An Audible membership is one of the best gifts for people who like audiobooks.

It allows the recipient to choose the audiobooks they want to enjoy while also giving them access to a curated selection of free audiobooks.

In this article, I will show you how to gift an Audible subscription and what are the benefits of an Audible Premium Plus membership for the gift recipient.

Before I walk you through how to buy an Audible subscription as a gift, here are a few things to know:

• You do not need an Audible membership to purchase a gift subscription for someone else
• Gift membership plans are available for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
• The credits that the gift recipient get as part of a gift membership expire 12 months after the issue date
• If the gift recipient is already an Audible member, they will get all the credits from the gift membership at once, without any interruption to their existing membership plan.
• Once the gift membership ends, the recipient will not be automatically charged for an Audible membership plan. If they wish to continue, they can subscribe to a plan anytime in the Account Details section or continue using Audible without a subscription plan

Now, let’s go over how to buy Audible subscription as a gift.
