If you decide not to continue with your Audible subscription after the free trial or wish to save money, here’s a simple way to cancel it.
Important Considerations:
Before you cancel your Audible subscription, keep the following in mind:
- Use Your Credits: Make sure to use any unused credits before cancelling. Once you buy something with Audible points, you own it permanently, even after cancellation.
- Website vs. App: To cancel your account, visit the Audible website. The app typically doesn’t support cancellations.
- Possible Offers: Audible might present deals to prevent cancellation, such as a free month, discounted prices for a few months, or a yearly plan at a lower rate than your current subscription.
- Payment Cycle: Your Audible subscription remains active until the end of your payment cycle. For example, if you cancel on the 4th and your payment is due on the 12th, you will retain access until the 11th.
