Yes, they do ask for a credit card when you sign up for a new account. However, they also have a Paypal option. I chose that option instead of registering a credit card and it didn't ask for a credit card number.

If you were able to use PayPal, that means you've already registered your credit card number with them (PayPal) and that's why they didn't ask for your number again! lol

HMMM... something that sounds to good is usually just that ...they say these are free short stories but just went and checked it out there is a charge on the page for .01 cent of which you have to supply a credit card number... I find this rather pathetic and it is no wonder that so many places are going under these days yea I want to pay 18% interest on a penny LMAO ....Have a good day barnes and noble I will continue to get my books from the library

Had you bothered to go a little further in the process, you would have seen the following....
"Note: To get your free Audiobook MP3 download, add this item to your cart. You'll receive a credit for your free Audiobook MP3 during Checkout"
Thus - it is is FREE...
Thinking before speaking is a great practice.

I think it is terrific, getting nine free audio books. I've had a member account with Barnes & Noble for years. I always get great service, and they are trustworthy. All you complainers out there don't know a good thing when it is offered to you.
Sure they want to interest new customers or old customers in purchasing audio books in the future. That's all right. That is just good marketing. But these are free, so enjoy them.
