Important Things to Know Before Cancelling Audible

Posted by

If you’ve decided to cancel your Audible subscription, whether after the free trial or to save money, here’s a simple guide to help you.

Key Points to Remember

  • Use Your Credits: Before canceling, make sure to use any unused credits. Once you use Audible credits to purchase something, it’s yours to keep forever, even after cancellation.
  • Website Required: You need to go to Audible’s website to cancel. Using the app typically won’t allow you to complete the cancellation.
  • Potential Offers: Audible may offer promotions to encourage you to stay, such as a free month, discounted rates for a few months, or a year of Audible at a lower cost than your usual subscription.
  • Subscription Cycle: Your subscription will remain active until the end of your billing cycle. For example, if you cancel on the 4th but your billing date is the 12th, you’ll still have access to Audible until the 11th.

Steps to Cancel on a Computer

  1. Visit Audible.com.
  2. Look for the greeting at the top of the page that says, “Hi, [your name].”
  3. Click on “Account Details.”
  4. Click on “Cancel Membership.”
  5. You may be prompted with a few screens asking for confirmation, and occasionally, Audible might offer a retention deal.
  6. If you wish to proceed, keep clicking “Cancel” until the process is complete.

Steps to Cancel on a Phone

  • Open the Audible app on your phone.
  • Tap the menu button (three lines or dots).
