How To Gift An Audible Membership or Books

With Audible, you can give the gift of books, but you can’t do this with an Audible gift card – because they don’t exist. Instead, you’ll have to give an Audible book or a complete membership as a gift. Fortunately, you can do so quickly and easily using the Audible website on your Mac or PC.

How Do I Purchase A Gift Membership From Audible?

To give an Audible membership as a present, go to the membership gifting page and choose a plan – 1, 3, 6, and 12-month Audible gift subscriptions are available. These range in price from $15.00 to $150.00. Each membership also comes with a set number of credits that may be used to get a free audiobook. Simply follow the steps below:

Go to the Audible Gift Center. Choose the membership you’d want to give as a present and then click ‘Gift Membership.’ On the next page, fill out the gift information. Click Continue when you’re finished. Choose a card to match your gift from the following page, then click Continue. To finish your transaction, click Buy Now for $X.XX.

How Do I Buy An Audible Audiobook As A Present?

If you opt to gift someone an audiobook instead of an audible membership, you can use your Audible credit or a credit card to buy the gift audiobook. Log into your Audible account  and follow the steps below to offer someone special the gift of a wonderful listen:

Find the audiobook you want to give as a gift and click on it. Then select Give as a present. Next, decide whether you want to send your gift via email or as a printable card. Examine the data you entered and decide how you want to pay for your gift. However, note that coupons cannot be used to purchase a gift title. To complete your purchase, click Confirm Purchase. After you’ve purchased your gift, you’ll be directed to a Thank You page that confirms your order, as well as an email confirming your purchase. If you choose to print your gift, instructions on how to print and fold your card will be provided. Your recipient will have access to all membership privileges and can keep any titles purchased.

It’s important to note that you can also share one book from your Audible library (and you can share books with one person at a time), so if you have a title that a friend will enjoy, you can save money by using the share shortcut.

Paying for a Gift

The following payment methods are accepted for all Audible Gift memberships:

Visa MasterCard American Express Discover

If you receive a credit card error, double-check that your account’s default payment is current and retry your purchase.

What Happens When Audible Gift Membership Expires?

Gift membership credits are only valid for a maximum of 12 months after they are issued. That is, a 12-month credit issued on May 1, 2020, for example, will expire on May 1, 2021, whereas a credit issued on June 1, 2020, will expire 12 months later. However, the recipient will not be charged for an Audible subscription plan once the gift membership expires.  From their Account Details page, they can choose to enroll in a plan at any time.

How Can I Cancel My Audible Membership?

Even if you’re not ready to cancel but don’t want to use the services at a particular time, you can pause your membership. More so, you do not have to delete the Audible app from your device as your membership will not be canceled even if you delete the app from your device – you may still be charged. The steps below will guide you to cancel your membership: However, before you cancel your membership, it is advised that you use any remaining credits. After you cancel, you’ll definitely lose access to your member benefits and all credits at the end of your final billing period.

Not a single thing! Even if you decide to terminate your subscription, any titles you purchase with a credit or credit card are yours to retain forever.

To see your library, log in to Audible.com or your Audible app at any time.

9. What happens if I use a gift membership to upgrade an account that already has one?
