The offer is still in place at the link--or it's back. The same page has an offer of a lifetime subscription to Beelinguapp for 40 USD.
Also, the free material from McGraw Hill's audio study player may be available for a limited time. It's offered through a web app that uses Flash, and Adobe keeps sending me messages saying that Flash is only supported through the end of the year, plus asking if I would like to uninstall it now if I'm not using it. https://www.mhlanguagelab.com/
The most useful material I've found is almost two dozen short stories from the Stories from... series (Latin America, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain). Each has an introduction in English, followed by a reading by a native speaker of Spanish. The book series contains parallel Spanish/English texts, and the web app has copy-and-pasteable text in both languages, which lends itself to DIY parallel texts. Conveniently, for those who want to squirrel this material away for future use, if you start playing the first track from each book, the player continues through all the subsequent tracks from that book. And if you Select All the text for one story, for copying it, all the text in the next story is automatically selected when the player moves on to it.
To find the Spanish readers, go to the Spanish section and scroll down to "Readers" under "1 Select Category/Artist"
