Do I keep the audiobooks I purchased with Audible credits?

Yes, any audiobooks purchased with credits or bought outright are permanently yours and available in your Audible library forever, even after you cancel. You can also download them via the Audible app.

Can I pause Audible instead of canceling?

Yes, Audible offers a pause option where you can stop billing for 1-3 months. During the pause, you can still access your library but won't receive new credits. This is offered during the cancellation flow.

What happens to my unused Audible credits when I cancel?

Unused credits are available for 1 year after cancellation. After that, they expire. If you have multiple unused credits, consider spending them before canceling.

Retention Tips

We'd love to keep you as an Audible member! Before you go, remember that any audiobooks you've already purchased are yours to keep forever — your library doesn't disappear. If you're not listening as much as you expected, we can pause your membership for up to 3 months so you don't lose out on credits. Many members who pause come back when their commute or routine changes. Also, if you have unused credits, they'll expire within a year — let us know if you'd like to use them first.
