How to cancel Audible

✓ Last checked Oct 2026 against Audible’s official pages. See sources

Audible memberships are canceled on the Audible website under Membership details, unless you’re billed through Apple or Google. Use your credits first: Audible says unused credits are lost when you cancel.

Ways to cancel

Online: On audible.com, select your name, then Membership details, then Cancel membership, then Confirm cancellation.
Phone: Audible customer service: 1-888-283-5051.
App Store / Google Play: If you’re billed through Apple or Google, cancel in that store’s subscription settings.

Step by step

Spend any remaining credits. Titles you get with credits are yours to keep.
On the Audible website, select your name, then Membership details.
Select Cancel membership, then Confirm cancellation.
Look for the confirmation email and check that Membership details shows the change.

Watch out for

Audible says unused credits are lost when you cancel. Credits from App Store or Google Play memberships don’t expire.
Deleting the Audible app does not cancel your membership.
If you don’t see a cancel option, make sure you’re signed in to the account that has the membership.
Premium members may be offered a pause instead. A pause isn’t a cancellation.

Whatever method you use, save proof: a confirmation number, email, screenshot, or certified mail receipt. Then check your next statement.

Your rights when canceling, in plain English

Signed up online? A federal law, the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA), requires sellers of online subscriptions to show the key terms before taking your billing information, get your express consent before charging you, and give you a simple way to stop recurring charges (15 U.S.C. § 8403).
The FTC’s “click to cancel” rule is not in effect. The FTC adopted it in 2024, but a federal appeals court vacated it in July 2025 before it took effect. In March 2026 the FTC asked for public comment on a possible new rule. As of October 2026 no replacement rule has been adopted (rulemaking status).
State automatic renewal laws. Many states have their own rules. For example, California’s law says that if you signed up online, you must be able to cancel online, and it requires reminders before some renewals (California AG). Rules differ by state.
Gym contracts. Many states also have health club laws. Depending on the state, these can include a short window to cancel after you sign, or a right to cancel if you move far away or become disabled. Check your state consumer protection office (find yours).
Charged after you canceled? For a credit card, you can dispute a billing error in writing. The FTC says your letter should reach the card issuer within 60 days after the first bill with the error was sent to you (FTC). For automatic debits from a bank account, tell the company you’re revoking authorization, then tell your bank. To stop the next payment, notify your bank at least three business days before it’s scheduled (CFPB).

This is general information, not legal advice. Your contract and your state’s law decide what applies to you.
