Smartphone on a wooden table displaying an audiobook app logo, representing an unethical life hack concept.
I have 4 different Audible accounts...1st to get the free book for singing up for each account, but now I just constantly rotate activating and deactivating accounts for a 'first 3 months (1 credit/book per month) for 99 cents per month promotion. As soon as I get my 3rd credit/book, I deactivate and reactivate a different account on same promotion. Sometimes they have deals where you can get 2 books for a credit too. I also, about every 3-4 books will 'return' a book, even if I read it fully and get a free credit /book since they let you do that.

Lower your car insurance collision/comp deductibles to $0 right before a snowstorm, or a roadtrip. After the weather/trip, raise the deductible back up. You’ll only be out a few dollars for the few days you had the lower deductible and in the event of an at fault accident, you pay nothing out of pocket.
