If you decide not to continue with Audible after the free trial or want to save money, here’s a simple guide on how to cancel your subscription.
Important Considerations
Before you cancel your Audible subscription, keep these points in mind:
- Use Your Credits: Make sure to use any unused credits before cancelling. Once you redeem Audible credits, the purchases are yours to keep, even after cancellation.
- Website Only: To cancel your subscription, visit the website (audible.com). Using the app won’t allow you to cancel in most cases.
- Possible Offers: Audible might present you with offers to prevent cancellation, such as a free month, discounted prices for a few months, or a yearly subscription at a lower rate than your monthly plan.
- Billing Cycle: Your subscription will continue until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancel on the 4th and your payment is due on the 12th, you’ll still have access until the 11th.
Steps to Cancel Your Audible Account on a Computer
- Go to Audible.com.
- Locate the greeting “Hi, [your name]” at the top of the page.
- Click on it and select “Account Details.”
- Choose “Cancel Membership.”
Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation. You may be offered a special deal to keep your membership—click “Cancel” repeatedly to complete the process if you’re not interested in the offer.
