How does an Audible subscription work?
The idea is simple: every month, you receive a Audio credit that you exchange for the audiobook of your choice, regardless of the price.
audio credit
Your credit will arrive on birthday of your subscription. You can use it on any title from among thousands of audiobooks available in the catalog. If you don't use it right away, it rolls over to the following months—you won't lose it.
If you've already used up your credit and are interested in another title, you can purchase additional books directly at the price listed on the platform.
The catalog
The catalog covers all genres: novels, thrillers, self-help, classic literature and the latest bestsellers. You'll also find a wide selection of podcasts and exclusive content you won't find anywhere else.
Streaming
In addition to your monthly credit, the’Standard Subscription gives you a unlimited access to a selection of included audiobooks and podcasts, without using any credits. You can listen on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, either streaming or offline.
Termination
The subscription is without obligation. You can cancel your subscription from your account in just a few clicks, at any time. The tracks you've purchased with your credits will remain in your library even after cancellation: they're yours for life.
What is an Audible audio credit used for?
the monthly payment lets you get any title from the catalog, even new releases listed at high prices. So you often pay much less than the book’s actual price. That’s the whole point: Get the most out of your subscription aiming for the headlines.
Once you've used up the credit, the book is yours permanently. If you wait until you've accumulated a few, you can treat yourself to several tracks at once without having to wait.
