DoNotPay Makes You Stunned With an Audible Refund

Audible is an Amazon-owned subscription service that produces and sells audio information, entertainment, and education content. It offers products ranging from digital audiobooks to audio newspapers, and everything in between.

The most expensive Audible title at the moment is Charles Dickens’ "Our Mutual Friend," priced at $107.09. So, how do you get a refund if you realize you are not a Dickens fan only after you have purchased the book?

What Is the Audible Cancelation Refund Policy?

Audible’s Conditions of Use state that should you cancel your subscription or membership, you won't get a refund of any paid fees. Audible will terminate your member benefits when your membership is canceled, but you will still have your license and access to purchased content.

Even though Audible is pretty adamant regarding the no-refund cancelation policy, there is an exception to this rule. At their discretion, Audible reserves the right to terminate anyone's membership without notice. They will allow you a prorated refund for the remaining membership days that you won't use on condition that you do not infringe the Terms or any applicable laws, commit fraud, or use the Service to the detriment of the company or other users.

What Makes Me Eligible for an Audible Refund?

According to Audible Exchange Policy, you can return or exchange your book and request a refund within 12 months of purchase. That said, each active member is eligible for a refund for a limited number of times.

At their discretion, Audible reserves the right to limit the number of returns and refunds allowed to each member if they suspect that the member is abusing the benefits ensured by the Exchange Policy.

They can also revoke the member’s right to return a book altogether.

Eligibility for a book refund ends immediately after the membership cancelation or due to the inability to maintain membership in good standing.

Non-members can return and refund two titles every six months by contacting Audible here.

For more information about the Audible refund, you can check the Audible Help Center.

Why Is My Title Labeled Not eligible for return?

Audiobooks can be returned only a certain number of times using the online tool. Should you see Not eligible for return indication next to your title, you can contact Customer Service to process your return or find substitute titles for you to listen to.

Can I Get a Refund on My Audible Credits?

Credits are valid for 12 months after they are issued, but as they have no cash value, they are non-refundable.

How to Request an Audible Refund on My Own?

Audible has automated a refund request process for customers. First, you have to request a return, and then your refund will be automatically processed according to the payment method you used for purchase. Regrettably, there is no way to request an Audible refund via the application. You can only access the Audible webpage from a browser on any of your devices. There are three ways you can return it yourself:

  1. Desktop site
  2. Mobile site
  3. Email, chat, or phone (facilitated through the Customer Support Service at Audible.com)
