Clever Ways to Save

1

The 'It's Too Expensive' 50% Off Offer

During the cancellation flow, when asked for a reason, selecting 'It's too expensive' is the most reliable way to trigger a special retention offer. Audible will frequently offer you a significant discount (e.g., 50% off for 3 months) to convince you to stay.

2

Pause Your Membership for 3 Months

If you have a backlog of books to listen to, you don't have to cancel. Audible allows you to pause your membership for up to 90 days. During this time, you won't be charged, but you can still access your library and use any existing credits.

3

The 'Return a Book' Credit Refund

If you have an unused credit but don't want to lose it by cancelling, consider your recent purchases. If you're unhappy with a book you bought recently, you can often 'Return' it on the Audible website to get your credit refunded, which you can then spend on a different book.

Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist

You Keep Your Purchased Audiobooks Forever

CRITICAL: Any audiobook you purchased with a credit or with money is yours to keep and listen to forever, even after you cancel your membership. You will NOT lose your library.

You MUST Use Your Credits Before Cancelling

VERY IMPORTANT: Any unused monthly credits you have in your account will be permanently lost the moment you cancel. Make sure you spend all of your available credits before you complete the cancellation process.

You Cannot Cancel From the Mobile App

This is a common point of frustration. You cannot cancel your Audible membership from within the iOS or Android mobile app. You must log in to your account using a desktop or mobile web browser to access the cancellation page.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

What happens to my audiobooks if I cancel Audible?

They are 100% safe. Any book you purchased is yours to keep forever in your library and you can listen to it anytime, even without a membership.

What should I do with my leftover credits before cancelling?

You must use them or you will lose them. Spend them on any audiobook in the catalog. If you're unsure what to get, check the 'Bestsellers' or 'New Releases' section.

Can I still buy audiobooks from Audible after I cancel?

Yes, you can still purchase audiobooks individually at their regular price without a membership. You just won't receive the monthly credits or access to member-only sales.

Why can't I find the cancel button in the Audible app?

You must use a web browser. Log in to Audible.in on your phone's browser (like Chrome or Safari) or on a computer to find the 'Account Details' and 'Cancel Membership' options.
