Are you looking to cancel your Audible membership? Maybe your listening habits have changed, you're on a budget, or you simply want to take a break. Whatever the reason, canceling your Audible subscription is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps, regardless of whether you're using the website or the mobile app.
Cancelling Your Audible Membership Through the Website
This method is generally preferred for its clarity and ease of access to all account details.
Step 1: Log in to Your Audible Account.
Head to the official Audible website and log in using your registered email address and password. Make sure you're logged into the correct account associated with the membership you want to cancel.
Step 2: Access Your Account Settings.
Once logged in, locate your account settings. The exact location might vary slightly depending on the website's design updates, but it's usually found under a profile icon or a "My Account" section in the top right corner of the page.
Step 3: Find the Membership Management Section.
Within your account settings, look for a section related to "Membership," "Subscription," or "Payment." This is where you'll manage your Audible membership details.
Step 4: Cancel Your Membership.
You should see a clear option to "Cancel Membership," "End Membership," or something similar. Click on this option.
Step 5: Confirm Your Cancellation.
Audible will likely ask you to confirm your cancellation decision. They might offer reasons for staying and potentially provide incentives. Carefully review this information, but if you're certain you want to cancel, confirm your choice.
Step 6: Note the Cancellation Date.
Audible will inform you of the date your membership will officially end. You'll typically still have access to your purchased audiobooks until the end of your billing cycle.
Cancelling Your Audible Membership Through the Mobile App
Cancelling via the app follows a similar process, but the exact steps might slightly differ depending on your operating system (iOS or Android).
Step 1: Open the Audible App.
Launch the Audible app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure you're logged into the correct account.
Step 2: Access Your Account Settings.
The location of account settings varies between iOS and Android versions, but it's usually found by tapping your profile picture or icon. Look for "Settings," "My Account," or a similar option.
Step 3: Navigate to Membership Management.
Within the account settings, find the membership management section. This might be labeled "Membership," "Subscription," or something similar.
Step 4: Initiate Cancellation.
Tap on the option to cancel your membership. You might be presented with similar options as the website version.
Step 5: Confirm Cancellation.
As with the website, confirm your decision to cancel. Audible might attempt to retain you as a customer, so review the information carefully before confirming.
Step 6: Check Cancellation Date.
Verify the cancellation date to understand when your membership will officially expire. Keep in mind that your access to purchased content will continue until the end of your billing cycle.
Important Considerations After Cancelling
- Refunds: Audible generally doesn't offer refunds for unused portions of your membership.
- Downloaded Books: You'll retain access to any audiobooks you've already downloaded, even after your membership ends.
- Reactivation: You can always reactivate your Audible membership in the future if you change your mind.
By following these steps, you can successfully cancel your Audible membership and manage your subscription effectively. Remember to carefully review the information provided at each step to ensure a smooth cancellation process. If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to contact Audible customer support for assistance.
