Frequently Asked Questions

Do I keep my audiobooks after canceling Audible?

Yes. Any audiobook you purchased with credits or money is yours forever. You can still access them in the Audible app after canceling.

What happens to unused credits?

Unused credits expire when your membership ends. Use them before canceling. You can't get a refund for unused credits.

Why can't I cancel Audible in the app?

Audible only allows cancellation through their website (audible.com). The mobile app intentionally doesn't include a cancel option. This is a common complaint.

Can I pause Audible instead of canceling?

Yes. Audible offers a membership hold for up to 3 months. You don't get credits during the hold but keep your existing ones. This is offered as one of the retention options during cancellation.
