Regular price
$14.95/mo (Audible Premium Plus — most popular plan)
Discount you can get
50% off Premium Plus for 3 months ($7.48/mo instead of $14.95/mo). Some users also report being offered a free month, bonus credits, or a downgrade to the Standard plan as alternative offers.
How to unlock this discount
Log in to your Audible account at audible.com using a desktop or mobile browser (not the app — the cancellation/retention flow is only available on the website).
Click on your name or profile icon in the top-right corner, then select 'Account Details.'
Scroll down to the 'Membership Details' section and click 'Cancel membership' (this is just to enter the retention flow — you will NOT be cancelling).
Audible will present a first screen asking why you want to leave. Select 'It's too expensive' as your reason — this is the trigger most likely to surface a pricing discount.
Audible will now show you a retention offer screen. Common offers include: 50% off for 3 months, a free bonus month, or extra credits. Review the offer presented.
If the first offer is not the 50% discount (e.g., they offer a pause or downgrade), click 'Continue to cancel' or 'No thanks' to proceed to the next screen, which often has a better monetary offer.
When you see the 50% off for 3 months offer (or the best offer presented), click 'Accept offer' or 'Keep my membership' to lock in the discount. Your subscription continues at the reduced rate.
Insider Tips
Always select 'It's too expensive' or 'The price is not right' as your cancellation reason — this specifically triggers pricing-related retention offers rather than feature-based ones
Decline the first offer if it's just a pause or downgrade — the second or third screen in the flow often has the actual monetary discount (50% off)
Use a desktop browser, not the Audible app. The app may route you to a simplified cancellation flow that skips retention offers entirely
Try this trick after being a paying member for at least 2-3 months — brand new subscribers may not receive the best offers
If you only get a weak offer (e.g., pause for 1 month), complete the cancellation fully. Within a few days to weeks, Audible often sends a 'win-back' email with an even better deal (sometimes $7.95/mo for 3 months or a discounted annual plan at $89/yr)
You can repeat this strategy roughly every 3-6 months. After the discounted period ends and you return to full price, wait a billing cycle or two and try the flow again
Do NOT mention you're trying to get a discount — just proceed through the self-service cancellation flow online. There is no live chat or phone negotiation needed; the offers are automated

Confidence is 'medium' because while multiple sources confirm retention offers exist and 50% off for 3 months is the most commonly reported, the exact offer can vary by account history, tenure, and timing.
