Was considering gifting Audible for Christmas but no store seems to sell. Just curious, is it digital only or are there actual physical cards out there? level 1 There have been other posts about the cards being unavailable in recent months. And for those that have found the gift cards, the cashiers were not able to activate them. It seems Audible is phasing them out. level 2 Hi there! At this time physical Gift Cards aren't available. You can access Audible.com and purchase a Gift Membership. level 1 They did but I haven't seen them in months. Everytime I go into a place with giftcards I check. I was able to get them from Best Buy, then CVS then Rite Aid but they seemed to have stopped carrying them. If you can find them they are a great deal. The 3 months/ 3 credits for $30 are great. The 1 month/ 1 credit isn't as good of a deal. level 1 I know a lot of stores don’t sell Amazon gift cards because they don’t want the competition. I’m not sure if audible would be included in that but I can usually only find Amazon gift cards at dollar general and rite aid level 1 Audible.com has a Gift Center which is their portal for purchasing digital/email gifts using your existing Amazon.com credentials. You can purchase a subscription or a specific book as a gift. Unfortunately, they seem to have phased out the physical cards in the US. I'm not sure about other regions. Note: Be sure to purchase from the correct website as gifts do not cross marketplaces. Example: Audible Canada gifts are not compatible with Audible US subscriptions. level 1 Yes they do. You should be able to find them at most drug stores, Walmart, some supermarkets where they sell gift cards. For the last two years in a row I've received audible gift cards as a gift level 2 The gift cards have been phased out, in the US, in the last year. There are posts on this sub from people who have tried to purchase the cards only for the cashier to be alerted to issues or recalls at the register. level 2 Oddly enough I just can't find one, I've checked the major displays in places like Target and Walmart. Guess a Rite-Aid might have it. Thought I was imagining having seen them in the past, thank you level 2 Really! Where do you Live. I have not seen one In Years. I Have Check CVS, Walmart, Home Depot, Fry's & found Nothing level 1 They don’t seem to exist in the U.K. and Amazon gift vouchers are not usable. Complete joke of you ask me. I’m a heavy audible user and can never ask for a gift voucher from family. level 1 Used to see them at Best Buy a lot If you have family and friends who are voracious readers, they would most certainly prefer books as a gift – which is fantastic. Audible Gift Card makes such a wonderful gift for book lovers because the receiver can listen to them while doing various chores like cleaning the house, washing dishes, or walking the dog – effectively multitasking. It is also perfect for people who do not have a lot of space to store physical books. However, you can’t buy Audible Gift cards as presents, not even on Amazon.
