I've never used Audible before. There is a free trial at the moment so I can't use the credit for this month. How do I buy a book and trigger the credit for this month?

SiriusXM: They offer a $5/month plan first year for car+streaming, but apparently you need a car radio to sign up. Trying to figure out a way around this.

I was pretty disappointed with this credit at first, but I just started a new job that is work from home 3 days/week and 1:40 train commute each way for the other two. This should be a great package to make the commute more enjoyable.​​​​​​

​​​​​​​In a way, I see intangible value in this credit (beyond the monetary value) in that I'll just use this four-service setup and save the time and effort in investigating the numerous programs out there. My time is way more valuable these days, and I guess this will save some (not that managing these credits is ideal, but that's more of a passive activity overall)
Smart guy. Have you figured out a way to use the SiriusXM credit yet? I would love to get all 4 services for $20.

I rather not expose myself to any more radiation than I have to.
