You can still listen to Audible books after cancelling your membership, but you'll lose your credits

With Audible, for example, if you opt to cancel your Audible membership, you would still have access to the audiobooks you purchased via your Audible library.

However, you would lose any credits accumulated during your membership, so you'd want to use those before cancelling. Otherwise, you would waste your credits.

Whether times are tough, or you're just not interested in audiobooks anymore, here's how you can cancel your Audible membership.

How to cancel your Audible membership

If you're interested in cancelling your membership, here's how to get it done:

1. Log into your Audible account on your Mac or PC.

2. Hover over "Hi, [name]!" located in the top menu and select "Account Details."

3. Enter your login information, if prompted.

4. Click "Cancel membership."

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your cancellation.

If you have remaining credits when you attempt to cancel, you should be prompted to use those first. If you choose not to, you would lose those credits.
