How to cancel Audible

Cancel on Audible.com: your name, Membership details, Cancel membership, then Confirm cancellation; you get a confirmation email. Apple- or Google-billed memberships must be cancelled in the App Store or Google Play. Gotcha: Premium members lose unused credits when the membership ends, so spend them first.

Still unknown

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Audible can't cancel memberships billed by Apple or Google: cancel in the App Store or Google Play
  • Spend unused credits first: Premium members lose them when the membership ends (credits from App Store or Google Play memberships don't expire)
  • Audible Customer Service can also cancel by phone or chat
  • Pausing a monthly membership keeps your credits and pauses payments

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/audible.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
