Frequently asked questions
Do I keep my audiobooks?
Yes, all audiobooks you've purchased or redeemed with credits are yours forever, even after cancellation.
What happens to your credits when you cancel Audible?
Unused Audible credits expire the moment your membership ends, so spend or gift them before you cancel — you won't get them back if you resubscribe later.
Can you get a refund after cancelling Audible?
Audible refunds are handled case-by-case through customer support and generally only cover charges from the last 30 days. Cancelling stops future billing but does not automatically refund the current period.
How to cancel Audible on Amazon versus the Audible app?
The Audible mobile app hides the cancel option, so go to audible.com/account in a desktop browser (or amazon.com → Memberships & Subscriptions) and end the membership there. iOS App Store subscribers must cancel through iPhone Settings → Subscriptions instead.
