (not VIP Rewards) are audiobooks you get to keep forever.

How Do I Use an InstaCredit?

1. Log in to the Audiobooks.com app

2. Browse through our Home page, your Wishlist, or your favorite genres to find your next listen(s)

3. From the audiobook page, simply click “Download.” Then follow the instructions to use and redeem an InstaCredit on that title

Please note that you can only purchase and redeem an InstaCredit when your account is out of credits.

Finding a gift for the book lover in your life can be surprisingly difficult. The obvious option, gifting books, gets complicated when you don’t have access to what they’ve already read and what’s at the top of their TBR list. And though gift cards are always an option, they can lack the personal touch that shows how much you care.

Luckily, gift shopping gets a whole lot easier when you can give that special someone access to over 250,000 titles, while also offering a thoughtful suggestion on what they’ll enjoy. Now that’s a book lover’s dream.

With 1, 3, 6, and 12-month prepaid subscriptions to Audiobooks.com, you can find the perfect gift for everyone. Click here to visit the Audiobooks.com gift center or check out some FAQs to get you started.
