Thinking about taking a break from your audiobook subscription? You’re not alone. Life gets busy, and sometimes a monthly membership isn’t the right fit. The process of canceling Audible can feel a bit hidden since it’s part of your larger Amazon account, but it’s actually quite straightforward once you know where to look.
Let’s walk through the simple steps to cancel your Audible membership directly through Amazon, ensuring you don’t get any unexpected charges.
Finding Your Audible Membership Settings
The key to canceling your Audible membership is navigating to the right place within your Amazon account. You won’t find a cancel button on the main Audible website; you need to go through Amazon’s account management page. Start by logging into your Amazon account on a web browser. This is easiest to do on a computer rather than a mobile app.
Once logged in, hover over ‘Account & Lists’ in the top right corner. From the dropdown menu, click on ‘Memberships & Subscriptions’. Here, you’ll see a list of your active recurring payments, including your Audible membership.
What Happens to Your Credits and Books
A common worry when canceling is losing your purchased content. Here’s the good news: any audiobooks you’ve bought, including those using credits, are yours to keep forever. They remain in your library even after your membership ends. However, any unused credits will be lost upon cancellation, so it’s a great idea to use them first.
Take a moment to browse your wish list and use those credits on titles you’ve been meaning to get. Once you’ve spent your credits, you can proceed with cancellation without losing anything.
Completing the Cancellation Process
Back on the ‘Memberships & Subscriptions’ page, find your Audible membership and click ‘Cancel Membership’. Amazon will likely offer you an incentive to stay, like pausing your membership or a discounted rate. If you’re sure you want to cancel, simply continue through the prompts.
The site will ask you to confirm your choice and may request a reason for leaving. After you provide this final confirmation, you’ll receive an email verifying that your Audible membership has been canceled. You’ll still have access to your full library of audiobooks through the Audible app or website.
And that’s all there is to it. By following these steps, you can easily manage your subscription and make sure it fits your current needs. Your audiobook collection is safe and sound, ready for you whenever you want to listen.
