If I Cancel Audible, Will I Lose My Credits?

Audible is an outstanding subscription-based service that lets you enjoy your favorite audiobooks and podcasts anytime, anywhere. Owned by Amazon, Audible offers the world’s largest audiobook library and is available on both mobile apps and web browsers.

However, when you cancel your subscription, it’s easy to get confused about Audible’s credit policy. Depending on how you originally signed up, your remaining credits might be handled differently.

In this guide, we’ll clear up how Audible’s credit policy works when you cancel your subscription. We’ll also explain what happens if you decide to pause your membership. Let’s go over the details so you can manage your Audible credits with confidence!

Canceling Audible Subscription & Credit Policy 

Audible gives you several ways to cancel your subscription. You can cancel using:

• The Audible desktop site
• Amazon’s website

Whether or not you lose your unused credits after canceling depends on how you purchased your Audible membership. Below, we break down the two main situations so you’ll know what to expect.

↪ Yes, You Will Lose Credits If…

If you signed up for your Audible membership through the Audible website, any unused credits will be lost when you cancel your subscription. To make sure you don’t lose these credits, use them before your current billing period ends and then go ahead with the cancellation.

All audiobooks you purchase with your credits will stay in your account forever. You’ll still be able to access and download them at any time, even after your subscription ends.

↪ No, You Will Not Lose Credits If… 

If you buy your Audible membership through the App Store or Google Play Store, your unused credits will stay in your account even after you cancel. This means you can use your remaining credits to get audiobooks later, whenever you want.
