Cancel Amazon Prime (And Get a Refund If Eligible)
Amazon hides Prime cancellation behind several "are you sure?" retention screens. Here is the direct path to the real cancel button, plus the refund rules most people miss.
Cancelling Audible is easy, but the membership model has a few catches. Your purchased audiobooks stay yours, but unused credits usually do not survive cancellation. Here is how to do it properly.
Audible is owned by Amazon, so the account and billing system is the same one you use for Prime. The cancellation itself takes a few clicks, but the credit system means timing matters more than with most subscriptions.
The Audible app generally redirects you to the website or Amazon to manage membership. If you subscribed inside the iOS or Android app, the subscription may be billed by Apple or Google Play instead - in that case, cancel in Settings → Subscriptions or the Play Store.
This is the most important Audible-specific step. Unused membership credits typically expire when you cancel. Log in, check your credit balance, and spend every credit on books you want before you confirm the cancellation. Once the membership ends, those credits are gone.
Audible sometimes offers a "pause membership" option instead of cancelling. This stops your monthly charge and credit for one to three months while keeping your account and benefits ready to resume. It is worth considering if you only need a short break.
| What | After you cancel |
|---|---|
| Audiobooks you bought | Yours permanently - they stay in your library |
| Unused credits | Typically forfeited - spend them before you confirm |
| The Audible Plus catalog | Access until the end of the current billing period |
| Your library if you rejoin | Still there |
