Do I lose my Audible credits when I cancel?

Yes — credits expire immediately when your membership is cancelled unless you use them first. The exception: credits from App Store or Google Play memberships don't expire and stay in your account after cancellation.

Do I keep my audiobooks after cancelling Audible?

Yes. Titles you bought with credits or a card stay in your library and remain accessible after your membership ends.

Does Audible refund unused membership time?

Generally no — Audible's terms say fees are non-refundable except in specific circumstances described in its Conditions of Use.

Can I pause Audible instead of cancelling?

Possibly. If you have credits you don't want to lose, you may be eligible to pause your membership instead. Look for the pause option in the cancellation flow or your account settings.

How to Cancel Audible (2026 Guide)

Here's how to cancel Audible in 2026 — a few clicks on audible.com, or through Apple or Google if they bill you. But don't rush past the gotcha: any unused credits expire the moment you cancel, so spend them before you hit the button.

Quick answer

Use your remaining credits first — they expire immediately on cancellation.
On audible.com, select your username in the top navigation.
Select Account details.
Select Cancel membership.
Select Continue to cancel on each screen until you see the confirmation page.

Cancel Audible on the web

Use this if Audible bills you directly (which usually means the charge appears from Audible or Amazon).

Sign in on the audible.com desktop site.
Select your username in the top navigation.
Select Account details.
Select the Cancel membership link.
Audible asks you to confirm — keep selecting Continue to cancel until you reach the cancel confirmation page. Stop early and you're still a member.

On a phone browser: open the main menu (the hamburger button), select your account, then Cancel membership.

Credits expire immediately when your membership is cancelled or terminated, unless you use them first. Exception: credits from App Store or Google Play memberships don't expire and remain in your account.

Cancel Audible on iPhone/iPad

If your membership is billed through the App Store, cancel with Apple — the Audible site can't do it for you.

Open Settings and tap your name at the top.
Tap Subscriptions.
Tap Audible.
Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.

Cancel Audible on Android

If you subscribed through Google Play, cancel there:

Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon (top right).
Tap Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
Tap Audible.
Tap Cancel subscription and confirm.

Before you cancel

Your books are safe. Anything you bought with credits or a card stays in your library after cancellation — Audible purchases are yours to keep.

Refunds: membership fees are non-refundable except in the specific circumstances in Audible's Conditions of Use. Don't count on getting the current month back.

Pause instead: if you're sitting on credits you can't spend in time, you may be eligible to pause your membership rather than cancel — that keeps the credits alive while stopping the monthly charge.

Check who bills you before starting: if your Audible charge comes through Apple or Google, the audible.com cancel flow won't work for you — use the store's subscription settings.

A smart order of operations: check your credit balance first, spend every credit, then cancel. Credits are the whole value of the membership, and they're the first thing lost in a rushed cancellation. If your renewal is days away and you can't decide, that's exactly what free trial reminders and renewal alerts are for — a nudge before the charge lands, while every option is still open.

After you cancel: keep the confirmation page or email, and glance at your next statement to make sure the recurring charges actually stopped. A membership that keeps billing after cancellation is a classic gray charge — easy to miss, annoying to claw back, and much easier to dispute with the cancellation date in hand. And if you're only cancelling to stop the monthly charge for a while, compare the pause option first — losing a credit balance to skip one month's fee is a trade that rarely works out in your favor.
