Audible is the biggest name in audiobooks, but even after hundreds of hours of listening, there are a few tricks lurking just beneath the surface. Here are some of the best ways to get the most out of your Audible experience and even save some money.

While you can buy audiobooks directly from Audible, the service also offers a $15/month subscription that gets you one credit toward a free book each month. If you listen to a lot of audiobooks, this might be a good deal. However, if you can spread one audiobook out over more than a month, you can save some money. Audible has a hidden Silver subscription that costs $15 every two months, instead of every month. You still only get one free credit each time your subscription renews, but if six books a year is enough for you, it’s a no-brainer.

The problem is that Audible doesn’t advertise the Silver plan. You can’t even sign up for it without asking. If you want Audible Silver, go to this support link . In the first section, select My Account. In the second section, select “Change or cancel my membership” from the first dropdown, and then “Upgrade/downgrade my membership” from the second dropdown. This will ensure that you reach the right person. You can then contact Audible via chat, phone, or email. Be aware that you may be turned down because Silver isn’t an advertised plan, but Audible is usually pretty accommodating.

If there’s a break between the releases of your favorite books or you don’t have time to listen, it’s nice to stop paying for all those credits you’re not using. If you cancel your subscription altogether, you’ll lose your credits. But before that happens, Audible offers to pause your account.
