The total amount was $31.50 and I have the receipt. I thought I was supposed to send Libro.fm a copy of the receipt to get a code to download the free audiobook. I went on line today and it doesn’t say how to redeem the offer. If there was a deadline to send the receipt I wasn’t aware of it. Can you please help me with this? Thanks!</p> </div> <div class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-98331" data-commentid="98331" data-postid="14119" data-belowelement="div-comment-98331" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Ron" aria-label="Reply to Ron">Reply</a></div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-99623" class="comment byuser comment-author-kelsey odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-99623" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dd7e75840d5ffb35cfd27971a5a4ed91?s=32&d=wp_user_avatar&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dd7e75840d5ffb35cfd27971a5a4ed91?s=64&d=wp_user_avatar&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-32 photo' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn"><a href="http://kelseynorris.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Kelsey Norris</a></b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://blog.libro.fm/thanks-for-giving-audiobooks/#comment-99623"><time datetime="2020-12-09T11:56:20-07:00">December 9, 2020 at 11:56 am</time></a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Hi, Ron.
